SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) is
providing notice that it has responded to a petition for
reconsideration of the final rule, ``Regulation of Oil-Bearing
Hazardous Secondary Materials from the Petroleum Refining Industry

petition along with information contained in the rulemaking docket in

the petitioners issued in November 2008. The letter explains EPA's
reasons for the denial. Section 7006(a) of the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) states, in pertinent part, that judicial review
of the denial of any petition for the amendment or repeal of any
regulation under the Act may be filed only in the United States Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit within 90 days of the
denial.
