### STATUTORY CERTIFICATION
I hereby certify that statutes relied on in previously approved authorization application s have not been amended, modified or revised by statute orjudicial decision in a way that diminishes and interferes with the authority to carry out the previously authorized hazardous waste program to meet the requirements of 40 CFR Part 271 , Subpart A

. The s tatutory authorities for Maryland are documented in the State's Attorney General Statements dated June 4, 1984, November 12, 2000 and November 14, 2002, as well as Maryland Legislation Checklist and the Maryland Statutory Checklist

. Note that Section 7

- 207 of the State Government Article, which is now referenced in Section XV1.5 of the RCRA Statutory Checklist, was amended in 

### 2005 to allow prospective incorporation by reference of federal regulations, but the Maryland Department of the Environment , Land Management Administration bas not made use of this authority to-date for regulations that constitute the State' s hazardous waste regulatory program.
