In response to public comments submitted in connection with EPA's periodic retrospective review of regulations under Executive Order 13563 and following substantial dialogue with representatives of the Retail Sector, EPA is exploring ways to clarify and make the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste regulations more effective for managing waste generated in the retail sector. EPA has stated its intent to analyze relevant information to determine what the retail RCRA issues of concern are and what options may exist for addressing the issues. As such, EPA issued a Notice of Data Availability (NODA) that: 1) presented data and information the EPA had gathered from stakeholders and other sources; 2) requested additional relevant data and information from the public; and 3) requested comment on issues of concern for managing waste generated in the retail sector and options for addressing the issues. EPA will use this information to evaluate possible next steps.
