Summary of EPA Meeting with API

March 27, 2007

On Tuesday, March 27, 2007, Matt Hale, Director of the Office of Solid
Waste met with the American Petroleum Institute (API). The supplemental
proposed rule was only briefly discussed, as it was one of several
agenda items for the meeting. API complimented EPA for thoughtfully
considering comments submitted on the 2003 proposal and expressed their
intentions of submitting comments on the 2007 re-proposal. Specifically,
API plans to comment where EPA suggests additional conditions for the
exclusions because the group believes too many conditions would be
overly burdensome. API also urged EPA to finalize the rule as quickly as
possible.
