Action
Final rule; confirmation of effective date and compliance dates.
Summary
On September 22, 1994, RSPA published a final rule to extend the compliance dates for classification, hazard communication, and packaging requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations applicable to infectious substances, including regulated medical waste. The effective date of the rule was September 22, 1994, unless RSPA received, by September 30, 1994, any comments illustrating that an extension of the compliance dates is not in the public interest. RSPA received two comments opposing the extension, but containing no specific information to support that an extension of the compliance dates is not in the public interest. Therefore, this document confirms that the compliance dates are extended as set forth in the September 22, 1994 final rule, and the effective date of that final rule is September 22, 1994.
