Superfund (CERCLA)
  


  


4291. RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR CHEMICAL ACCIDENTAL RELEASE PREVENTION
Regulatory Plan:  This entry is Seq. No. 159 in Part II of this issue 
of the Federal Register.
RIN: 2050-AD26



4292. DELETION OF SACCHARIN FROM THE LIST OF HAZARDOUS WASTES UNDER RCRA 
AND THE LIST OF HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES UNDER CERCLA
Legal Authority:  42 USC 6905; 42 USC 6912(a); 42 USC 6921/RCRA 3001; 
42 USC 6938; 42 USC 9602
CFR Citation:  40 CFR 261.33(f); 40 CFR 261; 40 CFR 302.4
Legal Deadline: None
Abstract: This proposed rule would remove saccharin from the list of 
hazardous wastes under Section 3001 of the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA) and from the list of hazardous substances under 
Section 102 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
and Liability Act (CERCLA). This regulatory action is in response to a 
petition to remove saccharin from regulation under RCRA and CERCLA. The 
petition is based on recent studies that dispute previous scientific 
findings that saccharin is a possible human carcinogen. It is 
anticipated that the proposed action would result in annual new cost 
savings to both government and the regulated community because 
saccharin would no longer be subject to regulation under RCRA and 
CERCLA.
