SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Final authorization to implement the Federal hazardous waste
program within a State is granted by USEPA if the Agency finds that the
State program: (1) Is ``equivalent'' to the Federal program; (2) is
``consistent'' with the Federal program and other State programs; and
(3) provides for adequate enforcement (section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C.
6926(b)). USEPA regulations for final authorization appear at 40 CFR
271.1 through 271.25. In order to retain authorization, a State must
revise its program to adopt new Federal requirements by the cluster
deadlines and procedures specified in 40 CFR 271.21. See 51 FR 33712,
September 22, 1986, for a complete discussion of these procedures and
deadlines.
B. Ohio
Ohio received final authorization of its base hazardous waste
program on June 30, 1989 (54 FR 27173). The State received
authorization for program revisions effective June 7,1991, (56 FR
14203) and August 19, 1991 (56 FR 28088).
C. Wisconsin
Wisconsin received final authorization for its base hazardouswaste
program on January 31, 1986 (51 FR 3783). Wisconsin received subsequent
authorization for revisions to its program that became effective on
June 6, 1989 (54 FR 22278), January 22, 1990 (54 FR 48243), and April
24, 1992 (57 FR 15029).
D. Schedules
The States have agreed to obtain the needed hazardous waste program
revisions. Pursuant to 40 CFR 271.21, USEPA expects the States to have
