Recovery Act (RCRA) programs and published requirements for States to 
be placed on a compliance schedule to adopt necessary program

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
