ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
    March 19, 1987
    IN THE MATTER OF:
    RCRA UPDATE, USEPA REGULATIONS
    )
    R86-46
    (7—1—86 THROUGH 9—30—86)
    PROPOSAL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
    PROPOSED ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson):
    Pursuant to Sections 22.4(a) and 22.4(e) of the
    Environmental Protection Act (Act), the Board is proposing to
    amend the RCRA regulations. In accordance with the RCRA
    procedural rules (Section 102.202), the Board invites public
    comment for 45 days after publication of the proposal in the
    Illinois Register.
    On October 9, 1986, the Board opened this docket for the
    purpose of updating the RCRA rules to agree with recent USEPA
    amendments.
    Sections 22.4(a) and 22.4(e) of the Act govern adoption of
    regulations establishing the RCRA program in Illinois. Section
    22.4(a) and 22.4(e) provide for quick adoption of regulations
    which are “identical in substance” to federal regulations.
    Neither Title VII of the Act nor Section 5 of the Administrative
    Procedure Act applies to rules adopted under Section 22.4(a) or
    22.4(e). Because this rulemaking is not subject to Section 5 of
    the Administrative Procedure Act, it is not subject to review by
    the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR). The federal
    RCRA regulations are found at 40 CFR 260 through 270, and 280.
    This rulemaking updates Illinois’ RCRA rules to correspond with
    federal amendments during the period July 1 through September 30,
    1986.
    The Board has adopted a Proposed Opinion supporting this
    Proposed Order in a separate action on this same day.
    The complete text of the proposed amendments is to be
    attached to this Order for distribution to the public. The
    proposal will appear in the Illinois Register in the near
    future. Because of its length, the proposal will not be
    published in the Environmental Register, and will not be placed
    in the Opinion volumes.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
