[EPA–R08–RCRA–2012–0396; FRL–9753–6] 

Colorado: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Solid Waste Disposal Act, 

as amended, commonly referred to as 

the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA), allows the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

to authorize states to operate their 

hazardous waste management programs 

in lieu of the federal program. Colorado 

has applied to the EPA for final 

authorization of changes to its 

hazardous waste program under RCRA. 

The EPA has determined that these 

changes satisfy all requirements needed 

to qualify for final authorization, and is 

authorizing the state’s changes through 

this final action. 

DATES: This final authorization will 

become effective on January 22, 2013 

unless the EPA receives adverse written 

comments by December 21, 2012. If 

adverse written comments are received, 

the EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal of this final rule in the 

Federal Register and inform the public 

that this authorization will not take 

effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Why are revisions to State programs 

necessary? 

States that have received final 

authorization from the EPA under RCRA 

section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must 

maintain a hazardous waste program 

that is equivalent to, consistent with, 

and no less stringent than the federal 

program. As the federal program 

changes, states must change their 

programs and ask the EPA to authorize 

the changes. Changes to state programs 

may be necessary when federal or state 

statutory or regulatory authority is 

modified or when certain other changes 

occur. Most commonly, states must 

change their programs because of 

changes to the EPA’s regulations in 40 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 

124, 260 through 266, 268, 270, 273, and 

279. 

B. What decisions have we made in this 

rule? 

We conclude that Colorado’s 

application to revise its authorized 

program meets all of the statutory and 

regulatory requirements established by 

RCRA. Therefore, we grant Colorado 

Final Authorization to operate its 

hazardous waste program with the 

changes described in the authorization 

application. Colorado has responsibility 

for permitting Treatment, Storage, and 

Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) within its 

borders, except in Indian country, and 

for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA 

program described in its revised 

program application, subject to the 

limitations of the Hazardous and Solid 

Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). 

New federal requirements and 

prohibitions imposed by federal 

regulations that the EPA promulgates 

under the authority of HSWA take effect 

in authorized states before they are 

authorized for the requirements. Thus, 

the EPA will implement those 

requirements and prohibitions in 

Colorado including issuing permits, 

until Colorado is authorized to do so. 

C. What is the effect of today’s 

authorization decision? 

This decision means that a facility in 

Colorado subject to RCRA will now 

have to comply with the authorized 

state requirements instead of the 

equivalent federal requirements in order 

to comply with RCRA. Colorado has 

enforcement responsibilities under its 

state hazardous waste program for 

violations of such program, but the EPA 

retains its authority under RCRA 

sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, 

which include, among others, authority 

to: (1) Conduct inspections, and require 

monitoring, tests, analyses, or reports; 

(2) enforce RCRA requirements, suspend 

or revoke permits, and, (3) take 

enforcement action regardless of 

whether Colorado has taken its own 

actions. 

This action does not impose 

additional requirements on the 

regulated community because the 

regulations for which Colorado is being 

authorized by this action are already 

effective under state law, and are not 

changed by this action. 

D. Why wasn’t there a proposed rule 

before today’s rule? 

The EPA did not publish a proposal 

before this rule because we view this as 

a routine program change. We are 

providing an opportunity for the public 

to comment now. In addition to this 

rule, we are publishing a separate 

document that proposes to authorize the 

state program changes in the proposed 

rules section of today’s Federal 

Register. 

E. What happens if the EPA receives 

comments that oppose this action? 

If the EPA receives comments that 

oppose this authorization, we will 

withdraw this rule by publishing a 

document in the Federal Register before 

the rule becomes effective. We will then 

address all public comments in a later 

Federal Register notice. You may not 

have another opportunity to comment. If 

you want to comment on this 

authorization, you must do so at this 

time. 

If we receive comments that oppose 

only the authorization of a particular 

change to the Colorado hazardous waste 

program, we will withdraw only that 

part of this rule, but the authorization of 

the program changes that the comments 

do not oppose will become effective on 

the date specified in this document. The 

Federal Register withdrawal document 

will specify which part of the 

authorization will become effective, and 

which part is being withdrawn. 

F. For what has Colorado previously 

been authorized? 

