        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA finalized changes to the Emergency Planning Notification, Emergency Release Notification and Hazardous Chemical Reporting regulations that were proposed on June 8, 1998. EPA proposed four major revisions and provided draft guidance on various reporting options that States and local agencies may wish to consider in implementing the hazardous chemical reporting requirements. The final rule addressed only those changes proposed under the heading ``Other Regulatory Changes'' described in the preamble to the 1998 proposed rule. The final rule included minor revisions to the Emergency Planning Notification, Emergency Release Notification and Hazardous Chemical Reporting regulations, codifying statutory requirements, and clarifying certain interpretations and policy statements that EPA has provided to the regulated community. This final rule did not affect public access to any of the information provided under the Emergency Planning Notification, Emergency Release Notification and Hazardous Chemical Reporting regulations. In addition to the regulatory changes, the Agency finalized the plain language format of the regulations. Each section in these regulations were re-numbered and tables were added for further clarification. Improving the clarity of the regulatory requirements made the rule easier to understand and will improve compliance.]]></ABSTRACT>
