SPECIAL CONSOLIDATED CHECKLIST 
	for the
	Toxicity Characteristics Revisions as of December 31, 2002

Notes: 1)  This checklist consolidates the changes to the Federal code addressed by the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) Rule [55 FR 11798; March 29, 1990; Revision Checklist 74] and subsequent revisions which have occurred through December 31, 2002, as follows:

$	Revision Checklist 74 [55 FR 11798 (March 29, 1990), 55 FR 26986 (June 29, 1990)];
$	Revision Checklist 80 [55 FR 40834 (October 5, 1990), 56 FR 3978 (February 1, 1991), 56 FR 13406 (April 2, 1991)];
$	Revision Checklist 84 [56 FR 5910 (February 13, 1991)];
$	Revision Checklist 108 [57 FR 30657 (July 10, 1992)];
$	Revision Checklist 117 B [57 FR 23062 (June 1, 1992)]; and
$	Revision Checklist 119 [57 FR 55114 (November 24, 1992)].

This checklist also includes applicable changes made to the Federal code addressed by the following checklists that are not TC checklists, but which contain revisions to provisions included in the TC program, through December 31, 2002:

$	Revision Checklist 126 [58 FR 46040 (August 31, 1993)];
$	Revision Checklist 157 [62 FR 25998 (May 12, 1997)];
$	Revision Checklist 192 A [66 FR 27266 (May 16, 2001)].

No final rules were promulgated between June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2002 that affected the Toxicity Characteristics revisions.  Therefore, this consolidated checklist is identical to that of June 30, 2001.

Note that there have been several technical corrections to the TC Rule preamble.  An August 2, 1990 (55 FR 31387) notice corrected a typographical error in an implementation timetable found in the TC Rule's preamble.  This error created confusion among small quantity generators regarding their notification responsibilities for TC wastes.  This rule also extended the period of time within which affected small quantity generators must comply with the new modification requirements.  An August 10, 1990 (55 FR 32377) notice corrected the August 2, 1990 notice.  On September 27, 1990, a clarification to the March 29 final rule was published in the Federal Register (55 FR 39409) regarding four implementation issues.  This clarification also only affected the TC Rule preamble.

Note, Revision Checklist 126 (56 FR 46040; August 31, 1993), however, replaced all references to the TCLP in Part 261, Appendix II with a reference to the TCLP in SW-846.  This rule also replaced the TCLP in Part 261, Appendix II with a note referencing this publication that is incorporated by reference at 260.11(a).  This rule is not indicated in the checklist reference column of this consolidated checklist, but it is referenced in the footnote.  This approach was taken because this rule is not a correction to the TC rule per se; but rather it introduced a new method of referencing the TCLP.

2)  Two interim final rules (55 FR 40834; October 5, 1990 and 56 FR 3978; February 1, 1991) and a final rule (56 FR 13406; April 2, 1991) extended the compliance date of the TC Rule for certain hydrocarbon recovery and remediation operations.  This extension is addressed by Revision Checklist 80 and included in this Consolidated Checklist.  Because a less stringent requirement than that imposed by the TC Rule was in effect until January 25, 1993, the incorporation by States of this extension is optional.

3)  States are strongly encouraged to adopt the Permit Modifications Rule (53 FR 37912; September 28, 1988; Revision Checklist 54) and the "Christmas Tree Rule" (54 FR 9596; March 7, 1989; Revision Checklist 61) to ease implementation of the TC Rule and future waste listings.  While both of these rules are optional, they will greatly reduce the immediate permit burden resulting from the TC Rule.

4) Note that double lines are used on the checklist to indicate the beginning and ending of optional provisions with subparagraphs or requirements that must all be adopted if the optional provision is adopted.
