For your information, here is the actual final rule that excludes shredded circuit boards from RCRA's definition of solid waste.  Alot of the rule is irrelevant to our industry.  As a result, I have deleted that language.

Land Disposal Restrictions--Phase IV: Treatment Standards for 
Wood Preserving Wastes, Paperwork Reduction and Streamlining, 
Exemptions From RCRA for Certain Processed Materials; and Miscellaneous 
Hazardous Waste Provisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, the Agency).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Agency is finalizing treatment standards for hazardous 
wastes generated from wood preserving operations, and is making a 
conforming amendment to the standard for wastes from production of 
chlorinated aliphatics which carry the F024 hazardous waste code. These 
treatment standards will minimize threats to human health and the 
environment posed by these wastes. In addition, this final rule revises 
the land disposal restrictions (LDR) program to significantly reduce 
paperwork requirements by 1.6 million hours. This rule also finalizes 
both the decision to employ polymerization as an alternative method of 
treatment for certain ignitable wastes as well as the decision not to 
ban certain wastes from biological treatment because there is no need 
to classify these wastes as ``nonamenable.'' It also clarifies an 
exception from LDR requirements for de minimis amounts of 
characteristic wastewaters. Finally, this rule excludes processed 
circuit boards and scrap metal from RCRA regulation which is intended 
to promote the goal of safe recycling.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is effective on August 11, 1997 except 
Sec. Sec. 148.18(b) and 268.30(b), which are effective on May 12, 1999.

ADDRESSES: The public docket for this rulemaking is available for 
public inspection at EPA's RCRA Docket, located at Crystal Gateway,

I. Background

    In the 1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments (HSWA) of the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), Congress specified that 
land disposal of hazardous waste is prohibited unless the waste meets 
treatment standards established by EPA. HSWA requires that treatment 
standards must substantially diminish the toxicity or mobility of 
hazardous waste, so that short and long term threats to human health 
and the environment are minimized. The treatment standards are part of 
the Land Disposal Restrictions Program.
    Today's final rule is one part of the collection of land disposal 
restrictions (LDR) rules known as ``Phase IV.'' They are the latest in 
a series of LDR rules that establish treatment standards for newly 
listed and identified wastes, and that resolve other hazardous waste 
matters.
    EPA proposed the Phase IV rule in two proposed rules (60 FR 43654, 
August 22, 1995; and 61 FR 2338, January 25, 1996), and subsequently 
issued a Notice of Data Availability on Phase IV issues (61 FR 21418, 
May 10, 1996). The attached rule finalizes portions of those earlier 
proposals. Other proposed revisions are in a second supplemental 
proposed rule elsewhere in this Federal Register.
    EPA estimates that the directly measurable benefits associated with 
the land disposal restrictions treatment standards in this rule are 
limited relative to the costs that may be incurred. Therefore, the 
relative priority of addressing these risks could be questioned. 
However, we do not believe, for this specific action, that a simple 
cost effectiveness measure alone provides a sufficient basis for 
decision-making. As discussed below, the preference for permanent 
treatment of hazardous wastes is part of the basic policy structure 
which Congress enacted when it amended RCRA in 1984, and reflects 
concern over the technological uncertainties regarding risks and long 
term protectiveness of land disposal and the intent to assure that 
waste management practices are protective for future generations.
    The whole premise of the LDR legislation is that risks posed by 
land disposal of hazardous wastes are inherently uncertain to evaluate 
and that land-based units are incapable of long term containment. Land 
disposal units (such as landfills, surface impoundments, and waste 
piles) are engineered units that can and have failed in the past with 
significant consequences to human health and the environment. For this 
reason, Congress required that hazardous wastes be pretreated before 
disposal by ``treatment [which] should be the best that has been 
demonstrated to be achievable.'' Congressional Record of July 25, 1984 
(S9178). The technology-based approach of the land disposal 
restrictions provides a measure of insurance against the potential for 
failure in these land based units.
    Given these facts, and evident Congressional intent, EPA continues 
to believe that the LDR prohibitions and treatment standards are 
justified in many instances. EPA sets treatment standards that reduce 
toxicity and mobility of hazardous constituents (or require recycling), 
and EPA also requires that the treated wastes be placed in reasonably 
secure land disposal units. However, EPA does believe that, in some 
situations, the current LDR rules may not provide the optimum 
regulatory approach. In those situations, EPA will look to other 
mechanisms to address those relatively low risk scenarios.

VIII. Changes to Definition of Solid Waste to Exclude Processed Scrap 
Metal and Shredded Circuit Boards From RCRA Jurisdiction

    Summary: As proposed on January 25, 1995 (FR 61 2338), EPA is today 
amending the definition of solid waste to exclude from RCRA 
jurisdiction two types of materials: processed scrap metal and 
containerized shredded circuit boards.

