| 02-32547 | Regulatory Innovations: Pilot-Specific Rule for Electronic Materials in the EPA Region III Mid-Atlantic States; Hazardous Waste Management System; Modification of the Hazardous Waste Program; Cathode Ray Tubes | Rule | Many used cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are currently classified as characteristic hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Such CRTs are therefore subject to the hazardous waste regulations of RCRA Subtitle C unless they come from a household or a conditionally exempt small quantity generator. Today EPA is taking direct final action on a revision to its hazardous waste program under RCRA to exclude used CRTs and glass removed from CRTs from the definition of "solid waste" in the EPA Region III Mid-Atlantic States (which include the States of Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia, the Commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the District of Columbia). Additionally, the preamble to this rule clarifies when used CRTs and other used electronic equipment become a "solid waste." This rule will support an ongoing e-Cycling Pilot Project of EPA Region III's Mid-Atlantic States, which is promoting reuse and recycling of electronics. EPA believes that today's direct final rule will encourage increased recycling and better management of these materials in Region III states. EPA has proposed a similar, albeit broader, conditional exclusion for CRTs and certain other electronic materials that would be effective nationwide (June 12, 2002, 67 FR 40508-40528). EPA is promulgating this regional rule now because it believes that implementing the rule in the Region III states will produce information about the CRT conditional exclusion that will be useful to EPA as it assesses the appropriateness of adopting the RCRA exclusion nationally. EPA expects to withdraw the regional rule if and when a final national rule becomes effective. | 2002-12-26 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/26/02-32547/regulatory-innovations-pilot-specific-rule-for-electronic-materials-in-the-epa-region-iii | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-26/pdf/02-32547.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | Many used cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are currently classified as characteristic hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
