ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 264 and 265
[FRL-4852-9]
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.
Supplementary Information: For several years, the disposal process
codes listed in Appendix I of 40 CFR parts 264 and 265 have been
different from those listed on the Part A Permit Application form. In
consultation with State, Regional and Headquarters personnel, it was
determined that changing the CFR to match the forms was the appropriate
step to take. Therefore, the Office of Solid Waste has prepared this
technical amendment to appendix I of 40 CFR parts 264 and 265 to modify
those process codes (also referred to as handling codes) listed in the
CFR so that they match those codes used on the Part A Permit
Application form.
