# diii!
SUBJECT: Idaho's Revised Authorization Application for Clusters I, II, and III Enclosed you will find two copies and the original of Idaho's Revised Authorization Application for Clusters I, II, and III. 

# • I thank you for your diligence throughout this process. I am certain that our open and cooperative working relationship was paramount to successfully completing a streamlined authorization package. Most notably, this package contains only useful, and required information. Referencing documents that contain key informationgreatly simplified the process. As changes are made to Idaho's authorized RCRA program, the appropriate document can be updated. In the spirit of future streamlining, updated documents have been added as appendices to the program description thus allowing for insertion ofthe appropriate revised document. The methodology applied to this package can be summarized as being aligned with EPA's new Common Sense Initiative. The original Idaho Revised Authorization Application is clipped together. This package contains the signed copies of the Attorney General's Statement, Memorandum of Agreement, and the Compliance Assurance Agreement. Please send me a copy of each of these signed pages when Region 

### X completes appropriate counter-signatures. It has been a pleasure working with you on this project, I have appreciated the assistance that you have provided. Your superior understanding of the authorization process and willingness to work closely with me has made this task much more manageable. I look forward to hearing from you when you receive this package (please give me a call) and I will gladly provide you with any additional information or assistance necessary to complete Idaho's authorization for Clusters I, II, and III.
