April

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.
