Summary:  This rule amends the recordkeeping instructions in Appendix I of Part 264 and Appendix I of Part 265 so that unit of measurement codes and handling codes, used by hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities to maintain records on-site, match the codes used by these facilities on the Part A Permit Application Form.  This technical amendment also adds handling codes for the proper recording of those processes relating to Boilers and Industrial Furnaces and Miscellaneous Units facilities.  The Agency intends this amendment to encourage the consistent recordkeeping and reporting of information by hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities.

State Authorization:  This rule is placed in RCRA Cluster IV; the changes addressed by it were promulgated under non-HSWA authority.  Thus, this regulation is immediately applicable only in states that do not have final authorization for a base RCRA program.  For states that are authorized for a base program, these changes do not go into effect until States become authorized for them.  Only final authorization is available.  The State modification deadline is July 1, 1995 (or July 1, 1996 if a State statutory change is necessary).

The State Revision Application must include applicable regulations, AG statement addendum, Revision Checklist 131, other associated checklists and other application materials, i.e. a program description and an MOA, as determined by the Regional office.
