Extension of Comment Period for Proposed Rule; Hazardous Waste 
Management System; Carbamate Production Identification and Listing of 
Hazardous Waste; and CERCLA Hazardous Substance Designation and 
Reportable Quantities

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; extension of comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is extending 
the comment period for a proposed rule published on March 1, 1994 [59 
FR 9808] which proposed to amend the regulations for hazardous waste 
management under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) by 
proposing to list as hazardous certain wastes from the production of 
carbamate chemicals. The original deadline for comments is being 
extended, and comments must now be submitted by May 16, 1994. The 
Agency recognizes that the docket for this proposed listing contains 
many technical documents. In addition, several members of the public 
have specifically requested additional time to submit comments to 
properly address areas of concern. In light of these circumstances, the 
Agency is extending the comment period on the proposed rule by two 
weeks. Because the Agency has committed to make its final listing 
determination for the wastes proposed in the notice of March 1, 1994 on 
or before January 31, 1995, this two week extension is the maximum that 
the Agency can reasonably grant.

DATES: Comments for this proposed rule should be submitted in writing 
to the address shown below on or before May 16, 1994 to be considered 
in the formulation of the final rule.

Docket Number F-94-CPLP-FFFFF and is located at the following address:

Agency, 401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460.
