requesting the substance be added to the list as a characteristic chemical. The recommendation will include the reason for the recommended addition. a.

"Chemical Category" substances In the list of reportable substances, a number of chemical categories are listed. They are designated by "N" followed by a three -digit number, rather than a CAS number. These categories are defined in SARA 313 (EPCRA), and chemicals included in the listed categories are reportable under Eugene's Toxics Right -to -Know law. A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) will often be helpful in determining whether you are working with Chemical Category substances. This information may appear on the list of hazardous ingredients on the SDS, and /or under "Regulatory Information," where one or more chemicals may be listed without a CAS number, but as reportable under SARA 313. Chemicals listed federally without CAS numbers The Toxics Board has identified a small number of chemicals or groups of chemicals that appear on the federal lists that comprise the Eugene list of reportable substances, but that do not have CAS numbers. These appear on the list with the designation "TB" followed by a number. They are reportable in the same manner as other reportable chemicals. Table of Special Designations -13- The generic designations CI through C7 indicate chemicals whose identity (CAS number) is not known to the reporting business, but C which are known to possess one or more of the characteristics of hazardous waste as defined in 40 CFR Part 261, Subpart C (Appendix D). The N designation (followed by a three -digit number) indicates N chemical categories listed as reportable in SARA 313. They include any compound that contains the listed chemical as part of its infrastructure. If an SDS lists a substance as reportable under SARA 313 or SARA SG 302, but does not identify the chemical because it is a trade secret of the supplier, the chemical may be reported as SG. -13-
