Default What's in brown pressure-treated wood?

Just bought some PT lumber today. Both Home Despot and the local
lumberyard had the same stuff: dark brown. Looks kinda nice, actually,
kinda like it's pre-stained. (Didn't buy at Home Despot 'cause all they
had were 20' lengths in most sizes, whereas my
only-slightly-higher-priced local yard had 8s, 10s, 12s, ... FAIL!)

Does anyone know what the chemical agent is in this new brown stuff? I
assume it's less toxic than the bad old copper arsenate.

Like they say, it looks like brown is the new green.
