Hazardous Waste Generator Regulatory ProgramANPRMEPA is seeking information from its many stakeholders to evaluate the effectiveness of RCRA's hazardous waste generator regulatory program, as well as to identify areas for improvement. With the information collected, we, along with our State partners, will evaluate and determine whether changes to the hazardous waste generator program are appropriate. If so, EPA will develop and implement a hazardous waste generator program strategy with the goals of fostering improved program effectiveness, fostering a pollution prevention stewardship philosophy, and reducing compliance cost, where practicable. All subsequent efforts would be predicated upon resource availability. As part of this effort, the Agency also intends to hold public stakeholder meetings to discuss this subject further, including the identification of priority concerns and potential solutions. A separate Federal Register notice will announce these meetings. Background information for this notice is available through EPA's electronic public docket and comment system, EPA Dockets. The docket number is RCRA-2003-0014.
