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.
