Mesitylene is the subject of a test rule subacute oral toxicity and subchtonic oral toxicity in tats were underway in 1994 (24). The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) allows monitoring for pseudocumene and mesitylene at the discretion of the State (25).

Cadmium compounds and terephthallc acid are also listed toxic chemicals. Your company processes toluene, and otherwise uses (not processes) the cadmium catalyst (see the definition of "otherwise use" below). Your company manufactures benzoic acid and terephthallc acid. Benzoic acid, however, is not a listed chemical and thus does not trigger reporting requirements. 

Manufacturing qualifiers. Two of the entries to the section 313 chemical list contain a qualifier relating to manufacture. For isopropyl alcohol, the qualifier is "manufacturing-strong acid process. For saccharin, the qualifier simply is "manufacturing."

A facility that processes or otherwise uses either chemical would not be required to report for those chemicals. In both cases, supplier notification does not apply because only manufacturers, not users, of the toxic chemical must report.

PRISIM embodies the IREP model of Arkansas 1. It includes extensive grapitivs of. simplified flow diagrams and relevant operating history from LERs (Licensee Event Reports required by Regulatory Guide 1.16) The plant model consists of 500 cutsets truncated by probabilities determined from normal operation. 

It also specifies data requirements, assumptions, limitations, eventual type of critical review, and the report requirements. For example, a study could be done to select between one of two materials when developing a dust transport container for a baghouse filter. The intended audience may be the designers, the results being used to indicate which one of the two materials provides the lowest environmental impact. The system function may be to transport dust from the baghouse filter to a landfill site, and the functional unit may be one metric ton or m of dust. The system boundaries may be described by considering which processes are included and which are outside the system limits.
