Beryllium--A maximum allowable con centration of beryllium for ambient air has been in use by the Department of Defense and the Atomic Energy Com mission for many years.

The Administrator will notify tlio applicant of approval or disapproval of sucli application within GC days of receipt. A fee will be charged to defray part or all the costs of the review. Tlio feo structure will be revised from time to time cs experience with Uic program is developed. Beryllium, Mercury Pursuant In section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, the Administrator published in I lie Fcokmai. IJmsTKa of March 31. 1971 T3G CFR Part 62] nn initial list of three hazardous air pollut ants which in his judgment may cattse, or contribute to, an increase in mortality or an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible, illness. Publi co lion of the list constituted an an nouncement of the Administrator's in tention of establishing, under section 112, national emission standards for certain source categories known to emit Llic.se hazardous pollutants. These standards arc based on Information derived from many sources, including health effects levels, meteorology, technical analysis of control capability, and consideration of economic impact, 'lhc overriding consid beryllium standards. The proposed stand ards offer the owner or operator the option of measuring compliance by either emission testing or measurement of am bient concentration levels in Uic vicinity of the plant. However, It Is anticipated that most sources will elect to comply with the given emission limitation. Buildings or other obstructions in the vicinity of the source, or location in highly urbanized areas, may make it impossible to design and locale a sam pling network that provides sufficient assurance that areas of maximum con centration arc measured. The known major sources of bcryllitun are extraction plants, machine shops and foundries handling beryllium or beryl lium-containing alloys, ceramic plants using beryllium, rocket propellants con taining beryllium, and incinerators burn ing beryllium-containing waste. Those Omitted from the. proiKMcd regulations are provisions for delegations of author ity to SUitcs under section 112(d) H). Nevertheless, it is tlic Administrator':; intention lo encourage Stales to assume Uic principal responsibility for enforce ment of national emission .standards for hazardous air pollutants. Toward this end, procedures for delegating authority will bo established early next year, after the States have submitted their plans for implementation of national ambient air quality standards. x In accordance with section 117(f) of tlio Act, publication of (hose pr.v>:.od standards was preceded by consultation with appropriate advisory eommitiees, independent experts, and Federal depart ments and agencies.
