  • 2024-30401 — Lead Wheel Weights; Petition for Rulemaking Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA); Decision Not To Proceed With a Rulemaking
    Type:Proposed Rule
    Citation:89 FR 104486
    Reading Time:about 35 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has decided not to create a rule to regulate lead in wheel-balancing weights under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). This decision follows a citizen petition from 2009 asking for such regulation and a subsequent mandamus petition in 2023. After reviewing data and conducting analyses, the EPA found the potential risks to human health and the environment from lead wheel weights to be low. Instead, the agency will consider these materials as part of a broader evaluation of lead and lead compounds, which are identified for future prioritization actions.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA decided not to make new rules about lead weights used on car wheels because they found that the risk to people and the environment is very low. They still plan to keep looking into lead and might do something about it later.

    Reading Time:about 2 minutes

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to grant the State of Utah authorization for revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). These changes meet all necessary requirements for final approval, and the EPA plans to enforce them through direct action, which is detailed in the "Rules and Regulations" section of the Federal Register. The EPA will also include Utah's authorized hazardous waste program in the Code of Federal Regulations. Comments on this proposal must be submitted by January 22, 2025. If no opposing comments are received, the rule will become effective as planned.

    Simple Explanation

    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to let Utah make some changes to its rules about handling dangerous waste, and if no one disagrees by a certain date, these changes will become official rules.
