SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

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.