A. Processed Scrap Metal

1. Summary of Proposal
    The Agency proposed the exclusion of processed scrap metal and 
shredded circuit boards being recycled from the Definition of Solid 
Waste in the January 25, 1996 proposed Phase IV LDR supplemental 
rulemaking. Currently, scrap metal being reclaimed is a solid waste, 
but completely exempt from RCRA Subtitle C regulations. The proposal 
would have amended the definition of solid waste to exclude processed 
scrap metal and containerized shredded circuit boards that are being 
recycled from RCRA jurisdiction. In the proposal, the Agency did not 
propose to make changes to the current definition of scrap metal: 
``bits and pieces of metal parts (e.g., bars, turnings, rods, sheets, 
wire) or metal pieces that are combined together with bolts and 
soldering (e.g., radiators, scrap automobiles, railroad box cars), 
which when worn or superfluous can be recycled.''
    The proposal defined processed scrap metal as ``scrap metal which 
has been manually or mechanically altered to either separate it into 
distinct materials to enhance economic value or to improve the handling 
of materials. Processed scrap metal includes but is not limited to 
scrap metal which has been bailed, shredded, sheared, melted, 
agglomerated (for fines, drosses and related materials which are not 
scrap metal prior to agglomeration) or separated by metal type.'' The 
Agency believes that processed scrap metal being recycled is distinct 
from other secondary materials defined as wastes when recycled due to 
established markets for the material's utilization, inherent positive 
economic value of the material, the physical form of the material, and 
absence of damage incidents attributable to the material, and is 
therefore sufficiently product-like that maintaining RCRA regulatory 
jurisdiction over this material is not necessary. A summary of the 
proposed exclusion from the definition of solid waste for shredded 
circuit boards being recycled follows the discussion of the exclusion 
from the definition of solid waste for processed scrap metal being 
recycled.
2. Modifications to the Proposal
    The Agency received approximately twenty-five comments concerning 
the proposed scrap metal and shredded circuit board exclusions. The 
comments were generally supportive of the exclusions. A background 
document, the major comments received, and Agency responses on the 
proposed processed scrap metal exclusion can be found in the docket for 
this rulemaking. Comments on the shredded circuit board exclusion can 
also be found in this background document.
    In response to comment on the proposed exclusion to the definition 
of solid waste for processed scrap metal being recycled, the Agency has 
made several modifications to the exclusion in the final rule. First, 
the Agency has expanded the exclusion to cover unprocessed home and 
unprocessed prompt scrap metal being recycled. Home scrap is scrap 
metal generated by steel mills, foundries, and refineries such as 
turnings, cuttings, punchings, and borings. Prompt scrap, also known as 
industrial or new scrap metal, is generated by the metal working/
fabrication industries and includes such scrap metal as turnings, 
cuttings, punchings, and borings. These categories of scrap metal do 
not fit the definition of processed scrap metal found in the proposal 
because they often do not require a processing step before being sent 
for recycling. The Agency evaluated unprocessed home scrap and prompt 
scrap metal and found that these categories of scrap metal are 
substantially similar to processed scrap metal due to established 
markets for the material's utilization, inherent positive economic 
value of the material, the physical form of the material, and absence 
of damage incidents attributable to the material. Based on this 
analysis, the Agency has expanded scope of the exclusion to include 
both unprocessed home and unprocessed prompt scrap metal. In the final 
rule, the term ``excluded scrap metal'' will be used to reflect this 
decision. Commenters also suggested the Agency evaluate obsolete scrap 
metal (scrap which is composed of worn out metal or a metal product 
that has outlived it original use, such as automobile hulks, railroad 
cars, aluminum beverage cans, steel beams from torn down buildings, and 
household appliances) using the same factors. The Agency has not found 
sufficient data to fully evaluate unprocessed obsolete scrap metal. 
Therefore, in today's final rule the Agency is not expanding the scope 
of the exclusion from the definition of solid waste to include obsolete 
scrap metal. Providing an exclusion from the definition of solid waste 
for obsolete scrap metal at this time would be premature and is better 
addressed in the Definition of Solid Waste rulemaking, due to be 
proposed in the near future.
    Second, the Agency clarifies that the exclusion for processed scrap 
metal being recycled applies to scrap metal that has undergone a 
processing step (as defined in the preamble to the proposed rule) 
regardless of who does the processing. In other words, a processing 
step may be performed by the generator, an intermediate scrap handler 
(e.g. broker, scrap processor), or a scrap recycler. Once the scrap 
metal has undergone a processing step, it may qualify for today's 
exclusion.
    Third, the Agency has added chopping, crushing, flattening, cutting 
and sorting, processes typically used in the processing of scrap metal 
for recycling, to the definition of processed scrap metal in today's 
final rule. In today's final rule, the definition of processing reads: 
``manually or physically altered to either separate it into distinct 
materials to enhance economic value or to improve the handling of 
materials. Additionally, to avoid confusion, the definition of 
processed scrap metal has been reworded to clarify the status of 
agglomerated fines, drosses and other related materials. Therefore, in 
today's final rule, the category of processed scrap metal now includes 
but is not limited to scrap metal which has been baled, shredded, 
sheared, chopped, crushed, flattened, cut, melted, or separated by 
metal type (i.e., sorted), and, fines, drosses and related materials 
which have been agglomerated.'' Note that circuit boards that are 
shredded and being sent for recycling are covered under the exclusion 
from the definition of solid waste for shredded circuit boards being 
recycled (261.4(a)(13)) see discussion following) and are not covered 
under the definition of excluded scrap metal.

B. Shredded Circuit Boards

1. The Proposal
    In the proposed rule, EPA proposed to exclude shredded circuit 
boards being reclaimed from the definition of solid waste in order to 
facilitate their recovery. 61 F.R. 2339, 2361. The proposed exclusion 
was conditioned on the storage of the shredded circuit boards in 
containers prior to recovery that would be adequate to prevent a 
release of the boards to the environment. This condition was

[[Page 26012]]

