Public Hearing on the Proposed Identification and Listing of 
Hazardous Waste/Dye and Pigment Industries

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of public hearing.

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

SUMMARY: On December 22, 1994 (see 59 FR 66072-114), the U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) proposed to list as 
hazardous five wastes generated during the production of dyes and 
pigments, proposed not to list six other wastes from these industries, 
and proposed to defer action on three wastes due to insufficient 
information. The public comment period for this proposed rule will end 
on March 22, 1995. The purpose of this notice is to announce the 
scheduling of a public hearing on this proposed rule in accordance with 
Section 3001(b) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 
42 USC 6921(a), and EPA's regulations at 40 CFR 25.5. The public 
hearing will be held on March 15, 1995, in Washington, DC. The purpose 
of the hearing is to give members of the regulated community and other 
interested parties opportunity to comment further on the proposal. All 
comments received at the hearing will be entered into the public record 
for this proposed rule.

[[Page 7514]] DATES: The public hearing has been scheduled for 
Wednesday, March 15, 1995, at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Requests to make oral statements must be received by March 1, 1995. 
Written and oral comments intended for the public hearing on the 
proposed rule will be accepted by the Hearing Officer only at the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposed rule was issued under Section 
3001(b) of RCRA. EPA proposed to list certain wastes generated during 
the production of dyes and pigments because these wastes may pose a 
substantial present or potential risk to human health or the 
environment when improperly managed. See 59 FR 66072-114 (December 22, 
1994) for a more detailed explanation of the proposed rule.
    Since publication of this proposed rule, the Agency has received a 
request for a public hearing from the trade association representing 
the pigments industry, the Color Pigments Manufacturers Association. 
Since this public hearing will occur during the comment period, there 
is no extension granted to the existing comment period, which ends on 
March 22, 1995.

    Dated: February 2, 1995.
Michael H. Shapiro,
Director, Office of Solid Waste.
