Recordkeeping Instructions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Technical amendment.

SUMMARY: EPA is amending recordkeeping instructions in order to match those unit of measurement codes and handling codes used by hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities to report to EPA on the Part A Permit Application Form with the codes used to maintain records on-site by these facilities. This technical amendment also adds additional handling codes to allow for the proper recording of those processes relating to Boilers and Industrial Furnaces and Miscellaneous Units (subpart X) facilities. This amendment will encourage the consistent recordkeeping and reporting of information by hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 24, 1994.

ADDRESSES: All comments concerning this technical amendment should be addressed to Jeffrey Gaines, Assistance Branch, Permits and State Program Division (5303W), Office of Solid Waste, U.S. EPA, 401 M Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Liza Hearns, (202) 260-3393.
