recommends that you include your name and other contact information in the body of your comment. If EPA

This document proposes to take action on Arizonas changes to its hazardous waste management program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act RCRA, as amended. We have published a direct final action authorizing these changes in the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register because we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the direct final authorization.
If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rulemaking. If we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw the direct final authorization and it will not take effect. We would then address all public comments in a subsequent final action and base any further decision on the authorization of the state program changes after considering all comments received during the comment period.
We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. For further information, please see the information

Parent Company Definition for Toxics Release Inventory TRI Reporting Environmental Protection Agency EPA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:

EPA proposes to codify the definition of parent company for purposes of reporting to the Toxics Release Inventory TRI. Although the existing regulation requires facilities reporting to TRI to identify their parent company in annual reporting forms, no codified definition of this data element exists. Among the facilities reporting to TRI are those with complicated corporate ownership structures. As such, effort is required each year by reporting facilities and EPA to clarify how the parent company data element should be represented on the form. A
codified definition of parent company would allow EPA to address various corporate ownership scenarios explicitly and reduce the reporting burden caused by regulatory uncertainty. This proposed rule would clarify existing regulations to reporting facilities and add a foreign parent company data element, if applicable, while improving the Agencys data quality.
