Summary:  The rule provides as an alternative standard the use of the best demonstrated available technologies (BDAT) for treating hazardous wastes from the production of carbamates and carbamate commercial chemical products, off-specification or manufacturing chemical intermediates and container residues that become hazardous wastes when they are discarded or intended to be discarded.  In addition, this action removes carbamate Regulated Constituents from the table of Universal Treatment Standards.

State Authorization:  This rule is placed in RCRA Cluster XXI.  The state modification deadline is July 1, 2012 (or July 1, 2013 if a state statutory change is necessary).   

This rule is promulgated pursuant to HSWA authority and is considered to be neither more nor less stringent than the current federal requirements.  Therefore, states will not be required to adopt and seek authorization for this rule. 

Attorney General (AG) Certification Guidance:  Specific AG certification of statutory authority may not be required for this checklist as long as the AG has previously demonstrated authority for the land disposal restrictions.

Program Description (PD) Guidance:  A state seeking authorization for this checklist should determine whether the revisions impact the program described in the Program Description. 

Incorporation by Reference Guidance:  There is no special guidance for states that incorporate by reference.
