    Proposed Rule. Dismissal Order.
     
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
     
    Sections 7.2 and 22.4(a) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/7.2 and 22.4(a) (2006)) require the Board to adopt regulations that are “identical in substance” to hazardous waste regulations adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). These USEPA rules implement Subtitle C of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA Subtitle C) (42 U.S.C. §§ 6921 et seq. (2005)). USEPA has codified the federal hazardous waste rules as 40 C.F.R. 260 through 266, 268, 270, 271, 273, and 279.
     
    The Board reserved this docket for USEPA amendments during the period January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007. During that time period, USEPA did not amend its RCRA Subtitle C regulations in any way that would require corresponding Board action with regard to the Illinois regulations. The only revision to the federal regulations was a correction of an omission in the 2006 edition of the Code of Federal Regulations that is not necessary in the corresponding Illinois regulation. Therefore, no action is necessary, and the Board dismisses this docket.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, John T. Therriault, Assistant Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board adopted the above order on September 6, 2007, by a vote of 4-0.
