        <RULE_TITLE>Expanding the Comparable Fuels Exclusion Under RCRA</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[EPA has proposed to expand the comparable fuel exclusion under the rules implementing subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) for fuels that are produced from hazardous waste but which generate emissions that are comparable to emissions from burning fuel oil when such fuels are burned in an industrial boiler. Such excluded fuel would be called emission-comparable fuel (ECF). ECF would be subject to the same specifications that currently apply to comparable fuels, except that the specifications for certain hydrocarbons and oxygenates would not apply. The ECF exclusion would be conditioned on requirements including: (1) Design and operating conditions for the ECF boiler to ensure that the ECF is burned under the good combustion conditions typical for oil-fired industrial boilers; and (2) conditions for tanks storing ECF for which conditions are typical of those for storage of commercial fuels, and are tailored for the hazards that ECF may pose. Comments were received by September 14, 2007. EPA is currently addressing issues raised by commenters and is developing the final rule.]]></ABSTRACT>
