ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 262 

[EPA–HQ–RCRA–2003–0012; FRL–9240–6] 

Technical Corrections to the Standards 

Applicable to Generators of Hazardous 

Waste; Alternative Requirements for 

Hazardous Waste Determination and 

Accumulation of Unwanted Material at 

Laboratories Owned by Colleges and 

Universities and Other Eligible 

Academic Entities Formally Affiliated 

With Colleges and Universities 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing six 

technical corrections to an alternative 

set of hazardous waste generator 

requirements known as the ‘‘Academic 

Laboratories rule’’ or ‘‘Subpart K’’ which 

is applicable to laboratories owned by 

eligible academic entities. These 

changes correct errors published in the 

Academic Laboratories Final rule, 

including omissions and redundancies, 

as well as remove an obsolete reference 

to the Performance Track program 

which has been terminated. These 

technical corrections will improve the 

clarity of the Academic Laboratories 

rule. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received by January 19, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

RCRA–2003–0012 by one of the 

following methods: 

• http://www.regulations.gov: Follow 

the on-line instructions for submitting 

comments. 

• E-mail: rcra-docket@epa.gov.

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–2003–0012. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The 

http://www.regulations.gov Web site is 

an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. For additional information 

about EPA’s public docket, visit the EPA

not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

will be publicly available only in hard 

copy. Publicly available docket 

materials are available either 

electronically in http:// 

www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Why is EPA issuing this proposed 

rule? 

EPA is proposing six technical 

corrections that clarify the Academic 

Laboratories rule. In the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of today’s Federal 

Register, EPA is making these technical 

corrections as a Direct Final rule 

without a prior Proposed rule because 

we view this as a noncontroversial 

action and anticipate no adverse 

comment. We have explained our 

reasons for this action in the preamble 

to the Direct Final rule. If we receive no 

adverse comment on any of the 

individual changes we are promulgating 

today, we will not take further action on 

this Proposed rule. If, however, we 

receive such comment, we will publish 

a timely withdrawal in the Federal 

Register to notify the public that those 

technical corrections of the Direct Final 

rule for which the Agency received 

adverse comment will not take effect, 

and the reason for such withdrawal. We 

do not intend to institute a second 

comment period on this action. Any 

parties interested in commenting must 

do so at this time. For further 

information, please see the information 

provided in the ADDRESSES section of 

this document.

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

For a complete discussion of all the 

administrative requirements applicable 

to this action, see the Direct Final rule 

in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of 

this Federal Register. 

A. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

generally requires an agency to prepare 

a regulatory flexibility analysis of any 

rule subject to the notice and comment 

rulemaking requirements under the 

Administrative Procedure Act or any 

other statute unless the agency certifies 

that the rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Small entities 

include small businesses, small 

organizations, and small governmental 

jurisdictions. 

For purposes of assessing the impacts 

of today’s proposed rule on small 

entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A 

small business as defined by the Small 

Business Administrations’ regulations at 

13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small 

governmental jurisdiction that is a 

government of a city, county, town, 

school district or special district with a 

population of less than 50,000; and (3) 

a small organization that is any not-forprofit enterprise which is independently 

owned and operated and is not 

dominant in its field. 

After considering the economic 

impact of today’s Proposed Rule on 

small entities, I certify that this action 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. This action does not create any 

new regulatory requirements, but rather 

makes technical corrections to subpart K 

of the hazardous waste generator 

regulations. Although this Proposed rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities, EPA nonetheless has tried to 

reduce the impact of this Proposed rule 

on small entities.
