The publisher's summary

The State of Alaska (Alaska or the State) has applied to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the EPA or the Agency) for final authorization of its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended (RCRA). The EPA has reviewed Alaska's application and has made a final determination that Alaska's hazardous waste program satisfies all requirements for final authorization. Thus, the EPA is granting final authorization for the State to operate its program subject to the limitations on its authority retained by the EPA in accordance with RCRA, including the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). Alaska's program will operate in lieu of the Federal hazardous waste program in Alaska; however, the EPA will retain jurisdiction and authority to implement the Federal RCRA program in Indian country and areas of exclusive Federal jurisdiction in Alaska.
