List of Regulated Substances and Thresholds for Accidental 
Release Prevention; Flammable Hydrocarbon Fuel Exemption

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

SUMMARY: On May 28, 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed 
to modify the rule listing regulated substances and threshold 
quantities for the Risk Management Program (RMP) issued under section 
112(r) of the Clean Air Act as amended. EPA proposed that regulated 
flammable hydrocarbon substances need not be considered in determining 
whether more than a threshold quantity is present when the substance is 
intended for use as a fuel and does not exceed 67,000 pounds in a 
process that is not manufacturing the fuel, does not contain greater 
than a threshold quantity of another regulated substance, and is not 
collocated or interconnected to another covered process. This notice 
extends the public comment period for the proposed rule.

DATES: The comment period for the proposed rule is extended from the
