Title: ●List of Regulated Substances and Thresholds for Accidental Release Prevention; Proposed Amendment; Flammable Hydrocarbon Fuel Exemption 
Abstract: EPA proposed to modify the list of regulated substances and threshold quantities rule promulgated under section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act. EPA proposed 67,000 pounds or less of a listed flammable hydrocarbon fuel (propane, butane, ethane, propylene, methane) be exempt from threshold quantity determination when handled in a process that is not manufacturing the fuel or connected to, or co-located with another covered process at the facility. This rule change is meant to provide relief to fuel users such as farms, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, etc. EPA also issued an interim stay of the effective date of the Risk Management Program rule as it applies to flammable hydrocarbon fuels, including propane, butane, ethane, propylene, and methane in quantities no greater than 67,000 pounds in a process.
