Below is some more information on the TRI Industry Sector Expansion
proposed rules that was squashed by Congress. Holly Lynch asked me where
I was getting this information. It is from a listserver that EPA
maintains. EPA has money to hire some people that sit around and read
newspapers all day, and then write up short summaries on environmental,
medical, or technological topics. Sometimes there is useful information.
I'll probably continue to receive this for a while. Anything of value
I'll try to post on ComplianceNet. Just remember that my concept of
"valuable" may not match your own. To receive this yourselves you can
use the instructions at the end of this email.

"Administration May Scale Down Disclosure Proposal on Toxic
Chemicals." Washington Post, 21 March 97, A4.
The Clinton administration is considering softening a
proposed expansion of EPA's "community right-to-know"
program that would add seven new categories of industries
to
a group of 23,000 companies that must report toxic
releases
to the government [article mentions that EPA publishes the
toxic release inventory (TRI) on the Internet each year].
The administration is facing criticism from Congress and
industry about the economic impact of the proposal on
small
businesses. While EPA opposes weakening the proposed
rule,
"top administration officials are reportedly hoping to
avert
a possible fight with congressional Republicans who have
threatened to challenge the proposed rule under their
newly
acquired authority to overturn regulations."
