SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed rule was issued under Section

the use of certain chemicals as solvents because current management of 
these wastes is sufficient to prevent a substantial present or 
potential risk to human health or the environment. See 61 FR 42318 
(August 14, 1996) for a more detailed explanation of the proposed rule.
    The comment period for this proposed rule was scheduled to end on

extend the comment period by 30 days. EPA is extending the comment 
period until November 14, 1996.
