2050-AH27 202410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2050 Office of Land and Emergency Management OLEM 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Definition of Hazardous Waste Applicable to Corrective Action for Releases From Solid Waste Management Units

On February 8, 2024, (89 FR 8598) EPA issued a proposed rule that would modify the regulations at 40 CFR part 260, 261 and 270 to clarify that the definition of hazardous waste found in RCRA section 1004(5) is applicable to corrective action for releases from solid waste management units. The proposed rule would more clearly implement EPA's longstanding interpretation of its authority under RCRA section 3004(u) and (v). After considering public comments submitted on the proposed rulemaking, EPA plans to take final action.
