Title: ●Interpretation of "Used Routine Agricultural Operations" under EPCRA 
Abstract:

EPA intends to conduct a rulemaking on the interpretation of used in routine agricultural operations as it pertains to reporting requirements under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). EPCRA section 304 requires all facilities at which a hazardous chemical is produced, used or stored to report releases of reportable quantities of any EPCRA Extremely Hazardous Substance and of any hazardous substance listed under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). Congress, however, created an exception relevant to farms.
