You will need Adobe Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's PDF page to learn more.
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 below show state authorization and adoption information for RCRA Subtitle C hazardous waste rules. Authorization information is updated on a quarterly basis. Adoption information is updated twice a year, after second and fourth quarter. 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 XVII.

Published federal register notices are the only legal mechanism by which
EPA grants authorization to the states. If any of the information contained
in this 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.
Note about rule adopted
information - EPA is not required to track or evaluate
the adoption of state rules until the state submits an official authorization
package. The adoption information contained in this database is provided
voluntarily by the states and is based on the state government opinion
that the adopted state rule is analogous to the federal rule. It is only
during the authorization process that EPA makes a determination as to
the equivalency of the state analogue. Therefore, a recorded entry "adopted"
indicates that the state program office has notified EPA of a state
analogue to the listed federal rule. A recorded entry "not adopted" indicates
that the state may or may not have adopted an analogous state rule, but
no notice has been given to EPA.
