Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
During American Ecology Corporation’s (the “Company”) third quarter of 2006 earnings conference call held on October 18, 2006, the Company disclosed that revenues attributable to its Honeywell International Jersey City contract (“Honeywell”) were approximately 46% of total revenues for the third quarter of 2006. The Company had previously disclosed that revenues for the second quarter of 2006 attributable to Honeywell contract were approximately 43%.
 
The calculation used in the second quarter of 2006 was not consistent with the calculation used in the third quarter of 2006. The calculation of Honeywell revenue as a percent of total revenue for the second quarter of 2006 included revenues deferred under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In contrast, the Honeywell revenue as a percent of total revenue calculation disclosed during the third quarter 2006 earnings conference call excluded all deferred revenue under GAAP.
 
To address this inconsistency between the second and third quarter of 2006 Honeywell contract revenue calculations, the Company is disclosing revenue attributable from Honeywell as a percent of total revenue using both methods for the second and third quarters of 2006 in the table below. Going forward, Honeywell contract revenue will be reported excluding deferred revenue. Further, the table below presents a revision to the Honeywell revenue as a percent of total revenues for the third quarter of 2006 from the percentage disclosed during the earnings conference call, lowering this percentage from approximately 46% of total revenues to 45% of total revenues.
