        <RULE_TITLE>Identifying the Universe of Government Research in Laboratories and Determining Student Involvement in Generating Laboratory Hazardous Waste</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The Academic Laboratory Rulemaking was published on December 1, 2008. At the time of the rulemaking, the Agency did not have sufficient information about student populations in government research laboratories to include government research laboratories in the applicability of the final Laboratories Rule. Therefore, the Agency had planned to publish a Notice of Data Availability making available the data we have on government research laboratories and solicit comment on whether it is accurate, as well as solicit comment on the number of students in government research laboratories. Thus far, approximately a dozen states have adopted the Academic Laboratories Rule, with many more states still in the process of adopting it. The Agency believes better information on whether to pursue a NODA would be available once implementation of the new rule has been in effect for a period of time. Therefore, the Agency is withdrawing this effort until such time as a better determination may be made.]]></ABSTRACT>