specified as a performance standard rather than a design standard to 
allow the handler maximum flexibility in selecting the method of 
containment. Today, EPA is finalizing this exclusion as proposed with 
an additional limitation that shredded circuit boards excluded from 
RCRA jurisdiction be free of mercury switches, mercury relays, nickel-
cadmium batteries and lithium batteries.
2. Exclusion for Shredded Circuit Boards Conditioned on Containerized 
Storage Prior to Recovery
    EPA explained in the proposal that shredded circuit boards merit 
exclusion from RCRA regulation in order to facilitate their recovery 
when they are properly stored in containers to prevent their release to 
the environment. As presented in the proposal, the necessity for the 
proposed exclusion for shredded circuit boards is that the process of 
shredding the circuit boards causes the boards to lose the scrap metal 
exemption (see 40 CFR Sec. 261.6(a)(3)(ii)) that currently applies to 
used whole circuit boards. This scrap metal exemption allows used whole 
circuit boards being recycled to be shipped in commerce without being 
subject to RCRA regulation including generator manifesting and export 
requirements. The process of shredding the boards produces small fines 
from the whole board which are dispersible and do not meet the RCRA 
regulatory definition of scrap metal. The application of RCRA 
regulatory provisions to shredded boards may present serious 
disincentives to their recovery. As explained in the proposal, 
generator manifesting and export requirements may result in significant 
delays in shipments of shredded boards to recovery operations such as 
smelters. Many intermediate precious metal reclaimers, e.g. shredders, 
operate on a short cash flow and depend on prompt payment for shipments 
of shredded circuit boards in order to pay the generators of the used 
circuit boards for supplying them to the intermediate reclaimers.
    For the following reasons, EPA believes that shredded circuit 
boards destined for reclamation when properly containerized and free of 
mercury switches, mercury relays, nickel-cadmium batteries and lithium 
batteries are an appropriate secondary material to be excluded from 
RCRA regulation. As discussed in the proposal, shredding is beneficial 
to the recovery process. Shredding improves the recovery of the boards 
by improving handling of shredded boards through increasing the bulk 
density of the boards in the container during shipment. Shredding also 
improves the assaying of the shipment for base metal and precious metal 
content by homogenizing the load thus assuring a representative sample 
is taken for the assay. Shredding also destroys proprietary information 
from generators or manufacturers of the boards thus better assuring 
confidentiality to the generator or manufacturer when making a decision 
to recycle. Some generators may be concerned about proprietary 
information contained in used whole circuit boards being transferred to 
competitors once the boards are out of the generator's control.
    Second, shredded boards have qualities which are similar to primary 
materials such as virgin mineral concentrates that are processed and 
refined for base metal and precious metal values. These qualities 
satisfy the criteria EPA considers when evaluating whether a partially-
reclaimed solid waste is commodity-like and is not part of the waste 
management problem and thus is appropriate to exclude from RCRA 
subtitle C jurisdiction through issuance of a variance. EPA believes 
that these criteria are relevant in determining whether a general 
exclusion is justified. See 40 CFR 261.30(c)& 261.31(c). These criteria 
are: (1) The degree of processing the material has undergone and the 
degree of further processing that is required, (2) the value of the 
material after it has been reclaimed, (3) the degree to which the 
reclaimed material is like an analogous raw material, (4) the extent to 
which an end market for the reclaimed material is guaranteed, (5) the 
extent to which a material is managed to minimize loss and (6) other 
relevant factors (such as the presence of cyanide or other foreign 
materials).
    Regarding the first criterion, shredded circuit boards have been 
processed through shredders, hammer mills and similar devices to 
decrease their size. Value is added to the boards, as indicated above, 
because the boards are easier to handle, assay and ship without 
concerns of generator confidentiality that might exist if the boards 
were shipped to the smelters as whole boards. Further processing for 
the shredded boards includes both smelting and refining to extract base 
metals such as copper and precious metals such as gold, silver and 
platinum group metals. And while a substantial amount of further 
processing remains, EPA believes that shredded circuit boards can be 
thought of as secondary feedstocks similar to primary ore concentrates 
that have undergone beneficiation and are destined for primary mineral 
processing and refining.
    Regarding the second criterion of the value of the material after 
it has been reclaimed, shredded circuit boards generally have positive 
economic value (i.e., the smelter pays the shredder for the assayed 
base and precious metal value of the shipment). The typical price range 
for shredded circuit boards is between a negative $0.25 per lb. and $5 
per lb. One recycling company reported an annual average price of 
shredded circuit boards of $1.50 per pound which is greater than the 
current market price for refined copper metal.
    Regarding the third criterion of how the partially reclaimed 
material compares to the analogous raw material, recyclers have 
indicated that shredded circuit boards typically have assays of that 
average 10 percent copper, between one-half and one-third that of 
primary copper concentrates. Shredded circuit board copper assays 
reported in literature evaluated in completion of this rule ranged 
between 11 percent and 18 percent copper. Shredded circuit boards also 
frequently contain precious metal values such as gold, silver or 
platinum that enhance the economic value of the material. Moreover, the 
reported recycling efficiency for copper, gold, silver and platinum 
exceeds 90 percent for this type of material.
    Although toxic metal content for primary copper concentrates is 
variable depending on the ore body it comes from, reported assays for 
circuit boards are comparable in lead and lower in arsenic content than 
reported primary copper concentrate assays. Although shredded circuit 
boards are comparatively dispersible in comparison to primary copper 
concentrates, the conditional requirement for the exclusion stipulates 
that the shredded circuit boards must be stored in containers 
sufficient to prevent a release to the environment prior to recovery 
reduces any greater likelihood of release from shredded boards in 
comparison to primary copper concentrates.
    The fourth criterion EPA uses to evaluate partially-reclaimed 
secondary materials is the extent to which an end market is guaranteed 
for the material. Continuous demand from primary smelters for base 
metals and precious metals from shredded circuit boards should result 
from the positive economic value of the boards, the relative ease of 
handling and assaying of the boards and the diminishing quantities of 
primary copper ore concentrates. According to the Bureau of Mines 
Mineral Commodity Summaries 1994, reported and apparent

