-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is extending, until April 6, 2010, the comment period for
the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) published in the
Federal Register on January 6, 2010. In the ANPRM, the Agency
identified the classes of facilities within three industries--the
Chemical Manufacturing industry (NAICS 325), the Petroleum and Coal
Products Manufacturing industry (NAICS 324), and the Electric Power
Generation, Transmission, and Distribution industry (NAICS 2211)--as
those for which the Agency plans to develop, as necessary, proposed
regulations identifying appropriate financial responsibility
requirements under section 108(b) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). In addition, the
Agency identified the Waste Management and Remediation Services
industry (NAICS 562), the Wood Product Manufacturing industry (NAICS
321), the Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing industry (NAICS 332),
the Electronics and Electrical Equipment Manufacturing industry (NAICS
334 and 335), as well as facilities engaged in the recycling of
materials containing CERCLA hazardous substances as requiring further
study before EPA decides whether to begin the regulatory development
process. EPA also wants to clarify the proper Docket Identification
Number for the January 2010 ANPRM.
