Definition of Solid Waste Public Meeting; Extension of Comment Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of Public Meeting and Request for Comments; Extension of
comment period.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing an extension to the comment period for the
public meeting notice published in the Federal Register on May 27, 2009
regarding the Agency's recent regulation on the definition of solid
waste under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA). The comment period is being extended 30 days to August 13,
2009. EPA is currently reviewing a petition filed with the
Administrator under RCRA section 7004(a) requesting that the Agency
reconsider and repeal the recently promulgated revisions to the
definition of solid waste for hazardous secondary materials being
reclaimed, and is soliciting comments and information to assist the
agency in evaluating the petition.

DATES: Persons may submit written or electronic comments by August 13,
2009. The administrative record of the meeting will remain open for
submissions until August 13, 2009.

    Instructions: 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 email 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.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the http://
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, such as 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 the OSWER Docket, EPA/
DC, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington DC.
