Abstract
On August 6, 1998, (63 FR 42110), EPA published in the Federal Register a final rule concerning the listing of hazardous wastes from petroleum refining under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, Reportable Quantity adjustments, promoting recycling of oil-bearing residuals, and applying universal treatment standards to petroleum wastes. The rule established an effective date of August 6, 1998, for certain deregulatory amendments and February 8, 1999, for other amendments. This document corrects the August 6, 1998, effective date of the rule to be consistent with sections 801 and 808 of the Congressional Review Act (CRA), enacted as part of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act, 5 U.S.C. 801, 808.
