RCRA REVISION CHECKLIST 142 A 

Universal Waste:  General Provisions
60 FR 25492-25551
May 11, 1995
(RCRA Cluster V, non-HSWA provisions)

1	abNote: )  This checklist, which addresses the universal waste general provisions, is one of five revision checklists developed for the Universal Waste Rule.   To be authorized for this checklist, the State must also be authorized for at least one of the following universal waste checklists:  Revision Checklists 142B, 142C, and 142D, and 142E.

2	ab) Note that the wording of several paragraphs addressed by this checklist needs to be revised to reflect the universal waste(s) the State adopts.  Examples of such paragraphs include 273.32(a)(1), 273.32(b)(4)&(5), 273.6 definition of "Small Quantity Generator," and 273.39(a)(2).  For example, 273.39(a)(2) lists batteries, pesticides and thermostats as examples.  A State should include as examples only those universal wastes it adopts.

3	ab) Certain provisions, such as the 260.10 definition of universal wastes, 261.9, 264.1(g)(11), 265.1(c)(14), 268.1(f), 270.1(c)(2)(viii), and 273.1(a), address certain requirements after which the universal wastes to which the requirements apply are listed.  Only the requirements are included in this current checklist because it addresses the general provisions for universal wastes.  The universal waste listings are included in the specific universal waste checklist, Revision Checklist 142B, C or D, as appropriate.  For example, for the 264.1(g)(11) provision, this checklist contains the 264.1(g)(11) introductory provisions because they apply to all of the universals listed.  264.1(g)(11)(i), which addresses batteries, is included in Revision Checklist 142B because that checklist contains all of the provisions addressing batteries.  Similarly, 264.1(g)(11)(ii) and 264.1(g)(11)(iii) are included in Revision Checklists 142C and 142D, respectively.  Thus, a State must be sure that the requirements at provisions such as 261.9, 264.1(g)(11), and 265.1(c)(14), appropriately reflect the universal wastes the State is adopting.

4	ab)  When a State adopts the 273.20(b)&(c) and 273.56 provisions, it should be sure to not replace "EPA" in "EPA Acknowledgement of Consent".  This document is an export paper and can be prepared only by EPA.  For further guidance regarding exports, see Revision Checklist 31.

5	ab) Note that Public Law 104-142, at §104, subjects the collection, storage, or transportation of used rechargeable batteries and other covered batteries to applicable provisions of the Universal Waste Rule upon the enactment of the Law (May 13, 1996).  States wishing to regulate used rechargeable batteries and other covered batteries must adopt standards identical to the applicable standards in the Universal Waste Rule.  Note that the above types of batteries are regulated by the Universal Waste Rule.  The provisions of the Universal Waste Rule that apply to these batteries  are the general provisions addressed by Revision Checklist 142A as well as the specific provisions addressed by Revision Checklist 142B.
