| 96-32968 | Solid Waste Programs; Management Guidelines for Beverage Containers and Resource Recovery Facilities Guidelines; Removal of Obsolete Guidelines | Proposed Rule | On March 4, 1995, the President directed all Federal agencies and departments to conduct a comprehensive review of the regulations they administer and, by June 1, 1995, to identify those rules that are obsolete or unduly burdensome. EPA has conducted a review of its rules, including rules issued under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Based on the review, EPA is today proposing to remove from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) two guidelines pertaining to solid waste management which are obsolete. The activities addressed in these 1976 guidelines have been included in numerous state and local statutes and regulations and other Federal rules, or have been superseded by such Presidential actions as Executive Order 12873, ``Federal Acquisition, Recycling, and Waste Prevention.'' These guidelines are now obsolete because: the need for Part 244 guidelines for Federal facilities on beverage containers has passed with the implementation of state and local recycling mandates and requirements, RCRA Section 6001 requirements, and Executive Order 12873, and Part 245 requirements are incorporated into state and local laws and Part 256, which addresses the requirements for facility planning and implementation of resource recovery programs. Therefore, deleting these guidelines from the CFR will have no measurable impact on solid waste management. In the rules and regulations section of today's Federal Register, EPA is also promulgating a direct final rule to withdraw Parts 244 and 245 from Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). A detailed rationale for the removal of these guidelines is set forth in the direct final rule and is incorporated herein. Potential commenters should consult that notice. If no adverse comments are received in response to this notice, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule and Parts 244 and 245 will be withdrawn. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. | 1996-12-31 | 1996 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1996/12/31/96-32968/solid-waste-programs-management-guidelines-for-beverage-containers-and-resource-recovery-facilities | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-12-31/pdf/96-32968.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | On March 4, 1995, the President directed all Federal agencies and departments to conduct a comprehensive review of the regulations they administer and, by June 1, 1995, to identify those rules that are obsolete or unduly burdensome.
