{"abstract":"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is today amending Sec. 266.20, which contains provisions for conditionally exempting hazardous waste-derived products used in a manner constituting disposal (i.e., applied to or placed on land) from the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Subtitle C regulations. The proposed amendment to Sec. 266.20 was published on February 23, 1994 (59 FR 8583). As specified in the proposal, EPA is amending Sec. 266.20 so that certain uses of slag residues produced from the high temperature metal recovery (HTMR) treatment of electric arc furnace dust (EPA Hazardous Waste No. K061), steel finishing pickle liquor (K062), and electroplating sludges (F006) are not exempt from RCRA Subtitle C regulations. EPA's proposal also contained a definition for ``non-encapsulated'' uses of HTMR slags. Following a review of the public comments, EPA is clarifying the definition of non-encapsulated uses of HTMR slags by specifying these uses to be the anti-skid/deicing uses. This action partially implements a settlement agreement entered into by EPA on August 13, 1993 with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and Hazardous Waste Treatment Council (HWTC). This action will effectively prohibit anti-skid/deicing uses of HTMR slags derived from K061, K062, and F006, as waste-derived products placed on the land, since such uses will be allowed only if there is compliance with all Subtitle C standards applicable to land disposal. This rule does not prohibit other uses of these slags that meet Sec. 266.20(b) requirements. The rule also does not prevent the disposal of HTMR slags in a Subtitle D unit if the residuals can meet the risk-based exclusion levels specified in Sec. 261.3(c)(2). EPA plans to propose a regulatory determination on the remaining uses of HTMR slags by December, 1994.","action":"Final rule and response to comments.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/1994/08/24/94-20808.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":266,"title":40},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":268,"title":40}],"citation":null,"comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This final rule is effective on February 24, 1995.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Federal Register: August 24, 1994","SW-FRL-5057-8"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"94-20808","effective_on":"1995-02-24","end_page":0,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":null,"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1994/08/24/94-20808/standards-for-the-management-of-specific-hazardous-wastes-amendment-to-subpart-crecyclable-materials","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/94-20808?publication_date=1994-08-24","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-1994-08-24/94-20808/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":1,"page_views":{"count":102,"last_updated":"2026-09-21 00:15:04 -0400"},"pdf_url":null,"presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"1994-08-24","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/1994/08/24/94-20808.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":0,"subtype":null,"title":"Standards for the Management of Specific Hazardous Wastes; Amendment to Subpart CRecyclable Materials Used in a Manner Constituting Disposal; Final Rule","toc_doc":null,"toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Uncategorized Document","volume":59}
