SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is 
providing notice that it has responded to a petition for 
reconsideration of the final rule, ``Regulation of Oil-Bearing 
Hazardous Secondary Materials from the Petroleum Refining Industry 
Processed in a Gasification System to Produce Synthesis Gas'', 
published at 73 FR 57 (January 2, 2008). The EPA considered the 
petition along with information contained in the rulemaking docket in 
reaching a decision on the petition. EPA Assistant Administrator Susan 
Parker Bodine denied the petition for reconsideration in a letter to 
the petitioners issued in November 2008. The letter explains EPA's 
reasons for the denial. Section 7006(a) of the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA) states, in pertinent part, that judicial review 
of the denial of any petition for the amendment or repeal of any 
regulation under the Act may be filed only in the United States Court 
of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit within 90 days of the 
denial.
