                           INTRODUCTION


     This document provides EPA's responses to comments 
received  on the Criteria for Classification of Solid Waste 
Disposal  Facilities and Practices; Identification and 
Listing of Hazardous Waste; Requirements for Authorization
of State Hazardous Waste Programs Proposed Rule (60 FR 
30964-30992, June 12, 1995).  The public comments are 
available in the docket for the proposed rule (docket number 
F-95-NCEP FFFFF).

     The proposed rule contained changes and additions to 
the existing Criteria for solid waste disposal facilities 
and practices.  The proposal established specific standards 
for non-municipal solid waste disposal facilities that 
receive conditionally exempt small quantity generator 
(CESQG) wastes.  The rule also proposed revisions to 
regulations for hazardous waste generated by CESQG's.  The 
proposal clarified acceptable disposal options under 
Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 
(RCRA) by specifying that CESQG hazardous waste may be 
managed at municipal landfills subject to Part 258 and at 
non-municipal solid waste facilities subject to the facility 
standards in the proposed rule.

     Appendix I provides an alphabetical listing of the 
commenters on the proposed rule.
