</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is proposing to revise the hazardous waste generator regulations under the<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) to improve compliance and thereby enhance protection of human health and the environment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Specifically, EPA proposes to revise certain components of the hazardous waste generator regulatory program; address gaps in the regulations; provide<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">greater flexibility for hazardous waste generators to manage their hazardous waste in a cost-effective and protective manner; reorganize the hazardous waste<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">generator regulations to make them more user-friendly and thus improve their usability by the regulated community; and make technical corrections and conforming
changes to address inadvertent errors, remove obsolete references to programs that no longer exist, and improve the readability of the regulations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">These proposed changes are both a result of EPA’s experience in implementing and evaluating the hazardous waste generator program over the last 30 years, as well
as a response to concerns and issues identified by the states and regulated community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
