ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 261

[SW-FRL-5690-6]


Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of 
Hazardous Waste; Amendment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule; amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is 
amending 40 CFR part 261, appendix IX to reflect changes in ownership 
and name for United Technologies Automotive, Inc., Jeffersonville, 
Indiana. Today's amendment documents these changes.

EFFECTIVE DATE: February 20, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: RCRA Hotline, toll free at (800) 424-
9346 or at (703) 412-9810. For technical information contact Ms. Judy 
Kleiman, Waste Management Branch (DRP-8J), Waste, Pesticides and Toxics 
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 77 W. Jackson Blvd, 
Chicago, IL 60604, (312) 886-1482.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In this document EPA is amending appendix IX 
to part 261 to reflect changes in the ownership and name for United 
Technologies Automotive. The petition process under Secs. 260.20 and 
260.22 allows facilities to demonstrate that a specific waste from a 
particular generating facility should not be regulated as a hazardous 
waste. Based on waste specific information provided by the petitioner, 
EPA granted an exclusion to United Technologies Automotive on April 29, 
1986, for F019 wastes at its Jeffersonville, Indiana, facility (51 FR 
15888). On November 20, 1995, Region 5 received notice that ownership 
of the United Technologies Automotive facility in Jeffersonville, 
Indiana, was transferred to Profile Extrusion Company. On November 14, 
1996, Region 5 received notice that ownership of Profile Extrusion 
Company was transferred to Alumnitec, Inc.
    In this notification Alumnitec noted that no changes had been made 
in the management of the F019 waste excluded by the Agency, and that 
all conditions of the exclusion will continue to be met. Today's notice 
documents this change by updating Appendix IX to incorporate this 
change in name.
    This change to 40 CFR Part 261, Appendix IX will be effective 
February 20, 1997. The Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 
amended section 3010 of RCRA to allow rules to become effective in less 
than six months when the regulated community does not need the six-
month period to come into compliance. As described above, Alumnitec 
will continue to meet all conditions of United Technologies 
Automotive's exclusion. Therefore, a six-month delay in the effective 
date is not necessary in this case. This provides a basis for making 
this amendment effective immediately upon publication under the 
Administrative Procedures Act, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 5531(d).