[[Page 26013]]

consumption for copper, silver and platinum group metals has either 
remained constant or increased between 1989 and 1993. Reported 
consumption of gold decreased slightly between 1989 and 1993 from 115 
metric tons and 100 metric tons. Secondary gold production decreased 
slightly over the same period from 158 metric tons to 130 metric tons. 
The price of gold declined over the same period from $382 per troy 
ounce to $355 per troy ounce. By 1996, the price of gold has increased 
to over $380 per troy ounce.
    The fifth criterion EPA uses to evaluate partially-reclaimed 
materials is the extent to which the material is managed to minimize 
loss. The proposed exclusion is conditioned on the proper storage of 
shredded circuit boards in containers prior to recovery. As mentioned 
in the proposal, the shredded boards are usually stored in super sacks 
(sacks that are reinforced woven resin and designed to accommodate bulk 
shipments), gaylord containers (also known as tri-wall boxes composed 
of three layers of cardboard with two layers of corrugation) and 55 
gallon drums. Open bulk shipments of board by rail, truck or barge are 
not within the scope of this exclusion. In addition to the storage 
requirement, the economic value of the boards also provides an 
incentive for handlers to prevent releases to the environment. At an 
average market value of $1.50 per pound for one recycler, the incentive 
to prevent releases is substantial. The Agency notes that 
containerization in and of itself was not the only reason the Agency 
concluded that shredded circuit boards should be excluded from the 
definition of solid waste. The other five factors supported this 
determination as well.
    Finally, EPA considers other relevant factors when evaluating the 
exclusion of partially-reclaimed materials from RCRA jurisdiction 
through the variance. In the context of shredded circuit boards, other 
relevant factors include: (1) The presence of both materials possibly 
attached to printed circuit boards that are ordinarily outside of the 
definition of scrap metal such as mercury switches, mercury relays, 
nickel-cadmium batteries and lithium batteries, and (2) the frequency 
of foreign materials mixed with but not part of the circuit board 
itself. EPA's concern about these materials is discussed below.
3. Limitation on Mercury Switches, Mercury Relays, Nickel-Cadmium 
Batteries and Lithium Batteries
    Printed circuit boards may contain or be incorporated into 
electronic products which contain mercury switches, mercury relays, 
nickel-cadmium batteries, and lithium batteries. EPA is concerned about 
the potential environmental impact of these materials that are 
associated with printed circuit board production and management after 
the boards are spent. Ordinarily, commercial printed circuit board 
recyclers, both intermediate processors (e.g. shredders) and smelters, 
do not want mercury switches, mercury relays, nickel-cadmium batteries 
and lithium batteries in shipments of shredded boards sent from the 
intermediate processor to the smelter. However, because these items may 
be very small, they may, on occasion, escape visual inspection and 
become shredded along with printed circuit boards. When this happens, 
EPA is concerned about the potential release of mercury or cadmium to 
the environment. For this reason, EPA is limiting the scope of the 
exclusion for shredded boards to shipments that are free of mercury 
switches, mercury relays, nickel-cadmium batteries or lithium 
batteries. Free of these materials means that mercury switches, mercury 
relays, nickel-cadmium batteries and lithium batteries are not or have 
not been part of the batch of circuit boards shredded to add value. In 
addition, EPA reiterates that in enforcement actions that it is the 
respondent in the action who bears the burden of proof in documenting 
that a material for which an exclusion is claimed from the definition 
of solid waste meets the appropriate regulatory definition or 
exclusion. 40 CFR 261.2(f). Shredded circuit boards that are not free 
of mercury switches, mercury relays, nickel-cadmium batteries, and 
lithium batteries when reclaimed are solid wastes. This is so because 
these used shredded circuit boards are spent materials. Spent materials 
being reclaimed are solid wastes that, when they exhibit a 
characteristic or are listed, are also hazardous wastes. 40 CFR 
261.1(b)(1), 261.2(c)(3). As stated in the proposal, EPA established in 
1992 that whole used circuit boards could be considered scrap metal. 
The whole used circuit boards are therefore exempt from RCRA 
regulation. See 40 CFR 261.6(a)(3)(ii) stating scrap metal being 
recycled is exempt from RCRA regulation. (Please note that whole used 
circuit boards which contain mercury switches, mercury relays, nickel-
cadmium batteries, or lithium batteries also do not meet the definition 
of scrap metal because mercury (being a liquid metal) and batteries are 
not within the scope of the definition of scrap metal. See 50 F.R. 614, 
624 (January 4, 1985).) As stated in the proposal shredded circuit 
boards do not meet the definition of scrap metal because the shredded 
material contains fines which are too small to qualify as scrap metal. 
Shredded circuit boards that are not free of mercury switches, mercury 
relays, nickel-cadmium batteries, and lithium batteries would be 
subject to applicable parts of RCRA regulation, 40 CFR Parts 260 
through 266, Part 268, Part 270, Part 273 and Part 124. Shredded 
circuit boards with economically recoverable quantities of precious 
metals are still eligible for conditional exemption from regulation 
under 40 CFR Part 266 Subpart F. This provision allows recyclable 
materials containing an economically recoverable amount of precious 
metals to be exempt from many RCRA regulatory provisions. However, 
these materials are still subject to manifesting, export and 
speculative accumulation requirements. 40 CFR 266.70.
4. Clarification of Regulatory Status of Secondary Materials Associated 
With the Generation or Management of Circuit Boards
    Several commenters requested clarification in today's rule about 
the current regulatory status of secondary materials associated with 
the generation or management of printed circuit boards. These materials 
include: spent solder baths (pot dumps), sweeps, baghouse dust, and 
solder dross. These commenters also requested exclusion of these 
materials from RCRA jurisdiction in today's rule.
    Spent solder baths, also known as pot dumps, are solidified pieces 
of tin-lead solder baths used in the production of printed circuit 
boards. Prior to 1993, EPA had classified spent solder baths as spent 
materials, which, absent the scrap metal designation, would be fully 
regulated under RCRA hazardous waste regulation. In 1993, EPA issued a 
letter to the Lead Industries Association stating that spent solder 
baths meet the definition of scrap metal and are therefore exempt from 
RCRA regulation under the regulatory exemption for scrap metal being 
recycled. This interpretation continues to be the Agency view.
    Sweeps refer alternatively to a powdered material that is a residue 
of thermal recovery of precious metal-bearing secondary material (often 
ash that is crushed into particulate form in a ball mill or similar 
device) or particulate material that is collected from firms handling 
precious metals such as jewelers and metal finishers. Sweeps have been 
previously classified

