PREFACE
This quarterly report reviews Agency progress in meeting its priority
program commitments. The report is a major component of the Agency

timely guidance to the field, identify measures of success and track
progress against them. Each quarter the Office of Management Systems
and Evaluation publishes the report using information provided by
Headquarters, regional offices and state agencies. The Office of
Compliance Analysis and Program Operations is responsible for the

We gratefully acknowledge the assistance and cooperation of the many
people throughout the environmental protection management network who

RCRA - PROGRESS ON ADDRESSING LAND DISPOSAL FACILITIES
IN SIGNIFICANT NONCOMPLIANCE
o THE BEGINNING-OF-YEAR SIGNIFICANT NONCOMPLIER UNIVERSE (774) FOR THE
RCRA ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM HAS BEEN ADJUSTED DOWNWARD TO REFLECT
FACILITIES IN REGION IX WHICH WERE ACTUALLY IN COMPLIANCE AT THE
BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. THE UNIVERSE OF SNC's NOW TOTALS 755 LAND
DISPOSAL FACILITIES.
o THE PROGRAM EXCEEDED ITS CUMULATIVE THIRD QUARTER TARGET FOR ADDRESS-
ING SNC's. NINETY-SIX WERE PENDING AT THE END OF THE QUARTER AGAINST
THE PROGRAM GOAL OF HAVING 110 PENDING.
O THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE 755 SNC's IN THE FIXED BASE AT THE END OF
THE THIRD QUARTER IS AS FOLLOWS:
- 102 (14%) RETURNED TO PHYSICAL COMPLIANCE;
- 307 (41%) ARE UNDER A FINAL, EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER,
COURT JUDGMENT OR CONSENT DECREE;
- 250 (33%) HAVE RECEIVED AN INITIAL ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL
COMPLAINT; AND,
96 (13%) ARE PENDING.

IMPLEMENTATION OF REGISTRATION STANDARDS
THIS IS A REVISED MEASURE TO MORE ACCURATELY ASSESS PROGRESS FROM
THE INTERIM REGISTRATION STANDARD (RS) TO THE FINAL REGULATORY
STANDARD AND TOLERANCE REASSESSMENT (FRSTR).
A RS ENTERS PRE-STAGE 1 WHEN IT HAS BEEN SIGNED AND REMAINS THERE
UNTIL ALL REGISTRANT RESPONSES HAVE BEEN PROCESSED. EIGHT RSs
ENTERED PRE-STAGE 1 IN BOTH THE SECOND AND THIRD QUARTER, EXCEEDING
A CUMULATIVE TARGET OF 12. 56 RSs ARE IN THE PRE-STAGE 1 BASELINE,
AS OF 6/30/87.
STAGE 1 IS REACHED WHEN COMMITMENTS FOR ALL OF THE GENERIC DATA
REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE AND THERE ARE NO OVERDUE GENERIC DATA
REQUIREMENTS, OR ACTION HAS BEEN INITIATED TO REMOVE PRODUCTS OR
UNSUPPORTED USES OF THE CHEMICAL FROM THE MARKETPLACE.
- DURING THE THIRD QUARTER, OPTS EXCEEDED ITS TARGET OF SEVEN WITH
18 RSS REACHING STAGE 1. 85 RSs ARE IN STAGE 1 BASELINE, AS OF
6/30/87.
STAGE 2 IS REACHED WHEN ALL DATA TO FULFILL GENERIC DATA COMMITMENTS
HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED. DURING THE SECOND AND THIRD QUARTERS THREE
CHEMICALS REACHED STAGE 2, EXCEEDING ITS END-OF-YEAR TARGET OF ONE.
19 RSS ARE IN STAGE 2 BASELINE, AS OF 6/30/87.
STAGE 3 IS REACHED WHEN ALL STUDIES HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED, REVIEWED,
AND ACCEPTED, AND A FINAL REGULATORY POSITION HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED.
THE COMPLETION OF A FRSTR DURING FY 1987 IS NOT TARGETED UNTIL
THE FOURTH QUARTER. TWO FRSTRs (METOLACHLOR AND ALLIETTE) ARE
IN STAGE 3 BASELINE AS OF 6/30/87.

O FOUR RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIONS WERE COMPLETED DURING THE THIRD
QUARTER. THESE ACTIONS WERE TWO SECTION 5 SNURs (NFRM) ON MBK AND
11-AMINOUNDECANOIC ACID, A POLICY ON PCB'S: HOW CLEAN IS CLEAN, AND
A NPRM ON ASBESTOS - CONTAINING MATERIALS IN SCHOOLS.
* A FINAL RISK MANAGEMENT ACTION IS A SECTION 6 FINAL RULEMAKING
