Jan 5, 2016· Comment submitted by Tawny A. Bridgeford, Deputy General Counsel, National Mining Association (NMA)· EPA-HQ-RCRA-2012-0121-0200

The National Mining Association (NMA) submits the attached comments in response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rule to revise the hazardous waste generator regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. "Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements," Proposed Rule, 80 Fed. Reg. 57,918 (Sept. 25, 2015).

Abstract

This rulemaking effort is aimed at improving both the user-friendliness and effectiveness of various components of the hazardous waste generator regulatory program. This effort will consist of: (1) eliminating regulations associated with programs that are no longer operational, such as Performance Track; (2) clarifying existing rules in a more substantial way than those addressed in the Technical Corrections and Clarifications Direct Final Rule; and (3) closing gaps in our existing regulatory program to improve program effectiveness.