[[Page 26014]]

by EPA as a by-product.<SUP>2</SUP> As such, when sent for reclamation, 
sweeps are not solid waste and are excluded from RCRA jurisdiction 
regulation when considered hazardous solely by exhibiting a 
characteristic. Characteristic by-products are not solid wastes when 
reclaimed. 40 CFR 261.2(c)(3). In contrast, when sweeps are derived 
from source material that meets the description of a listed hazardous 
waste, the sweeps are solid wastes that are also hazardous wastes and 
are regulated under the appropriate RCRA regulation provisions. 40 CFR 
261.2(c)(3). For example, often combustible material such as a rag, 
filter or paper is used to clean up a secondary material such as a 
spent solvent that may: (1) contain precious metals and (2) meets one 
of the F001 through F005 listing descriptions for solvents. The rag, 
filter or paper will be burned to an ash that it homogenized in order 
to assay its precious metal content. The ash when crushed is turned 
into a sweep. The sweep carries the F-listed hazardous waste code that 
was associated with the original source material (i.e., solvent). 
Listed by-products, in contrast to characteristic by-products, are 
solid and hazardous wastes when reclaimed.

    \2\August 26, 1992 memorandum from Sylvia K. Lowrance, Director, 
U.S.E.P.A., Office of Solid Waste to Waste Management Division 
Directors U.S.E.P.A., Regions I-X on the Regulatory Status of 
Printed Circuit Boards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA has classified baghouse dust from precious metal recovery 
furnaces as a sludge.<SUP>3</SUP> As with the by-product classification 
for sweeps, baghouse dust is not a solid and hazardous waste when it 
would be considered hazardous only for exhibiting a characteristic such 
as toxicity. However, if the source material to the furnace contained a 
listed hazardous waste, then the baghouse dust would be considered a 
solid and hazardous waste due to its classification as a listed sludge 
being reclaimed. Also as with the sweeps, even if the baghouse dust is 
a listed sludge, it may still be conditionally exempt from RCRA 
regulation under 40 CFR Part 266 Subpart F if it contains economically 
recoverable levels of precious metals.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\Ibid.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, EPA currently classifies solder dross as a characteristic 
by-product when reclaimed. As such, this material is already excluded 
from the definition of solid waste and not regulated under the RCRA 
regulations. Therefore, including solder dross in today's final rule 
would be duplicative.

and by revising the introductory text of paragraph (b), and revising 
paragraphs (b)(1), newly designated paragraphs (b)(2) through (b)(4), 
(c)(1), and (c)(2) to read as follows:


Sec. 268.7  Testing, tracking, and recordkeeping requirements for 
generators, treaters, and disposal facilities.

    (a) Requirements for generators: (1) Determine if the waste has to 
be treated before being land disposed, as follows: A generator of a 
hazardous waste must determine if the waste has to be treated before it 
can be land disposed. This is done by determining if the hazardous 
waste meets the treatment standards in Sec. 268.40 or Sec. 268.45. This 
determination can be made in either of two ways: testing the waste or 
using knowledge of the waste. If the generator tests the waste, testing 
would normally determine the total concentration of hazardous 
constituents, or the concentration of hazardous constituents in an 
extract of the waste obtained using test method 1311 in ``Test Methods 
for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,'' EPA 
Publication SW-846, as referenced in Sec. 260.11 of this chapter, 
depending on whether the treatment standard for the waste is expressed 
as a total concentration or concentration of hazardous constituent in 
the waste's extract. In addition, some hazardous wastes must be treated 
by particular treatment methods before they can be land disposed. These 
treatment standards are also found in Sec. 268.40, and are described in 
detail in Sec. 268.42, Table 1. These wastes do not need to be tested 
(however, if they are

[[Page 26020]]

in a waste mixture, other wastes with concentration level treatment 
standards would have to be tested). If a generator determines they are 
managing a waste that displays a hazardous characteristic of 
ignitability, corrosivity, reactivity, or toxicity, they must comply 
with the special requirements of Sec. 268.9 of this part in addition to 
any applicable requirements in this section.
    (2) If the waste does not meet the treatment standard: With the 
initial shipment of waste to each treatment or storage facility, the 
generator must send a one-time written notice to each treatment or 
storage facility receiving the waste, and place a copy in the file. The 
notice must include the information in column ``268.7(a)(2)'' of the 
Generator Paperwork Requirements Table in Sec. 268.7(a)(4). No further 
notification is necessary until such time that the waste or facility 
change, in which case a new notification must be sent and a copy placed 
in the generator's file.
    (3) If the waste meets the treatment standard at the original point 
of generation:
    (i) With the initial shipment of waste to each treatment, storage, 
or disposal facility, the generator must send a one-time written notice 
to each treatment, storage, or disposal facility receiving the waste, 
and place a copy in the file. The notice must include the information 
indicated in column ``268.7(a)(3)'' of the Generator Paperwork 
Requirements Table in Sec. 268.7(a)(4) and the following certification 
statement, signed by an authorized representative:

    I certify under penalty of law that I personally have examined 
and am familiar with the waste through analysis and testing or 
through knowledge of the waste to support this certification that 
the waste complies with the treatment standards specified in 40 CFR 
part 268 subpart D. I believe that the information I submitted is 
true, accurate, and complete. I am aware that there are significant 
penalties for submitting a false certification, including the 
possibility of a fine and imprisonment.

