Technical Report · Fri May 30 04:00:00 EDT 1986

OSTI ID:5352701

Section 17 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act Amendments of 1980 (P.L. 96482) added Section 3013 to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA). The directive provides guidance on the use of that section and replaces earlier guidance issued September 11, 1981. Under current delegation authority Section 3013 Administrative Orders are issued by Regional Administrator (RAs) with the advance concurrence of the Director, Office of Waste Programs Enforcement (OWPE) except in cases of national significance or multi-regional cases. Then the director, OWPE, issues the Orders. The Assistant Administrator for Enforcement and Compliance Monitoring (OECM), consults as requested on orders, refers Section 3013 judicial actions to the Department of Justice, and sends notices of such actions to the appropriate RA and the Director OWPE. Further redelegation is currently under review.
