Genetron 11 (U121), Genetron 12 

(U075), carbon tetrachloride (U211), and 

1,1,1-trichloroethana (U226). Two 

wastes, carbon tetrachloride (D019), and 

chloroform (D022), are currently not 

restricted. Although USEPA originally 

proposed to finalize the exemption of 

these wastes without reproposal, it has 

reconsidered its position and 

determined that such a decision must be 

made in view of the most recent factual 

and technical data. Accordingly, if 

Allied wishes to include these two 

wastes in its exemption, they will need 

to submit a new request for modification 

of the exemption when a ban date for 

these two wastes is proposed. The 

public will be offered an opportunity to 

submit comments thereon. With respect 

to the currently banned wastes, after a 

comprehensive review of all material 

submitted, the USEPA has determined, 

as required by 40 CFR part 148, that 

there is a reasonable degree of certainty 

that Allied's injected wastes will not 

migrate out of tiie injection zone within 

the next 10,000 years. The injection 

zone at this site is the Eminence/Potosi 

Formation, and the immediate confining 

zone is the Prairie du Chien Group, at 

a depth of 2620 to 3332 feet below 

ground level. The confining zone is 

separated from the lowermost source of 

underground drinking water, located at 

a depth of 1700 feet, by sequences of 

permeable and less permeable 

sedimentary rocks which provide 

additional protection from fluid 

migration into underground sources of 

drinking water. A fact sheet containing 

a complete summary of the decision 

now being finalized was published in 

the Federal Register on September 1, 

1992, at 57 FR 40028. 

A public notice of the proposed 

decision was issued on September 2, 

1992, pursuant to 40 CFR 124.10, and a 

public hearing was subsequently held in 

Danville on September 30,1992. The 

public comment period expired on 

October 16,1992. A number of 

comments were received and all 

comments have been considered in 

making the final decision. A 

responsiveness summary has been 

mailed to all commentors and included 

as part of the Administrative Record 

relating to this decision. 

Conditions 

General conditions of this exemption 

are found at 40 CFR part 148. In 

addition, as a condition of granting this 

exemption to the ban on injection of 

certain hazardous wastes, the USEPA 

requires that the following conditions be 

met: 

1. Allied must remain in compliance 

with all conditions in both the Federal 

and State Underground Injection 

Control permits. 

2. Allied must limit the concentration 

of carbon tetrachloride in the 

wastestream to 50 mg/l. 

DATES: This action is effective as of 

January 26,1993.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. (EPA). 

ACTIOM: Notice of public meeting 

(workshop). 

SUMMARY: The EPA is considering ways 

to simplify the new source review (NSR) 

process. The EPA conducted a public 

workshop on August 12-13,1992, in 

Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to facilitate 

identifying potential methods for 

simplifying the NSR process. Workshop 

participants identified issues and 

provided comments on proposed 

options for simplifying the NSR process. 

A summary of that workshop is 

included in docket A-90-37 for the NSR 

rulemaking. 

The EPA is announcing today a 

second workshop on NSR 

simplification. The primary purpose of 

this second workshop is to explore in 

greater detail a number of the specific 

issues and recommendations identified 

on a conceptual basis at the August 

1992 workshop. Agenda items to be 

covered at the workshop include: An indepth discussion of the plantwide 

emissions limit concept for NSR 

applicability, the definition and 

treatment of environmentally-beneficial 

projects for NSR purposes, and a 

consideration of other forums (e.g., 

regulatory negotiation) for addressing 

improvements to the NSR program. 

Other issues may be addressed as well. 

In a memorandum dated January 19, 

1993, former EPA Administrator 

William K. Reilly decided to retain, for 

the present time, the Agency's so-called 

"top-down" policy for determining best 

available control technology (BACT) 

under the Clean Air Act's prevention of 

significant deterioration (PSD) program. 

In addition, he recommended that the 

Agency consider improvements in the 

BACT process as one element of the 

overall effort to simplify NSR. As a 

result of that recommendation, options 

for improving the PSD program 

requirement for BACT will also ba 

discussed. 

. Approximately forty selected 

representatives from industry, 

environmental organizations, other 

Federal agencies, EPA Regions, end 

State/local air pollution control 

agencies, who are knowledgeable on the 

NSR rules, will ba invited to serve as 

principle spokespersons to discuss 

various NSR topics. Members of the 

general public will also be given an 

opportunity to provide their comments. 

The workshop is not subject to the 

provisions of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, as 

amended. 

DATES: The workshop will convene on 

March 17,1993, from 8 a.m. until 5 

p.m.; and March 18,1993, from 8 a.m. 

until 3 p.m. Written comments may be
