Title: Listing Determination of Wastes Generated During the Manufacture of Azo, Anthraquinone, and Triarylmethane Dyes and Pigments 
Abstract: This action addresses the potential human health and environmental risks posed by wastes from the manufacture of dyes and pigments, and determines whether these wastes should be listed as hazardous wastes under RCRA to control any potentially unacceptable risks. If listed under RCRA, these wastes would also be added to the CERCLA list of hazardous substances. This action will be implemented by EPA and States authorized under RCRA. There may be some small business impacts. EPA proposed listing decisions for most wastes in 1994 (Dyes-I), and deferred decisions on several others. Two deferred waste streams (filter aids and triarylmethane sludges) are subject to separate deadlines for proposed and final action (Dyes II rulemaking). The Dyes II NPRM was published on July 23, 1999. The rules proposed in 1994 and 1999 were incomplete because they did not contain information claimed to be confidential by industry. Therefore, a NODA for each proposal will be necessary, when EPA is able to release an adequate record. The deadlines are based on recent settlement discussions with plaintiffs in EDF v. Browner, Civil Action No. 89-0598 D.D.C. As part of the listing of dyes and pigments effort, EPA will also develop land disposal restrictions for these dyes and pigments.
