Title: ●National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan; Extension of Transition Period for New Product Schedule Listing 
Abstract:

The EPA is taking interim final action to revise the transition date in recent amendments to the requirements in Subpart J of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) that govern the use of dispersants, other chemicals and other spill mitigating substances when responding to oil discharges into jurisdictional waters of the United States (June 12, 2023, 88 FR 38280).