    (ii) If the waste changes, the generator must send a new notice and 
certification to the receiving facility, and place a copy in their 
files. Generators of hazardous debris excluded from the definition of 
hazardous waste under Sec. 261.3(f) of this chapter are not subject to 
these requirements.
    (4) For reporting, tracking and recordkeeping when exceptions allow 
certain wastes that do not meet the treatment standards to be land 
disposed: There are certain exemptions from the requirement that 
hazardous wastes meet treatment standards before they can be land 
disposed. These include, but are not limited to case-by-case extensions 
under Sec. 268.5, disposal in a no-migration unit under Sec. 268.6, or 
a national capacity variance or case-by-case capacity variance under 
subpart C of this part. If a generator's waste is so exempt, then with 
the initial shipment of waste, the generator must send a one-time 
written notice to each land disposal facility receiving the waste. The 
notice must include the information indicated in column ``268.7(a)(4)'' 
of the Generator Paperwork Requirements Table below. If the waste 
changes, the generator must send a new notice to the receiving 
facility, and place a copy in their files.

    (5) If a generator is managing and treating prohibited waste in 
tanks, containers, or containment buildings regulated under 40 CFR 
262.34 to meet applicable LDR treatment standards found at Sec. 268.40, 
the generator must develop and follow a written waste analysis plan 
which describes the procedures they will carry out to comply with the 
treatment standards. (Generators treating hazardous debris under the 
alternative treatment standards of Table 1, Sec. 268.45, however, are 
not subject to these waste analysis requirements.) The plan must be 
kept on site in the generator's records, and the following requirements 
must be met:
    (i) The waste analysis plan must be based on a detailed chemical 
and physical analysis of a representative sample of the prohibited 
waste(s) being treated, and contain all information necessary to treat 
the waste(s) in accordance with the requirements of this part, 
including the selected testing frequency.
    (ii) Such plan must be kept in the facility's on-site files and 
made available to inspectors.
    (iii) Wastes shipped off-site pursuant to this paragraph must 
comply with the notification requirements of Sec. 268.7(a)(3).
    (6) If a generator determines that the waste is restricted based 
solely on his knowledge of the waste, all supporting data used to make 
this determination must be retained on-site in the generator's files. 
If a generator determines that the waste is restricted based on testing 
this waste or an extract developed using the test method 1311 in ``Test 
Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods,'' EPA 
Publication SW-846, as referenced in Sec. 260.11 of this chapter, and 
all waste analysis data must be retained on-site in the generator's 
files.
    (7) If a generator determines that he is managing a restricted 
waste that is

[[Page 26021]]

excluded from the definition of hazardous or solid waste or exempt from 
Subtitle C regulation, under 40 CFR 261.2 through 261.6 subsequent to 
the point of generation (including deactivated characteristic hazardous 
wastes managed in wastewater treatment systems subject to the Clean 
Water Act (CWA) as specified at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(2), or are CWA-
equivalent), he must place a one-time notice stating such generation, 
subsequent exclusion from the definition of hazardous or solid waste or 
exemption from RCRA Subtitle C regulation, and the disposition of the 
waste, in the facility's file.
    (8) Generators must retain on-site a copy of all notices, 
certifications, waste analysis data, and other documentation produced 
pursuant to this section for at least three years from the date that 
the waste that is the subject of such documentation was last sent to 
on-site or off-site treatment, storage, or disposal. The three year 
record retention period is automatically extended during the course of 
any unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated activity or 
as requested by the Administrator. The requirements of this paragraph 
apply to solid wastes even when the hazardous characteristic is removed 
prior to disposal, or when the waste is excluded from the definition of 
hazardous or solid waste under 40 CFR 261.2 through 261.6, or exempted 
from Subtitle C regulation, subsequent to the point of generation.
    (9) If a generator is managing a lab pack containing hazardous 
wastes and wishes to use the alternative treatment standard for lab 
packs found at Sec. 268.42(c):
    (i) With the initial shipment of waste to a treatment facility, the 
generator must submit a notice that provides the information in column 
``Sec. 268.7(a)(9)'' in the Generator Paperwork Requirements Table of 
paragraph (a)(4) of this section, and the following certification. The 
certification, which must be signed by an authorized representative and 
must be placed in the generator's files, must say the following:

    I certify under penalty of law that I personally have examined 
and am familiar with the waste and that the lab pack contains only 
wastes that have not been excluded under appendix IV to 40 CFR part 
268 and that this lab pack will be sent to a combustion facility in 
compliance with the alternative treatment standards for lab packs at 
40 CFR 268.42(c). I am aware that there are significant penalties 
for submitting a false certification, including the possibility of 
fine or imprisonment.

    (ii) No further notification is necessary until such time that the 
wastes in the lab pack change, or the receiving facility changes, in 
which case a new notice and certification must be sent and a copy 
placed in the generator's file.
    (iii) If the lab pack contains characteristic hazardous wastes 
(D001-D043), underlying hazardous constituents (as defined in 
Sec. 268.2(i)) need not be determined.
    (iv) The generator must also comply with the requirements in 
paragraphs (a)(6) and (a)(7) of this section.
    (10) Small quantity generators with tolling agreements pursuant to 
40 CFR 262.20(e) must comply with the applicable notification and 
certification requirements of paragraph (a) of this section for the 
initial shipment of the waste subject to the agreement. Such generators 
must retain on-site a copy of the notification and certification, 
together with the tolling agreement, for at least three years after 
termination or expiration of the agreement. The three-year record 
retention period is automatically extended during the course of any 
unresolved enforcement action regarding the regulated activity or as 
requested by the Administrator.
    (b) Treatment facilities must test their wastes according to the 
frequency specified in their waste analysis plans as required by 40 CFR 
264.13 (for permitted TSDs) or 40 CFR 265.13 (for interim status 
facilities). Such testing must be performed as provided in paragraphs 
(b)(1), (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this section.
    (1) For wastes with treatment standards expressed as concentrations 
in the waste extract (TCLP), the owner or operator of the treatment 
facility must test an extract of the treatment residues, using test 
method 1311 (the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure, described 
in ``Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical 
Methods,'' EPA Publication SW-846 as incorporated by reference in 
Sec. 260.11 of this chapter), to assure that the treatment residues 
extract meet the applicable treatment standards.
    (2) For wastes with treatment standards expressed as concentrations 
in the waste, the owner or operator of the treatment facility must test 
the treatment residues (not an extract of such residues) to assure that 
they meet the applicable treatment standards.
    (3) A one-time notice must be sent with the initial shipment of 
waste to the land disposal facility. A copy of the notice must be 
placed in the treatment facility's file.
    (i) No further notification is necessary until such time that the 
waste or receiving facility change, in which case a new notice must be 
sent and a copy placed in the treatment facility's file.
    (ii) The one-time notice must include these requirements:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (4) The treatment facility must submit a one-time certification 
signed by an authorized representative with the initial shipment of 
waste or treatment residue of a restricted waste to the land disposal 
facility. The certification must state:

