PART 271--REQUIREMENTS FOR AUTHORIZATION OF STATE HAZARDOUS WASTE PROGRAMS--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart A--Requirements for Final Authorization
 
Sec. 271.6  Program description.

    Any State that seeks to administer a program under this subpart 
shall submit a description of the program it proposes to administer in 
lieu of the Federal program under State law or under an interstate 
compact. The program description shall include:
    (a) A description in narrative form of the scope, structure, 
coverage and processes of the State program.
    (b) A description (including organization charts) of the 
organization and structure of the State agency or agencies which will 
have responsibility for administering the program, including the 
information listed below. If more than one agency is responsible for 
administration of a program, each agency must have statewide 
jurisdiction over a class of activities. The responsibilities of each 
agency must be delineated, their procedures for coordination set forth, 
and an agency must be designated as a ``lead agency'' to facilitate 
communications between EPA and the State agencies having program 
responsibilities. When the State proposes to administer a program of 
greater scope of coverage than is required by Federal law, the 
information provided under this paragraph shall indicate the resources 
dedicated to administering the Federally required portion of the 
program.
    (1) A description of the State agency staff who will carry out the 
State program, including the number, occupations, and general duties of 
the employees. The State need not submit complete job descriptions for 
every employee carrying out the State program.
    (2) An itemization of the estimated costs of establishing and 
administering the program, including cost of the personnel listed in 
paragraph (b)(1) of this section, cost of administrative support, and 
cost of technical support. This estimate must cover the first two years 
after program approval.
    (3) An itemization of the sources and amounts of funding, including 
an estimate of Federal grant money, available to the State Director to 
meet the costs listed in paragraph (b)(2) of this section, identifying 
any restrictions or limitations upon this funding. This estimate must 
cover the first two years after program approval.
    (c) A description of applicable State procedures, including 
permitting procedures and any State administrative or judicial review 
procedures.
    (d) Copies of the permit form(s), application form(s), and reporting 
form(s) the State intends to employ in its program. Forms used by the 
State for hazardous waste management need not be identical to the forms 
used by EPA but should require the same basic information, except that 
the State RCRA program must require the use of EPA Manifest Forms 8700-
22 and 8700-22A. Where the State preprints information on the Manifest 
forms, such forms must be submitted with the State's application for 
approval. Restrictions on preprinting by the States are identified in 40 
CFR 271.10(h). Otherwise, the State need not provide copies of uniform 
national forms it intends to use but should note its intention to use 
such forms.
    (e) A complete description of the State's compliance tracking and 
enforcement program.
    (f) A description of the State manifest tracking system, and of the 
procedures the State will use to coordinate information with other 
approved State programs and the Federal program regarding interstate and 
international shipments.
    (g) An estimate of the number of the following:
    (1) Generators;
    (2) Transporters; and
    (3) On- and off-site storage, treatment and disposal facilities, and 
a brief description of the types of facilities and an indication of the 
permit status of these facilities.
    (h) If available, an estimate of the annual quantities of hazardous 
wastes generated within the State; transported into and out of the 
State; and

stored, treated, or disposed of within the State: On-site; and Off-site.
