Sec. 2.

(a) Any person may petition the commissioner to exclude a waste or waste derived material at a particular facility from 40 CFR 261.3 or 40 CFR 261, Subpart D, as incorporated by this article. In addition to the general petition requirements in this section, a petition must include the additional requirements of section 3 of this rule.

(b) Each petition must be submitted to the commissioner by certified mail and must include:

(1) the petitioner's name and address;

(2) a statement of the petitioner's interest in the proposed action;

(3) a description of the proposed action, including suggested rule language where appropriate; and

(4) a statement of the need and justification for the proposed action, including any supporting tests, studies, or other information.

(c) The commissioner will make a tentative recommendation for rulemaking to grant or deny a petition and will publish notice of such tentative recommendation in the Indiana Register for written public comment as provided in IC 13-14-9.

(d) Upon the written request of any interested person, the commissioner may hold an informal public hearing to consider oral comments on the tentative decision. A person requesting a hearing must state the issues to be raised and explain why written comments would not suffice to communicate the person's views. The commissioner may in any case decide to hold an informal public hearing.

(e) After evaluating all public comments, the commissioner will publish notice of the recommendation for rulemaking to grant or deny the petition in the Indiana Register as provided in IC 13-14-9.

(f) As provided in IC 13-14-8-5, any person may present a proposal to exclude a waste at a particular facility from 40 CFR 261.3 or 40 CFR 261, Subpart D, as incorporated by this article. In addition to the requirements of IC 13-14-8-5, a proposal must include the additional requirements of section 3 of this rule.

(g) Where the administrator of the U.S EPA has:

(1) excluded a waste at a particular facility from regulation under 40 CFR 260 through 40 CFR 273; and

(2) described that waste and the conditions under which that waste is excluded in 40 CFR 261, Appendix IX; that waste is no longer a hazardous waste as long as the conditions for exclusion of the waste described in 40 CFR 261, Appendix IX are met.

(h) Where the administrator of the U.S EPA has granted a general rulemaking petition or a petition for equivalent testing or analytical method pursuant to 40 CFR 260.20 and 40 CFR 260.21, the board may, at its discretion, accept such determination and amend this article accordingly provided that the petitioner can furnish appropriate evidence of the administrator's actions and the board determines that granting such a petition is consistent with policies outlined in IC 13-14.
