               Chairman
               The Honorable Max Baucus
               Ranking Minority Member

               Subject: Environmental Protection Agency: Hazardous Waste Management System;
                         Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste; Petroleum Refining
                         Process Wastes; Land Disposal Restrictions for Newly Identified Wastes;
                         and CERCLA Hazardous Substance Designation and Reportable
                         Quantities

               Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on
               a major rule promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency, entitled
               Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of Hazardous
               Waste; Petroleum Refining Process Wastes; Land Disposal Restrictions for Newly
               Identified Wastes; and CERCLA Hazardous Substance Designation and Reportable
               Quantities (RIN: 2050-AD88). We received the rule on July 17, 1998. It was
               published in the Federal Register as a final rule on August 6, 1998. 63 Fed. Reg.
               42110.

               The final rule, among other actions, amends the EPA's regulations for hazardous
               waste management under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act by listing as
               hazardous four wastes generated during petroleum refining. It also contains EPA's
               decision not to list ten other petroleum refining wastes.
