Hazardous Waste Management System; Modification of the Hazardous 
Waste Program; Mercury-Containing Lamps

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: In response to several requests, the Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) is granting a 60-day extension to the comment period for 
the proposed rule entitled Hazardous Waste Management System; 
Modification of the Hazardous Waste Program; Mercury-Containing Lamps, 
which was published on July 27, 1994 (59 FR 38288).

DATES: Comments on the July 27, 1994 notice of proposed rulemaking (59 
FR 38288) must be submitted on or before November 25, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Persons who wish to comment on the July 27, 1994, notice 
must provide an original and two copies of their comments, include the 
docket number (F-94-FLEP-FFFFF), and send them to: EPA RCRA Docket 
(5305), U.S. EPA, 401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460. The RCRA 
Docket is located at Room M2616, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 20460. The docket is open from 9:00 
a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays. 
To review docket materials, the public must make an appointment by 
calling (202) 260-9327. The public may copy a maximum of 100 pages from 
any regulatory docket at no cost. Additional copies cost $0.15 per

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information concerning the 
proposed rule or this extension, contact the RCRA Hotline toll free at 
(800) 424-9346. In the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, call (703) 
412-9810. For information regarding specific aspects of this notice, 
contact Kristina Meson, Office of Solid Waste (5304), U.S. EPA, 401 M 
Street SW., Washington, DC 20460, telephone (202) 260-5736.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Several parties have requested that EPA 
extend the comment period for the July 27, 1994 mercury-containing 
lamps proposal (59 FR 38288). Because EPA believes that the mercury-
containing lamps issue is very complex and that the quality of a final 
rule may be greatly improved if all interested parties are able to 
fully explore the many issues raised in the proposal prior to 
submitting comments, the Agency has determined that an extension of 60 
days is appropriate.

    Dated: September 12, 1994.

Assistant Administrator.
