Subject: Your Comments on EPA's Academic Lab Rule
TIME SENSITIVE: The Campus Safety, Health and Environmental
Management Association (CSHEMA) requests that youóor your college or
universityósend the Environmental Protection Agency a comment on
their proposal to create a new, optional set of hazardous waste
regulations for academic laboratories. EPAís proposal is a rare
opportunity for higher education to create regulations that better
fit colleges and universities. At http://www.cshema.org/committee/
Govtrelations/academiclabrule.htm you will find more information, a
ìSample Comment Letter,î and ìCSHEMAís 8/5/06 Comment Letter,î which
was drafted by dozens of expert EHS professionals.
Comments are due to EPA by August 21 and may be submitted
electronically:
∑ Via http://www.regulations.gov by following the on-line
instructions and identifying them by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-RCRA
2003-0012 or EPA-2050 AG 18 RCRA-2003-0012.
∑ Or by sending an email to RCRA-docket**At_Symbol_Here**epamail.epa.gov and
making them, ìAttention Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-RCRA-2003-0012 or
EPA-2050 AG 18 RCRA-2003-0012î
By mail, comment letters may be sent to:
OSWER Docket
EPA Docket Center Mailcode: 5305T
Environmental Protection Agency
1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW.
Washington, DC 20460
ìAttention Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-RCRA-2003-0012 or EPA-2050 AG 18
RCRA-2003-0012.î
We very much encourage letters in support of CSHEMAís letter. Your
letter would be most effective, however, if you would call out the
priorities for your college or university. EPA COUNTS COMMENTS, so
please help us maximize the number of comments sent to EPA. Several
colleges, universities and organizations representing higher
education are planning to endorse CSHEMAís letter.