    I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined 
and am familiar with the treatment technology and operation of the 
treatment process used to support this certification. Based on my 
inquiry of those individuals immediately responsible for obtaining 
this information, I believe that the treatment process has been 
operated and maintained properly so as to comply with the treatment 
standards specified in 40 CFR 268.40 without impermissible dilution 
of the

[[Page 26022]]

prohibited waste. I am aware there are significant penalties for 
submitting a false certification, including the possibility of fine 
and imprisonment.

    (i) A copy of the certification must be placed in the treatment 
facility's on-site files. If the waste or treatment residue changes, or 
the receiving facility changes, a new certification must be sent to the 
receiving facility, and a copy placed in the file.
    (ii) Debris excluded from the definition of hazardous waste under 
Sec. 261.3(e) of this chapter (i.e., debris treated by an extraction or 
destruction technology provided by Table 1, Sec. 268.45, and debris 
that the Director has determined does not contain hazardous waste), 
however, is subject to the notification and certification requirements 
of paragraph (d) of this section rather than the certification 
requirements of this paragraph.
    (iii) For wastes with organic constituents having treatment 
standards expressed as concentration levels, if compliance with the 
treatment standards is based in whole or in part on the analytical 
detection limit alternative specified in Sec. 268.40(d), the 
certification, signed by an authorized representative, must state the 
following:

    I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined 
and am familiar with the treatment technology and operation of the 
treatment process used to support this certification. Based on my 
inquiry of those individuals immediately responsible for obtaining 
this information, I believe that the nonwastewater organic 
constituents have been treated by combustion units as specified in 
268.42, Table 1. I have been unable to detect the nonwastewater 
organic constituents, despite having used best good-faith efforts to 
analyze for such constituents. I am aware there are significant 
penalties for submitting a false certification, including the 
possibility of fine and imprisonment.
* * * * *
    (c) * * *
    (1) Have copies of the notice and certifications specified in 
paragraph (a) or (b) of this section.
    (2) Test the waste, or an extract of the waste or treatment residue 
developed using test method 1311 (the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching 
Procedure), described in ``Test Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste, 
Physical/Chemical Methods,'' EPA Publication SW-846 as incorporated by 
reference in Sec. 260.11 of this chapter), to assure that the wastes or 
treatment residues are in compliance with the applicable treatment 
standards set forth in subpart D of this part. Such testing must be 
performed according to the frequency specified in the facility's waste 
analysis plan as required by Sec. 264.13 or Sec. 265.13 of this 
chapter.
* * * * *
    12. Section 268.9 is amended by revising paragraph (a) and 
(d)(1)(ii) to read as follows:


Sec. 268.9  Special rules regarding wastes that exhibit a 
characteristic.

    (a) The initial generator of a solid waste must determine each EPA 
Hazardous Waste Number (waste code) applicable to the waste in order to 
determine the applicable treatment standards under subpart D of this 
part. For purposes of part 268, the waste will carry the waste code for 
any applicable listed waste (Part 261, Subpart D). In addition, where 
the waste exhibits a characteristic, the waste will carry one or more 
of the characteristic waste codes (Part 261, Subpart C), except when 
the treatment standard for the listed waste operates in lieu of the 
treatment standard for the characteristic waste, as specified in 
paragraph (b) of this section. If the generator determines that their 
waste displays a hazardous characteristic (and is not D001 
nonwastewaters treated by CMBST, RORGS, OR POLYM of Sec. 268.42, Table 
1), the generator must determine the underlying hazardous constituents 
(as defined at Sec. 268.2(i)) in the characteristic waste.
* * * * *
    (d) * * *
    (1) * * *
    (ii) A description of the waste as initially generated, including 
the applicable EPA hazardous waste code(s), treatability group(s), and 
underlying hazardous constituents (as defined in Sec. 268.2(i)), unless 
the waste will be treated and monitored for all underlying hazardous 
constituents. If all underlying hazardous constituents will be treated 
and monitored, there is no requirement to list any of the underlying 
hazardous constituents on the notice.
* * * * *

Subpart C--Prohibitions on Land Disposal

    13. Section 268.30 is revised to read as follows:


Sec. 268.30  Waste specific prohibitions--wood preserving wastes.

    (a) Effective August 11, 1997, the following wastes are prohibited 
from land disposal: the wastes specified in 40 CFR part 261 as EPA 
Hazardous Waste numbers F032, F034, and F035.
    (b) Effective May 12, 1999, the following wastes are prohibited 
from land disposal: soil and debris contaminated with F032, F034, F035; 
and radioactive wastes mixed with EPA Hazardous waste numbers F032, 
F034, and F035.
    (c) Between May 12, 1997 and May 12, 1999, soil and debris 
contaminated with F032, F034, F035; and radioactive waste mixed with 
F032, F034, and F035 may be disposed in a landfill or surface 
impoundment only if such unit is in compliance with the requirements 
specified in Sec. 268.5(h)(2) of this part.
    (d) The requirements of paragraphs (a) and (b) of this section do 
not apply if:
    (1) The wastes meet the applicable treatment standards specified in 
Subpart D of this part;
    (2) Persons have been granted an exemption from a prohibition 
pursuant to a petition under Sec. 268.6, with respect to those wastes 
and units covered by the petition;
    (3) The wastes meet the applicable alternate treatment standards 
established pursuant to a petition granted under Sec. 268.44; or
    (4) Persons have been granted an extension to the effective date of 
a prohibition pursuant to Sec. 268.5, with respect to those wastes 
covered by the extension.
    (e) To determine whether a hazardous waste identified in this 
section exceeds the applicable treatment standards specified in 
Sec. 268.40, the initial generator must test a sample of the waste 
extract or the entire waste, depending on whether the treatment 
standards are expressed as concentrations in the waste extract or the 
waste, or the generator may use knowledge of the waste. If the waste 
contains constituents in excess of the applicable Universal Treatment 
Standard levels of Sec. 268.48 of this part, the waste is prohibited 
from land disposal, and all requirements of part 268 are applicable, 
except as otherwise specified.


