The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is today removing from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 40 CFR Part 5. This outdated rule created a schedule of tuition fees for technical and managerial training conducted directly by EPA under its programs in air, water, solid waste, radiation and pesticides. This rule is no longer legally in effect because it is inconsistent with how Government fees and charges are currently assessed under 31 U.S.C. 9701. Deleting this rule from the CFR will clarify the legal status of this rule for personnel of State and local governmental agencies, other Federal agencies, private industries, universities, and other non-EPA agencies and organizations. This action is in furtherance of government streamlining and will not adversely impact public health or the environment.
