US environmental regulators correct a typo, extend comment period for Texas waste exclusion

The US environmental regulators fixed a typo in a proposed rule about hazardous waste for a Texas refinery. They also extended the public comment period for that rule by 22 days. This means the public has more time to weigh in on whether the refinery should get an exclusion from hazardous waste rules.

This document is a minor administrative correction, not a structural change. It shows the slow, careful process of environmental regulation, where even small errors require public notice and a chance for comment. The underlying decision about the hazardous waste exclusion for the refinery is still pending.
