Postponement of Public Hearing on the Proposed Identification and 
Listing of Hazardous Waste/Dye and Pigment Industries

agency: Environmental Protection Agency.

action: Notice of postponement of public hearing.

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

summary: On December 22, 1994 (see 59 FR 66072-114), the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) proposed to list as 
hazardous five wastes generated during the production of dyes and 
pigments, proposed not to list six other wastes from these industries, 
and proposed to defer action on three wastes due to insufficient 
information. At the request of the parties originally seeking a public 
hearing concerning this proposal, the Agency is announcing the 
postponement of the public hearing, previously scheduled to be held on 
March 15, 1995, in Washington, DC.

dates: The public hearing has not been rescheduled.

addresses: The RCRA regulatory docket that contains the record for this 
proposed listing determination on wastes from the production of dyes 
and pigments is located at Room 2616, U.S. EPA, 401 M Street SW., 
Washington, DC. the docket is open from 9 am to 4 pm, Monday through 
Friday, excluding Federal holidays. The public must make an appointment 
to review docket materials by calling (202) 260-9327.

for further information contact: For technical information concerning 
this notice, please contact Wanda Levine, Office of Solid Waste (5304), 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street SW., Washington, DC 
20460, (202) 260-7458.

supplementary information: Since publication of this proposed rule, the 
Agency had received requests for a public hearing from the trade 
association representing the pigments industry, the Color Pigments 
Manufacturers Association (CPMA); and the trade association 
representing the dyes industry, the Ecological and Toxicological 
Association of Dyes and Organic Pigments Manufacturers (ETAD). After 
the announcement of the public hearing in the Wednesday, February 8, 
1995 Federal Register (see 60 FR 7513-4), both associations requested 
that it be postponed pending resolution of several outstanding issues. 
In response to these requests, EPA has decided to postpone the public 
hearing. EPA may reschedule the public hearing in the future, and will 
provide further notice at that time.

    Dated: March 1, 1995.
Michael H. Shapiro, Director,
Office of Solid Waste.
