April

1993
IN THE MATTER OF:
)
RCRA UPDATE,
USEPA REGULATIONS
)
R93-4
(7/1/92 thru 12/31/92)
)
(Identical
in Substance
Rules)
EXTENSION OF TIME
ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.
Anderson):
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 the USEPA to
implement the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act.
Section 7.2(b)
of the Act requires that identical in substance
rulemakings 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 first USEPA rulemaking
in this batch period was July
1,
1992.
Pursuant to the Act,
the Board’s rulemaking is therefore
due by July
1,
1993.
For the following reasons, the Board hereby
finds that an extension of time is needed,
with October
7,
1993
the anticipated completion date.
Because of certain regulatory overlaps,
the delayed
promulgation of the predecessor R92-1O RCRA update rulemaking
delayed the start-up of this R93-4 rulemaking.
Also, the federal
provisions which this rulemaking addresses contain special
complexities;
for example,
they address changed requirements
for
used and waste oil,
including altered permit requirements.
In
the course of preparing these regulations
as a proposal for
public comment, we have become persuaded that we will have
a
special need for clarification of the federal language in some
important areas,
and that it would be prudent to allow sufficient
pre-adoption time to so do.
Pursuant to Section 7.2(b)
of the Act, this Order will be
published expeditiously in the Illinois Register.
IT IS
SO ORDERED.
