This final rule extended the effective date for qualifications of insurers providing liability insurance used to satisfy liability coverage requirements applicable to owners or operators of hazardous waste management facilities, as such requirements are included in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 264 and 265. The date was moved from July 15, 1982, to October 16, 1982, however the effective date for the rest of the liability coverage requirements remained July 15, 1982. This extension intended to allow six months between the date of promulgation and the effective date for the insurer qualification provision, in accordance with Section 3010(b) of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended.
