Please see attached for the American Coatings Association's (ACA) letter requesting an extension of the comment period for EPA's Used Drum Management and Reconditioning ANPRM. Specifically, ACA requests an additional 60 days in which to comment beyond the current September 25, 2023, deadline. Thank you for your consideration of our request. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require additional justification.
In response to growing concerns about environmental and public health issues at drum reconditioning sites, EPA is publishing an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) on the drum reconditioning industry. The purpose of the ANPRM is to engage stakeholders early in the process. EPA is hoping to obtain additional information on the industry as a whole, including waste management practices and more information about damage cases and their impact to nearby communities. The ANPRM will also provide an opportunity for stakeholders to comment on a range of potential ways of addressing these problems, including potential future regulatory changes, as well as suggest other alternatives for EPA to pursue in future rulemakings.
