    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating certain regulations for a facility in Baytown, Texas originally owned by Bayer Material Science LLC, which is now owned by Covestro LLC. This update reflects changes in the facility's ownership and name while maintaining the existing waste exclusion rules. The change will be officially effective on March 3, 2025, without a need for a public comment period because the facility will continue to comply with previous requirements. The amendments involve updating certain tables in the hazardous waste regulations to reflect the new ownership.

    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.
