Hazardous Waste Technical Corrections and Clarifications Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is
taking Direct Final action on a number of technical changes that
correct or clarify several parts of the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste regulations that relate to
hazardous waste identification, manifesting, the hazardous waste
generator requirements, standards for owners and operators of hazardous
waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities, standards for the
management of specific types of hazardous waste and specific types of
hazardous waste management facilities, the land disposal restrictions
program, and the hazardous waste permit program. These changes correct
existing errors in the hazardous waste regulations that have occurred
over time in numerous final rules published in the Federal Register,
such as typographical errors, incorrect or outdated citations, and
omissions. Some of the corrections are necessary to make conforming
changes to all appropriate parts of the RCRA hazardous waste
regulations for new rules that have since been promulgated. In
addition, these changes clarify existing parts of the hazardous waste
regulatory program and update references to Department of
Transportation (DOT) regulations that have changed since the
publication of various RCRA hazardous waste final rules.

DATES: This Direct Final Rule is effective on June 16, 2010 without
further notice unless EPA receives adverse comments by May 3, 2010. If
adverse comment is received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of
the Direct Final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that
the rule will not take effect.
