A. No. Conditionally exempt small-quantity generators (i.e., those who generate less than 100 kg. of hazardous waste in a calendar month) would not be affected by the proposal under the federal program, since their wastes are already excluded from regulation. Thus, these generators could continue to send their wastes to the same types of facilities that are currently eligible to receive their wastes (see 40 CFR 261.5).
