Mail Code: 5303P Washington DC 20460 Roepe.Wayne@epa.gov https://www.epa.gov/rcra/state-authorization-tracking-system-stats information originator The State Authorization Tracking System (StATS) is an information management system designed to document the progress of each state and territory in establishing and maintaining RCRA-authorized hazardous waste management programs. StATS tracks the status of each state with regard to changes made to the federal hazardous waste regulations. The pages listed at the website show state authorization and adoption information for RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste rules. Adoption information is based on data received from EPA regional offices. Currently, state authorization and adoption percentages are based on the required rules promulgated through RCRA Cluster XXII. Published federal register notices are the only legal mechanism by which EPA grants authorization to the states. If any of the information contained in the StATS database conflicts with information stated in the Federal Register, the Federal Register information will take precedence. We strongly recommend that the regulated community contact their state government office for hazardous waste regulatory information. The purpose of StATS is to document the progress of each state and territory in establishing and maintaining RCRA-authorized hazardous waste management programs. State authorization is a rulemaking process through which the EPA delegates the primary responsibility of implementing the RCRA hazardous waste program to individual states in lieu of the EPA. This process ensures national consistency and minimum standards while providing flexibility to states in implementing rules. Currently, 50 states and territories have been granted authority to implement the base, or initial, program. Many are also authorized to implement additional parts of the RCRA program that the EPA has since promulgated, such as Corrective Action and the Land Disposal Restrictions. State RCRA programs must be at least as stringent as the federal requirements, but states can adopt more stringent requirements as well. The State Authorization Tracking System (StATS) provides the authorization status for all states.
