    PROPOSAL FOR
    PUBLIC COMMENT
    PROPOSED ORDER
    OF THE BOARD
    (by
    R.
    Flemal):
    Pursuant to Section 22.4(a)
    of the Environmental
    Protection Act
    (Act),
    the Board
    is proposing to
    amend
    the RCRA hazardous waste
    regulations.
    Section 22.4
    of the Act governs adoption of “egulations establishing the
    RCRA program
    in
    Illinois.
    Section 22.4(a)
    provides
    for quick adoption
    of
    “egulations which are
    “identical
    in
    substance”
    to
    federal
    regulations;
    Section 22.4(a)
    provides that Title
    VII
    of the Act
    and Section
    5
    of the
    Administrative Procedure Act shall
    not apply.
    Because this rulemaking
    is
    not
    subject
    to Section
    5
    of the Administrative Procedure Act,
    it
    is not subject
    to
    first
    notice
    or to second notice
    review by the Joint Comittee
    on
    Administrative Rules
    (JCAR).
    The
    federal
    RCRA regulations
    are
    found
    at
    40 CFR
    260 through
    270.
    This rulemaking makes technical
    changes
    to the Board’s
    hazardous waste delisting procedures,
    based
    on USEPA’s delegation
    of delisting
    authority to Illinois
    at
    55 Fed. Reg.
    7320,
    March
    1,
    1990.
    This Proposed Order
    is
    supported by
    a Proposed Opinion adopted this
    same
    day.
    The text of the proposed amendments will
    be attached
    to this Order.
    The
    complete text will appear
    in the Illinois Register
    in the
    near future.
    The
    Board
    will
    receive public comment
    on the
    proposal
    for
    a period
    of
    45
    days
    after the date of publication
    in the Illinois Register.
