<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The North American Hazardous Materials Management Association (NAHMMA) annual National Conference and training event is planned for September 14-17 , 2015 in Austin, Texas. This event will be attended by a couple
hundred professionals who work in the Household Hazardous Waste and Conditionally-exempt Small Quantity Generator’s (CESQG) fields. Many of these individuals, like myself, are or have been working on pharmaceutical waste issues for years. It would be a shame
if someone from EPA was not able to address this audience with news about the pending rule and the potential outcomes.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">EPA’s proposed rule on pharmaceutical waste is expected to be published soon and the comment period will begin afterwards. EPA is looking for large speaking engagements (e.g. national or regional conferences) this fall so that we can reach
out to the public and stakeholders about the proposed rule and answer any questions. Please let me know if you have any suggestions.<o:p></o:p></p>
