IN THE MATTER OF:

)

RCRA UPDATE,

USEPA REGULATIONS

)

R87—39

(7—1—87 THROUGH 12—31—87)

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J.

Anderson):

On June

16,

1988, the Board adopted an Opinion and Order

amending the RCRA regulations.

The Order provided that the Board

would withhold filing of the rules

for

30 days to allow time for

motions for reconsideration by the agencies involved

in the

authorization process.

On July 21, 1988,

the United States

Environmental Protection Agency filed

a final comment indicating

no objection to filing of the rules.

On July 22, 1988,

the

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency

(Agency)

filed

a request

for extension of time to file

a motion

for reconsideration,

and

on August

1,

1988

a motion for reconsideration.

The Board initiated the process of filing the rules on July

19,

1988.

Although the rules were not accepted for filing prior

to receipt of the Agency request for extension, granting

the

extension would have involved recalling the package from the

Administrative Code Unit.

The motion

is now denied as moot.

The motion for reconsideration addresses the multi—state

questions discussed

in the Opinion in connection with Sections

728.140 and 728.142.

The motion does not object

to the text of

the rules as filed.

As discussed

in the Opinion,

USEPA forwarded this question

to headquarters, but indicated that the rules will be

acceptable.

In that the Board anticipates hearing more about

this in the future,

the Board will not further address the

question

in this Docket.

The Board will docket the Agency’s

motion as public comment in R88—l6.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted on

the £~I~day of

______________,

1988,

by

a vote

of
