Federal Register Notice: Final Amendments to Regulations for Interim Status Facilities for Hazardous Waste Management, Permits, and Procedures for Post-Closure Permitting

In this final rule, EPA promulgated amendments to the hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) governing changes at interim status and permitted facilities, including redesignation of certain permit modifications as Class 1. This rule also amends the hazardous waste permitting regulations to clarify the Agency's authority to deny permits for the active life of a facility while a permit decision with respect to the post-closure period remains pending.