Sec. Sec. 268.32, 268.33, 268.34, 268.35 and 286.36   [Removed and 
Reserved]

    14. Sections 268.32, 268.33, 268.34, 268.35, and 268.36 are removed 
and reserved.

Subpart D--Treatment Standards

    15. In Sec. 268.40 the Table of Treatment Standards is amended by 
adding, in alpha-numerical order, entries for F032, F034, and F035, and 
revising entries for D001, F024 to read as follows:

\1\The waste descriptions provided in this table do not replace waste descriptions in 40 CFR part 261. Descriptions of Treatment/Regulatory             
  Subcategories are provided, as needed, to distinguish between applicability of different standards.                                                   
\2\CAS means Chemical Abstract Services. When the waste code and/or regulated constituents are described as a combination of a chemical with its salts  
  and/or esters, the CAS number is given for the parent compound only.                                                                                  
\3\Concentration standards for wastewaters are expressed in mg/l and are based on analysis of composite samples.                                        
\4\All treatment standards expressed as a Technology Code or combination of Technology Codes are explained in detail in Sec. 268.42 Table 1--Technology 
  Codes and Descriptions of Technology-Based Standards.                                                                                                 
\5\Except for Metals (EP or TCLP) and Cyanides (Total and Amenable) the nonwastewater treatment standards expressed as a concentration were established,
  in part, based upon incineration in units operated in accordance with the technical requirements of 40 CFR part 264, subpart O, or part 265, subpart  
  O, or based upon combustion in fuel substitution units operating in accordance with applicable technical requirements. A facility may comply with     
  these treatment standards according to provisions in Sec. 268.40(d). All concentration standards for nonwastewaters are based on analysis of grab     
  samples.                                                                                                                                              
\6\Where an alternate treatment standard or set of alternate standards has been indicated, a facility may comply with this alternate standard, but only 
  for the Treatment/Regulatory Subcategory or physical form (i.e., wastewater and/or nonwastewater) specified for that alternate standard.              
\7\Both Cyanides (Total) and Cyanides (Amenable) for nonwastewaters are to be analyzed using Method 9010 or 9012, found in ``Test Methods for Evaluating
  Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical Methods'', EPA Publication SW-846, as incorporated by reference in 40 CFR 260.11, with a sample size of 10 grams and a 
  distillation time of one hour and 15 minutes.                                                                                                         
\8\These wastes, when rendered nonhazardous and then subsequently managed in CWA, or CWA-equivalent systems are not subject to treatment standards. (See
  Sec. 268.1(c) (3) and (4)).                                                                                                                           
\9\These wastes, when rendered nonhazardous and then subsequently injected in a Class I SDWA well are not subject to treatment standards. (See 40 CFR   
  part 148.1(d)).                                                                                                                                       
\10\Between August 26, 1996, and August 26, 1997, the treatment standard for this waste may be satisfied by either meeting the constituent              
  concentrations in this table or by treating the waste by the specified technologies: combustion, as defined by the technolgy code CMBST at Sec. 268.42
  Table 1 of this part, for nonwastewaters; and, biodegradation as definded by the technolgy code BIODG, carbon adsorption as defined by the technology 
  code CARBN, chemical oxidation as defined by the technology code CHOXD, or combustion as defined as technolgy code CMBST at Sec. 268.42 Table 1 of    
  this part, for wastewaters.

\11\For these wastes, the definition of CMBST is limited to: (1) combustion units operating under 40 CFR 266, (2) combustion units permitted under 40   
  CFR Part 264, Subpart O, or (3) combustion units operating under 40 CFR 265, Subpart O, which have obtained a determination of equivalent treatment

Appendices I, II, III, and X to Part 268 [Removed and Reserved]

    18. Appendices I, II, III, and X to part 268 are removed and 
reserved.
    19. The introductory language of appendix VI to part 268 is revised 
to read as follows:

Appendix VI to Part 268--Recommended Technologies to Achieve 
Deactivation of Characteristics in Section 268.42

    The treatment standard for many characteristic wastes is stated 
in the Sec. 268.40 Table of Treatment Standards as ``Deactivation 
and meet UTS.'' EPA has determined that many technologies, when used 
alone or in combination, can achieve the deactivation portion of the 
treatment standard. Characteristic wastes that are not managed in a 
facility regulated by the Clean Water Act (CWA) or in a CWA-
equivalent facility, and that also contain underlying hazardous 
constituents (see Sec. 268.2(i)) must be treated not only by a 
``deactivating'' technology to remove the characteristic, but also 
to achieve the universal treatment standards (UTS) for underlying 
hazardous constituents. The following appendix presents a partial 
list of technologies, utilizing the five letter technology codes 
established in 40 CFR 268.42 Table 1, that may be useful in meeting 
the treatment standard. Use of these specific technologies is not 
mandatory and does not preclude direct reuse, recovery, and/or the 
use of other pretreatment technologies, provided deactivation is 
achieved and underlying hazardous constituents are treated to 
achieve the UTS.
