AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; data availability.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of additional data that 
are being considered by the EPA in revising the air emission standards 
for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDF) 
that were published December 6, 1994 under the authority of the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended (59 FR 
62896). The additional data are available for public inspection at the 
EPA RCRA Docket Office.

DATES: Comments on these additional data will be accepted through 
October 13, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Docket. The additional data are available for public 
inspection and copying in the EPA RCRA Docket Office (5305), Room 2616, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, S.W., Washington, 
D.C. 20460. A reasonable fee may be charged for copying. Docket hours 
are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday excluding Federal holidays. 
Other RCRA docket numbers that pertain to the final rule are F-91-CESP-

    Comments. Written comments regarding these data may be mailed to

action contact the RCRA Hotline at (703) 412-9877 or toll-free at 1-

telefax (919) 541-3470.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 6, 1994, the EPA published in 
the Federal Register (59 FR 62896) under authority of the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, standards requiring 
the use of air emission controls on certain tanks, surface 
impoundments, and containers at hazardous waste treatment, storage, and 
disposal facilities (TSDF). These standards are codified in 40 CFR 
parts 264 and 265 under subpart CC (referred to as the ``subpart CC 
standards'').
    Since publication of these final standards, the EPA has been 
involved in a review of its standards to identify areas in which 
regulatory measures can be made less burdensome without compromising 
environmental benefits. For the subpart CC standards, this effort has 
identified certain requirements of the final standards for which less 
extensive regulatory requirements may suffice. The EPA is considering 
revising the published standards to reflect the requirements described 
in the additional data. The sections of the published rule that are 
addressed by these additional data are: applicability, waste 
determination procedures, standards for tanks, standards for surface 
impoundments, standards for containers, inspection and monitoring 
requirements, recordkeeping requirements, and reporting requirements.
    The EPA will consider these new data in the regulatory decision-
making process for this regulation. Therefore, the new data are being 
placed into the RCRA docket for public inspection and review. To 
clearly distinguish these new data, they have been placed under a new 
docket number: F-95-CE3A-FFFFF. The EPA will consider all comments on 
the new data received by the close of the comment period when making a 
final regulatory determination on the regulatory requirements for this 
regulation.
    These items are not the exclusive list of the provisions which the 
EPA is considering revising. The EPA is planning to publish a technical 
correction notice to the rule within the next two months, and may also 
propose additional changes to the rule in the near future.
