40 CFR Part 261
[SW-FRL-4835-2]
Hazardous Waste Management System: Identification and Listing of
Hazardous Waste; Amendment
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Final rule; amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is
amending part 261, appendix IX to reflect changes in ownership and name
for the General Cable Company, Muncie, Indiana, and to delete
exclusions that have been terminated. Exclusions for the following
facilities have been deleted: The Envirite Corporation, Thomaston,
Connecticut; Pamcor C, Incorporated, Las Piedras, Puerto Rico; Texas
Instruments, Incorporated, Dallas, Texas; Tricil Corporation,
Nashville, Tennessee; Tricil Corporation, Hilliard, Ohio; Tricil
Corporation, Muskegon, Michigan; and the William L. Bonnell Company,
Carthage, Tennessee. Today's amendment documents these changes.
EFFECTIVE DATE: February 8, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: RCRA Hotline, toll free at (800) 424-
9346 or at (703) 920-9810. For technical information contact Mr. Jim
Kent, Office of Solid Waste (5304), U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, 401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460, (202) 260-6946.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this document EPA is amending appendix IX
to part 261 to reflect changes in the status of exclusions for certain
facilities. The petition process under Secs. 260.20 and 260.22 allows
facilities to demonstrate that a specific waste from a particular
generating facility should not be regulated as a hazardous waste. Based
on waste specific information provided by petitioner, EPA granted
exclusions to the following facilities: General Cable Company, Muncie,
Indiana (51 FR 37723, October 24, 1986); Envirite Corporation,
Thomaston, Connecticut (51 FR 41323, November 14, 1986), Pamcor C,
Incorporated, Las Piedras, Puerto Rico (51 FR 37019, October 17 1986);
Texas Instruments, Incorporated, Dallas, Texas (50 FR 34667, August 27,
1985); Tricil, Nashville, Tennessee (51 FR 41494, November 17, 1986);
Tricil, Hilliard, Ohio (51 FR 41494, November 17, 1986); Tricil,
Muskegon, Michigan (51 FR 41494, November 17, 1986); William Bonnell
Company, Carthage, Tennessee (51 FR 37019, October 17, 1986).
On May 17, 1993, the Agency was notified that ownership of the
General Cable Company, Muncie, Indiana, had been transferred to Indiana
Steel & Wire Corporation (IS&W). In this notification, IS&W noted that
no changes had been made in the management of EPA Hazardous Wastes Nos.
F006 and K062 excluded by the Agency and that all conditions of the
exclusion continue to be met. Today's notice documents this change by
updating appendix IX to incorporate this change in name.
EPA is also deleting seven exclusions from appendix IX because
these facilities have notified EPA that they have permanently changed
their processes or otherwise ceased operations that generate the
excluded waste. The specific facilities, and the date on which
generation of the excluded waste ceased, are given below. Envirite
Corporation, Thomaston, Connecticut, May 31, 1990; Pamcor C.
Incorporated, Las Piedras, Puerto Rico, October 1, 1992; Texas
Instruments, Incorporated, Dallas, Texas, December 22, 1988; Tricil,
Nashville, Tennessee, January 1, 1990; Tricil, Hilliard, Ohio, June 30,
1991; Tricil, Muskegon, Michigan, September 1, 1992; William Bonnell
Company, Carthage, Tennessee, August 7, 1991. All of the above
generators have confirmed in writing that they no longer generate the
delisted waste at their facilities. On October 15, 1993, the Agency
notified these facilities of the proposed action and solicited their
comments. No comments were received disputing the Agency's intended
action. Therefore, this notice documents this by deleting these
exclusions from part 261, appendix IX. These facilities would need to
submit new delisting petitions if they wish to generate excluded waste
at any time in the future.
These changes to appendix IX of part 261 are effective February 8,
1994. The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 amended section
3010 of RCRA to allow rules to become effective in less than six-months
when the regulated community does not need the six-month period to come
into compliance. As described above, all affected facilities have
ceased generation of the delisted waste. Therefore, a six-month delay
in the effective date is not necessary in this case. This provides a
basis for making these amendments effective immediately upon
publication under the Administrative Procedures Act, pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 5531(d).
