Why is EPA planning to publish a Federal Register Notice of Data Availability on government research laboratories?
As explained in the “who is eligible question” above, EPA researched other types of institutions besides colleges and universities that exhibited similar hazardous waste generation patterns. From our own research and public comments received on the proposed rule, EPA determined that government research laboratories have the same hazardous waste generation pattern seen at colleges and universities of generating small amounts of many different hazardous wastes that vary over time at many points of generation. However, because a significant student presence in the laboratories increases the challenges of making the hazardous waste determination and training, an inherently transient student population is an equally important rationale behind this rule. While the public comments the Agency received provided some information about students in government research laboratories, information about students at most other government research laboratories was not readily available. Thus, EPA plans
