Title: Reportable Quantity Adjustments for Carbamates 
Abstract: EPA has listed carbamate waste streams as hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). RCRA listed wastes, by statute, automatically become hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) and are assigned a one pound statutory reportable quantity (RQ) unless EPA adjusts them. These substances also become subject to reporting requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) with a one pound threshold. EPA, in this action, will propose RQ adjustments for the carbamates. Most RQ adjustments are expected to be greater than one pound. Raising the RQs for these substances would decrease the burden on 1) the regulated community for complying with the reporting requirements under CERCLA and EPCRA; 2) Federal, State, and local authorities for program implementation; and 3) Federal, State, or local authorities, if they release hazardous substances at the RQ level or greater.
