The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) today is announcing an administrative stay of the regulatory provisions set forth in 40 CFR 279.10(b)(2) applicable to mixtures of used oil destined for recycling and either characteristic hazardous waste or waste listed as hazardous because it exhibits a hazardous waste characteristic. The stay reinstates for these mixtures the regulatory requirements ordinarily applicable to mixtures containing hazardous waste, along with other applicable regulatory requirements, including but not limited to the 40 CFR Part 268 land-disposal restrictions (``LDRs''), until the Agency completes a new rulemaking addressing 40 CFR 279.10(b)(2).
