Office of Waste and Chemical Management Chuck Clarke, Regional Administrator This memo is requesting your approval for a final,rulemaking decision on a revision to the" State of Washington; s federally authorized Hazardous Waste, Program. Washington is seeking authorization for 91 federa1":rules. It is the State's responsibility to revise it's authorized program with Federal program changes and to ask EPA'to authorize these program changes. On January 31, 1986 Washington State received it's initial authorization and has since received approval for five program revisions. On July 27, 1999 EPA received an official**~revis~on** 

### application from Tom Fitzsimmons, 'Director, Department of Ecology, requesting EPA's approval 'for these program changes. The authorization revision application includes the 91 federal rules and the analogous Washington state authorities that have been legally adopted and were effective as of February 11, ", ,. 1998. The major rules being authorized include .mostof the Lanct::;;", Disposal Restrictions Requirements; Wood'**Preserv·t~g**
