     As you requested, the Office of Solid Waste  haa  reviewed         *
the subject materials transwitted by the Feftruary 29,  1984        ,     £
me!»or»ndufl! froct Gary  Katz.  I recoonend that  Lee  TtioiMts  concur
in the revised delegation* without cowiaent fro« the RCRA view-
point.

     For the record,  I would point out that one of the
revised delegations would continue to vest in the \asiatant
Administrator for Water the authority to process  "research  and
special incineration-at-sea permits* under the Marine  Protection,
Research and Sanctuaries Act.  Some of these  permits  could  encom-
pass incineration of  RCRA hazardous wastes (e.g., the  'Vulcanua*
permit), suggesting the desirability of OSW participation in a
concurrence/ consultation role.   However,  we  have Been working
with the Office of water in the issuance of these perwits under
an informal arrangement which we  expect will  continue  to serve
both offices well.  Therefore, we see no need to  formalize  this
arrangement oy amending that delegation.

     Thank you for the opportunity to review  these materials.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact
Truett DeGeare (382-2210).
