ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 261

[FRL-3907-6]

Hazardous Waste Management System; Removal of Strontium Sulfide From the List of Hazardous Waste

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Technical amendment.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is today correcting an amendment to regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to remove strontium sulfide (CAS No. 1314-96-1) from 40 CFR 261.33, the list of commercial chemical products which are hazardous wastes when discarded or intended to be discarded; and to remove strontium sulfide from Appendix VIII of Part 261, the list of RCRA hazardous constituents. EPA took regulatory action to remove this chemical on October 31, 1988 (53 FR 43881), but the amendatory instruction to the Federal Register was incorrect and, as a result, this chemical was not removed from § 261.33 or part 261 appendix VIII in the Code of Federal Regulations. The Agency seeks to correct this error in today's document.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The regulations became effective on October 31, 1988. This document does not affect the effective date of the waste code removal.

ADDRESSES: The Office of Solid Waste (OSW) RCRA docket is located in Room M2427 at Waterside Mall, 401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460, and is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. The public must make an appointment to review docket materials by calling (202) 475-9327. Refer to "Docket number F-83-SSPA-FFFFF" when making appointments to review any background documents to the October 31, 1988 rulemaking. The public may copy a maximum of 50 pages of material from any one regulatory docket at no cost; additional copies cost $.020 per page.
