On August 11, 2023, EPA published the Used Drum Management and Reconditioning Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) to help the Agency evaluate any future actions to address significant issues identified across the lifecycle of used containers. In its September 2022 Drum Reconditioner Damage Case Report, EPA found that environmental impacts occurred at industrial facilities, hazardous waste generators, and others generating or managing used containers and residues, as well as transporters and receiving facilities (i.e., drum reconditioners). To better understand these issues and potential solutions, the ANPRM seeks information and requests comments to assist in the development of options that would ensure the safe management of industrial containers that held hazardous chemicals or hazardous waste, up to and including the drum reconditioning process. Submit comments on the docket at Regulations.gov by Nov. 22, 2023. |
