    EXTENSION OF TIME
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Anderson):
    The Board entered a Proposed Opinion and Order
    in this RCRA
    Update Docket on May 7,
    1992.
    The
    proposed rules will appear in
    the Illinois Register on June 19,
    1992.
    Section 22.4(a)
    of the Environmental ProtectIon Act
    (Act)
    requires the Board to adopt regulations which are identical in
    substance to federal regulations promulgated by USEPA to
    implement the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
    Section 7.2(b)
    of the Act requires that identical in substance
    ruleiuakings be completed within one year after the first USEPA
    action in any six month batch period.
    If the Board is unable to
    do so it must find that an “extension of time”
    is necessary,
    give
    the reasons why the one year period is insufficient for
    completion of the rulemaking,
    publish the finding and reasons in
    the Illinois Register and specify a date when the Board
    anticipates completion of the rulemaking.
    The Board hereby finds that an extension of time is needed.
    September
    3,
    1992 is the anticipated completion date and the
    reasons are as follows:
    The earliest Federal Register encompassed in this Docket is
    the July 1,
    1991, corrections to the liability insurance
    requirements, which appeared at 56 Fed. Reg 30200.
    However, the
    public comment period on this proposal will not be over until
    August 13,
    1992.
    The next Board meeting after that will be
    September 3, 1992.
    On January 9,
    1992,
    the Board entered an extension of time
    Order in R9l-13, the RCRA Update for the period January 1 through
    June 30,
    1991.
    The reasons for that extension included the size
    of R9l—l3 and R91-3.
    The delays
    in R91—13 have resulted in
    delays in this Docket, which depends on finalization of R91-13
    for its base text.
    Pursuant to Section 7.2(b) of the Act, this Order will be
    published expeditiously in the Illinois
    Register.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
