        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Waste Management System: Post-Closure Requirements</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Under the current RCRA regulations, a facility that needs post-closure care must obtain a permit. In many cases, the post-closure permit is an appropriate mechanism for the regulatory agency to use to address the environmental needs at the facility. In other cases, however, a permit may not be appropriate. And, in some cases, the facility's post-closure care needs may have already been addressed through other legal mechanisms, such as enforcement actions or Superfund actions. In these cases, subsequent issuance of a post-closure permit would not provide any environmental benefit, although, under the current regulations, it is still required. This rule would remove the requirements to issue a permit to address post-closure care in all cases. A permit would remain an option, but EPA Regions and authorized States would be able to use other mechanisms as well, depending on the circumstances at the facility. States authorized to implement the RCRA program are currently required to adopt authority to compel corrective action at permitted facilities. They are not required to have similar authority at interim status facilities, though many States do. As a result, the corrective action program is implemented by the State, at some facilities, and by the EPA Regions at other. This rule would require States to adopt, as part of their authorized RCRA programs, authority to address corrective action at interim status facilities. This would result in a more consistent implementation of the corrective action program in the States.]]></ABSTRACT>
