Extension of Comment Period for the Proposed Identification and 
Listing of Hazardous Waste/Dye and Pigment Industries

agency: Environmental Protection Agency.

action: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

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

summary: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is 
extending the comment period for the proposed listing determination on 
a number of wastes generated during the production of dyes and 
pigments, which appeared in the Federal Register on December 22, 1994 
(see 59 FR 66072-114). The public comment period for this proposed rule 
was to end on March 22, 1995. The purpose of this notice is to extend 
the comment period an additional 120 days beyond that, to end on July 
19, 1995. This extension of the comment period is provided to allow 
commenters an opportunity to comment further on the proposal.

dates: EPA will accept public comments on this proposed listing 
determination until July 19, 1995. Comments postmarked listing 
determination until July 19, 1995. Comments postmarked after the close 
of the comment period will be stamped ``late.''

addresses: The public must send an original and two copies of their 
comments to EPA RCRA Docket Number F-94-DPLP-FFFFF, 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. The public may copy material from any regulatory docket at no 
cost for the first 100 pages, and at $0.15 per page for additional 
copies.

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: This proposed rule was issued under Section 
3001(b) of RCRA. EPA proposed to list certain wastes generated during 
the production of dyes and pigments because these wastes may pose a 
substantial present or potential risk to human health or the 
environment when improperly managed. See 59 FR 66072-114 (December 22, 
1994) for a more detailed explanation of the proposed rule.
    These proposed hazardous waste listings were based in part upon 
data claimed as confidential by certain dye and pigment manufacturers. 
Although EPA intends to publish these data or information derived from 
these data claimed as confidential (to the extent relevant to the 
proposed listing), the Agency is unable to do so at the present time. 
EPA is pursuing avenues to allow publication of the information, and 
intends to supplement the public record prior to issuance of a final 
listing. EPA is extending the comment period to provide sufficient time 
for the public to comment if and when additional data are published.

    Dated: February 27, 1995.
Elizabeth A. Cotsworth,
Acting Director, Office of Solid Waste.
