Title: Withdrawal of Expansion of RCRA Comparable Fuels Exclusion 
Abstract: EPA proposed to withdraw the conditional exclusion from regulations promulgated on December 19, 2008, under subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for so-called Emission Comparable Fuel (ECF). These are fuels produced from hazardous secondary materials which, when burned in industrial boilers under specified conditions, generate emissions that are comparable to emissions from burning fuel oil in those boilers. EPA proposed to withdraw this conditional exclusion because ECF appears to be better regarded as being a discarded material and regulated as a hazardous waste. The exclusions for comparable fuel and synthesis gas fuel are not addressed or otherwise affected by this proposed rule. EPA is considering finalizing this rule.
