Correction to the Hazardous Waste Identification Rule (HWIR): Revisions to the Mixture and Derived-from Rules: Delay of Effective Date; Reopening of Comment Period

EPA issued a direct final rule in the Federal Register on October 3, 2001 at 66 FR 50332 entitled Correction to the Hazardous Waste Identification Rule (HWIR): Revisions to the Mixture and Derived- from Rules; Direct Final Rule. During and after the comment period for that direct final rule, U.S. mail delivery to EPA's dockets was delayed due to concerns about possible contamination. This document delays the effective date of that direct final rule and reopens the comment period for thirty days to assure that EPA receives any comments that were mailed during the comment period but were not received by EPA by the end of the comment period. EPA is requesting that anyone who submitted comments during the previous comment period resubmit those comments as described below.
