5-DAY PUBLIC NOTICE AND COMMENT PERIOD SCRAP METAL DEFINITION REVISION
Department of Toxic Substances Control Reference Number: R-2021-08E
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”) proposes to adopt emergency regulations to amend title 22, California Code of Regulations, division 4.5, sections 66260.10, 66261.6, and 66273.9. DTSC proposes to clarify the definition of scrap metal found in sections 66260.10 and 66273.9 by aligning it with the federal definition of scrap metal while also removing duplicative language in the current State definition of scrap metal. DTSC also proposes to amend section 66261.6 to clarify the conditions under which scrap metal may be exempted, as a “recyclable material,” from regulatory requirements of hazardous waste.
