## Abstract

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting errors that appeared in the Universal Waste Rule which was published in the Federal Register (FR) on May 11, 1995 (60 FR 25492). This final rule creates no new regulatory requirements; rather it: makes three corrections to the regulations governing management of spent lead-acid batteries that are reclaimed; corrects the definition of a small quantity universal waste handler; and clarifies the export requirements which apply to destination facilities when destination facilities act as universal waste handlers.
