Section 7422. Listing of certain unregulated pollutants

    (a) Radioactive pollutants, cadmium, arsenic, and polycyclic
      organic matter
      Not later than one year after August 7, 1977 (two years for
    radioactive pollutants) and after notice and opportunity for public
    hearing, the Administrator shall review all available relevant
    information and determine whether or not emissions of radioactive
    pollutants (including source material, special nuclear material,
    and byproduct material), cadmium, arsenic and polycyclic organic
    matter into the ambient air will cause, or contribute to, air
    pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public
    health. If the Administrator makes an affirmative determination
    with respect to any such substance, he shall simultaneously with
    such determination include such substance in the list published
    under section 7408(a)(1) or 7412(b)(1)(A) )1(! of this title (in
    the case of a substance which, in the judgment of the
    Administrator, causes, or contributes to, air pollution which may
    reasonably be anticipated to result in an increase in mortality or
    an increase in serious irreversible, or incapacitating reversible,
    illness), or shall include each category of stationary sources
    emitting such substance in significant amounts in the list
    published under section 7411(b)(1)(A) of this title, or take any
    combination of such actions.

    (b) Revision authority
      Nothing in subsection (a) of this section shall be construed to
    affect the authority of the Administrator to revise any list
    referred to in subsection (a) of this section with respect to any
    substance (whether or not enumerated in subsection (a) of this
    section).
    (c) Consultation with Nuclear Regulatory Commission; interagency
      agreement; notice and hearing
      (1) Before listing any source material, special nuclear, or
    byproduct material (or component or derivative thereof) as provided
    in subsection (a) of this section, the Administrator shall consult
    with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
      (2) Not later than six months after listing any such material (or
    component or derivative thereof) the Administrator and the Nuclear
    Regulatory Commission shall enter into an interagency agreement
    with respect to those sources or facilities which are under the
    jurisdiction of the Commission. This agreement shall, to the
    maximum extent practicable consistent with this chapter, minimize
    duplication of effort and conserve administrative resources in the
    establishment, implementation, and enforcement of emission
    limitations, standards of performance, and other requirements and
    authorities (substantive and procedural) under this chapter
    respecting the emission of such material (or component or
    derivative thereof) from such sources or facilities.
      (3) In case of any standard or emission limitation promulgated by
    the Administrator, under this chapter or by any State (or the
    Administrator) under any applicable implementation plan under this
    chapter, if the Nuclear Regulatory Commission determines, after
    notice and opportunity for public hearing that the application of
    such standard or limitation to a source or facility within the
    jurisdiction of the Commission would endanger public health or
    safety, such standard or limitation shall not apply to such
    facilities or sources unless the President determines otherwise
    within ninety days from the date of such finding.
