NOTICE OF PUBLIC INFORMATION PURSUANT TO 415 ILCS

In this Notice of Public Information under Section 7
.2(b) of the Illinois Environmental Protection
Act (Act), 415 ILCS 5/7.2(b)
(2006), the Board explains why it has extended until October 1,
2007, the deadline for adoption and filing of rules in the following consolidated identical in
substance rulemaking
:
RCRA Subtitle C Update, USEPA Amendments (January 1, 2006 though
June 30, 2006)
R07-5 ;
RCRA Subtitle C Update, USEPA Amendments (July 1, 2006 though
December 31, 2006)
R07-14 (consolidated)
. The Board has not yet adopted a proposal for public
comment in this rulemaking, so there has been no
Illinois Register
publication in this
consolidated docket
. The Board anticipates that it will adopt a proposal for public comment at
its May 3, 2007 meeting, and that the proposal will be filed by May 14, 2007 with the Secretary
of State's Index Department for publication in the June 1, 2007
Illinois
Register . If these events
timely occur and no additional delay is required to adequately respond to public comments, the
Board anticipates adoption of final rules at its August 23, 2007 meeting
. Because the Board
holds adopted RCRA Subtitle C rulemakings for 30 days for USEPA review, the Board
anticipates filing the adopted amendments with the Secretary of State's Index Department by
October 1, 2007 .
On January 26, 2007, the Board adopted an order to consolidate these identical in substance
RCRA rulemakings
. In that order the Board also found it necessary to extend the one-year
period for completion of these amendments
. The adoption deadline, based on the first federal
action in docket R07-5, originally was April 4, 2007
. The Board found that the statutory one-
year period in this consolidated docket was insufficient for completion of the amendments
.
The Board was unable to initiate this rulemaking earlier due to the unusually high demands on
staff resources over the last several months as a result of a greatly increased volume of complex
federal rulemaking, e.g.
the very recently completed consolidated underground injection control,
municipal solid waste landfill, and hazardous waste update docket, R06-16/R06-17/R06-18
.
Additionally, the consolidated rulemakings involves a large volume of text
. While the
consolidation of the rulemaking dockets added to the volume of the rulemaking, the Board found
that the closely related subject matter in the two dockets would be best if handled at the same
time, especially as there is some overlap in the provisions involved in the separate federal
actions.
