Granting Petitions To Add 1-bromopropane (Also Known as 1-BP) to the List of Hazardous Air Pollutants

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting petitions to add n-propyl bromide (nPB) (Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) No. 106-94-5) to the list of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) contained in the Clean Air Act (CAA). The EPA is taking final action to grant these petitions based on the petitioners having met the requirements contained in CAA section 112(b)(3), which allows any person to petition the Administrator to add a substance to the list of HAP. The term 1-bromopropane (1-BP), which is used throughout this document, is the common name for nPB. This is the first occasion on which the EPA is granting petitions to add a substance to the list of HAP that Congress created in 1990. Following this action, the EPA will take a separate regulatory action to add 1-BP to the list of HAP under CAA section 112(b)(1).
