hi the iqiliHiry Impact Analysis prepared for this final rule.
4. Finding* on the nee ofcopot Hon. TV propoeed rule discussed whether tfoe net of PCBs fo capacitors should continue end the opttone EPA conelderjd to reduce the risks from the uee of KB* In capadtsrs. The propoeed rule authorised the uee of cepedtore for Ion Mere. Severe) cemmmii suggested foot capacitors should be categorized on the bhafo of difference in potential for expoeure. TVse differences ortee because of difference* in Ike occrMobility of the copedtor locetion end differences in foe degree of eoelolninenl of any fCB spills or feuka which may occur. EPA agrees with these commente end he* creeled categories heeed on foe comments. Other comment* urged EPA to eliminete foe phese-out requirement altogether. With respect to those capadtor* in the category with comparatively low
oxpooure potential EPA screes with these comments and he* entnineled foe phese-out. but with reaped to other capacitor*. EPA hot concluded that the coal of six-year phese-out is reasonable because of foe forge quantity of PCBs release which win be avoided and boceuoe of the comparatively high potential for expoeure in these locations.
This final rule prohibits foe use of forge PCS Capacitors after October 1, 19th onfoee foe copedtors are used in restricted-access outdoor electrice! substation*, or In oontstned and. rootrided-occass Indoor btotoflotion*. EPA finds foot foe more limited potential for exposure m these reslricted-sccess IocsHons warrants authorising their use for the remainder of foetr useful lives.
A very forge number of comments staled foot the benefits of on inspection program for capacitors do not outweigh the costa. In moat cooes, forge releeset f PCBs from copedtors (ruptures) happen very suddenly oe e result oft forge amount of mtoigy entering the capadtor In a vary short font period. Inspections of Imssrotoe enpodtor*
he forge PCB CepoaHors Is very fimilad to preventing fotaro voleoooo of PCBs. Therefore, foie fowl rule efimfestoe foe proposed mqulrumont foot lorn* PCB Copodlovo moot ho iMpodod for holts of dtofodric Bold on o qu^^rtorfp hooto.
An toapoctfon program aaa spaad foa detection and sissnug of PCBe to cataa whose a rafoaae haa abuady accursed
demsd mg Hawauar. BA haa foarnad from commonis an foa propaaad nda
that for forge copedtors located on
distribution systems that a utility
company or other owner to ahnoet always notified of PCB releases by foe
public er company personnel within e much shorter time period than the propoeed quarterly Inspection frequency. furthermore. large PCB
Capadtor* located in electrical eobstetloas and Indoors or* typically
Inspected by company crews more frequently than foe propoeed quarterly
Inspection due to existing concerns for system efficiency and stability.
EPA finds foot authorising the use of
PCBs to capacitors not posing an exposure risk to food or feed, under the
required conditions, does not present an unreasonable risk for the following
a The uee of PCBs in large PCS
Capadtor* foot ere located in reetricted-
ecceM Indoor ineieletkme for their
retnelnina useful fives to such that PCBs
released from these capadtor* are
readily Identified and cleaned up with limited expoeure potential to humane and foe environment.
b The required six-year phase-out
period for forge PCB Capacitors should
prevent more than 300,000 pounds of
PCBs from entering foe environment and
some unknown percentage of that
quantity from entering the food chain.
This time period also avoids any
disruption of electrical service.
c. The coat ef the phase-oat
requirement to reasonable when
compared to the large amount of PCBe H
prevents from entering foe environment
and the coats and benefits of ahemetivt
rial reduction measures. This cost to
only 9237 par pound of PCB release
avoided.

teoedtors Because of for wtek s^wd and diverse nature of (heir ear end the mafi amount of PCB* contained w thm each Individual Smell capacitor ll regulatory approaches targeted controlling releases from these capacitors are very expensive when compared la foe potential quantity of PCBe kept from the environment
Consequently EPA he* not identified a reasonable cost-effective nguUimt alternative that would resuh in significantly reducing the risks associated with foe remaining PCB Small Capacitor* in service Therefor.* this final rule does not require eny restrictions regarding the use of PCBs m small capadtor* However. EPA encourages commercial and Industrial firm* that emend diepoee of large quantities of PCB Smafi Capacitor* to establish voluntarily a collection end disposal program that results tat waste cipecitors being dieposed of in an EPAnpproved incinerator or chemical waste landfill. Such programs could he
expanded to encourage voluntary collection end dispose! of PCB Smt! Capadtor* from the public end other firms Arty firm which desires more information about identifying end disposing of PCB Small Capacitors should contact the nearest EPA regional
office or the Industry Amistence Office at 100-424-9065 for assistance
Since these capacitors conian sir.*!! quantities of dielectric fluid and significant amounts of absorbent materia! such as paper, and became many of these capadtor* are encapsulated PCBs are rereH rrlrmt-rf from fosse capadtor* during their use or from foe equipment using the cap** itur*. Therefore, exposure risks to human* food. feed, water, er the environment from the see of these capacitors are km In conclusion. EPA find* that foe use of small capadtor* containing PCBs to nut unreasonable betssee their oar provides society with foe benefits hem the see of millions of pieces of electronic equipment and consumer produrta it

After further enatyab of llba coat-elfactfvenea* of vortoua occebralod phaae-oot periods and consideration of that* commants. EPA baa daddad to aatabttah a prohibition on dw use of PCS TVeneforawra.

Prohibiting the esc of PCB-contoining equipment in a location dwt poses an

In fact Ala rule allows uata of PCBs to riectrical aquipmant to continue that would otherwise be prohibited by section 9(e) of TSCA. This rule avoids Ae aevert disruption of electric eervice to Ae public end industry that would occw If Ae use were prohibited. It alao greatly
reduces Ae economic Impact that would result from a requirement to replace Ae equipment ea soon aa possible. However, although Ala proposal la aot mafor rule.
