Polychlorinated Biphenyls: Manufacturing (Import) Exemption for Veolia ES Technical Solutions, LLC

On November 14, 2006, Veolia ES Technical Solutions, LLC, (Veolia) submitted a rulemaking petition to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requesting to import up to 20,000 tons of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) waste from Mexico for disposal at Veolia's TSCA-approved facility in Port Arthur, Texas. Based on the information available at that time, EPA proposed to grant Veolia's request in the proposed rule, Polychlorinated Biphenyls: Manufacturing (Import) Exemption for Veolia ES Technical Solutions, LLC. Since that time, Veolia submitted a request to withdraw its petition from the rulemaking process. Due to this request, EPA is withdrawing this proposed rule.
