Exempt amount

Step 2 allows you to identify uses of the chemical or chemical category that were included In Step 1 but that are exempt under section 313. Do not include In Step 2 exempt forms of the chemical not included in the calculations in Step 1. For example. If you did not report the freon contained in the building s air conditioners in Step 1, you would not include the amount as exempt in Step 2. Step 2 is intended for use when one form or use of the chemical is exempt while others forms require reporting. Note the type of exemption for future reference. Also identify, if applicable, the fraction or percentage of the chemical present that Is exempt. Add the amounts in each activity to obtain a subtotal for exempted amounts of the chemical or chemical categories at the facility.

Exempt Waste. The class of exempt waste embodies the concept that there are amounts of hazardous substances in waste which are so low that the associated risks to the public for any method of disposal generally would not be of concern. Thus, if waste that contains radionuclides were classified as exempt, the waste could be disposed of as if it were nonradioactive, and similarly for waste that contains hazardous chemicals or mixtures of the two. Further, mixed wastes that contain exempt amounts of radionuclides could be managed based on their hazardous chemical content, and vice versa. 

A matter of serious concern to the NRC is security of licensed materials. Although not explicitly stated in theregulations,there havebeeninterpretationsby individuals intheNRCthat since the regulation specifies licensed materials, exempt quantities ofmaterials maybe construed as exempt from security requirements, but this interpretation is not necessarily firm. It would be advisable to treat exempt amounts of licensed materials as not exempt.

When the facility uses or stores hazardous chemicals or gases in sufficient quantity, it must be considered a Hazardous, Group H occupancy. A summary of the quantity, location and type of hazardous materials located within a given control area is required in order to make the correct occupancy classifications. If a review of the hazardous production material (HPM) inventory indicates quantities above the exempt amounts set in UBC Tables 3-D or 3-E (pgs. 1-62 to 1-64) for a control area, an H occupancy classification is mandated. Refer to Tables 1 and 2 which have been taken from the 1994 UBC. 

Areas within a facility which use or store less than the exempt amounts of HPMs may be considered control areas and must be constructed with not less than one-hour partitions. The control area is a space within an occupancy which does not have to be considered a specific hazardous storage occupancy such as H-1, H-2, H-3 or H-7. There may be up to four individual control areas within a building however, the aggregate quantity of HPMs in a fab area (including control rooms) may not exceed the maximum amounts in UFC Table 5103-A (in 1994 UBC, pg. 1-160). 

Table 1. UBC exempt amounts of hazardous material presenting a physical hazard (UBC Table 3-D) showing maximum quantities per control area. When two units are given, values within parentheses are in cubic feet (cu ft) or pounds (lbs).

Hazardous material storage rooms are classified as H-1, H-2, H-3 or H-7 when the quantities of hazardous materials contained within exceed the exempt amounts listed in UBC Tables 3-D or 3-E or UFC Tables 8001.13A or 8001.13-B. While the construction and operation requirements for these storage and dispensing rooms are very complex as provided in UBC Chapter 3 and UFC Articles 51,79 and 80, some general requirements are presented here. 

In the first years of gasohol use some starting and driveabiUty problems were reported (19). Not all vehicles experienced these problems, however, and better fuel economy was often indicated even though the energy content of the fuel was reduced. Gasohol was exempted from the federal excise tax amounting to a 0.16/L ( 0.60/gal) subsidy. Without this subsidy, ethanol would be too expensive for use even as a fuel additive. 

As mentioned above, state and local governments can boiTow at relatively low interest rates by issuing tax-exempt debt, and this finance technique is used to a gi eat extent in highway and road construction. By reducing the cost of road construction, tax-exempt debt may increase the amount of construction undertaken, thereby increasing the demand for fuels. 

Hazardous waste samples are small, discrete amounts of hazardous waste that are essential to ensure accurate characterization and proper hazardous waste treatment. In order to facilitate the analysis of these materials, RCRA exempts characterization samples and treatability study samples from Subtitle C hazardous waste regulation ... 

Precious Metals Recovery Metal recovery units engaged in precious metals recovery are also conditionally exempt from Part 266, Subpart H. Precious metal recovery is defined as the reclamation of economically significant amounts of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, ruthenium, or any combination of these metals. Provided the owner/operator complies with the alternative requirements, the unit would be exempt from all BIF requirements except for the regulations concerning the management of residues. 

Interim status combustion facilities subject to the MACT standards also have to meet the three-year deadline. Interim status facilities are allowed to implement certain facility changes if the changes do not amount to reconstruction. To ensure that the reconstruction clause does not present an obstacle for interim status facilities trying to implement changes to meet the new MACT emissions levels, U.S. EPA exempted changes necessary to comply with the MACT standards from the reconstruction limit. 

Pesticide chemical residues are not considered food additives . Therefore they must adhere to different requirements. Section 408 of the FDCA authorizes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish a tolerance for the maximum amount of a pesticide residue that may be legally present in or on a raw agricultural commodity. This section also authorizes the EPA to exempt a pesticide residue in a raw agricultural commodity from the requirement of a tolerance. The requirements for pesticide chemical residues depend on whether they are present on raw agricultural commodities or processed foods. Pesticide residue limits for specific foods are provided by the EPA and can be accessed at http //www.epa.gov/pesticides/food/viewtols.htm.

In order to encourage pharmaceutical companies to invest in orphan drug development, legislation provides for a number of incentives. These include application fee waiver (the extent of reduction varies with the region of the world, and in the European Union it is 50% for all fees since 2002), market exclusivity and protocol assistance. In the European Union, there is 100% reduction in the fee applicable to the provision of any scientific advice. The fund made available by the Community for fee exemptions for orphan medicinal products amounts to= 3 700000 in 2005.
