On December 28, 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a draft notice of the agency’s rationale for granting petitions to add n-propyl bromide (nPB), also known as 1-bromopropane (1-BP), to the list of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) contained in section 112(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

EPA is seeking comments on the agency's technical review of the petitions on whether the criteria for listing have been met and the agency’s rationale for the EPA’s proposed decision to grant these petitions.