Colorado initially received final 

authorization on October 19, 1984, 

effective November 2, 1984 (49 FR 

41036), to implement the RCRA 

hazardous waste management program. 

We granted authorization for changes to 

the state’s program on: October 24, 

1986, effective November 7, 1986 (51 FR 

37729); May 15, 1989, effective July 14, 

1989 (54 FR 20847); May 10, 1991, 

effective July 9, 1991 (56 FR 21601); 

April 7, 1994, effective June 6, 1994 (59 

FR 16568); November 14, 2003, effective 

January 13, 2004 (68 FR 64550) and 

March 12, 2008 (73 FR 13141) effective 

May 12, 2008; August 12, 2009, effective 

October, 13, 2009 (74 FR 40518). 

G. What changes are we approving with 

today’s action? 

Colorado submitted a final complete 

program application on December 21, 

2011, seeking authorization of their 

changes in accordance with 40 CFR 

271.21. Colorado’s revisions consist of 

regulations that govern Federal 

Hazardous Waste revisions promulgated 

from January 8, 2010 through June 4, 

2010 (RCRA Clusters XX). In addition, 

approval today is granted for revisions 

submitted in a prior application. We 

now make a final decision, subject to 

receipt of written comments that oppose 

this action; that Colorado’s hazardous 

waste program revisions satisfy all of 

the requirements necessary to qualify 

for final authorization. Therefore, we 

grant Colorado final authorization for 

the following program changes (the 

federal citation followed by the analog 

from the Code of Colorado Regulations 

(6 CCR 7007–3), revised through 

December 30, 2011):

H. Where are the revised State rules 

different from the Federal rules? 

Colorado has requirements that are 

more stringent than the federal rules at 

262.55, Colorado requires an exception 

report be filed with the Colorado 

Department of Public Health and 

Environment in addition to the required 

submission to the EPA Office of 

Enforcement and Compliance 

Assurance. Colorado is more stringent 

in Checklist 151. Colorado has not 

adopted a state analog to 40 CFR 

268.1(c)(3). Colorado does not allow for 

the disposal of hazardous waste in 

underground injection wells. Pursuant 

to state law, Section 25–15–205(3), 

C.R.S., the disposal of liquid hazardous 

waste in Colorado is strictly prohibited. 

This prohibition includes the disposal 

of hazardous waste in injection wells. 

Colorado is broader-in-scope than the 

federal rules at: 261.32 (K140) and 261 

Appendix VII (K901 & K902), 261 

Appendix VIII (P909, P910 and P911) 

and 268.40/table (K140, U408, K901, 

K902, P910 &P911). 

I. Who issues and administers permits 

after the authorization takes effect? 

Colorado will issue permits for all the 

provisions for which it is authorized 

and will administer the permits it 

issues. The EPA will continue to 

administer any RCRA hazardous waste 

permits or portions of permits that were 

issued prior to the effective date of this 

authorization until Colorado has 

equivalent instruments in place. We 

will not issue any new permits or new 

portions of permits for the provisions 

listed in the Table in this document 

after the effective date of this 

authorization. The EPA will continue to 

implement and issue permits for HSWA 

requirements for which Colorado is not 

yet authorized. 

J. How does today’s action affect Indian 

Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in Colorado? 

Colorado is not authorized to carry 

out its hazardous waste program in 

Indian country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 

1151. This includes: (1) Lands within 

the exterior boundaries of the following 

Indian reservations located within or 

abutting the state of Colorado, (a) 

Southern Ute Indian Reservation and (b) 

Ute Mountain Ute Indian Reservation; 

(2) any land held in trust by the United 

States for an Indian tribe, and (3) any 

other areas that are ‘‘Indian country’’ 

within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1151. 

Therefore, this program revision does 

not extend to Indian country where the 

EPA will continue to implement and 

administer the RCRA program. 

K. What is codification and is the EPA 

codifying Colorado’s hazardous waste 

program as authorized in this rule? 

Codification is the process of placing 

the state’s statutes and regulations that 

comprise the state’s authorized 

hazardous waste program into the CFR, 

which occurs when the EPA references 

the authorized state rules in 40 CFR part 

272. We reserve the amendment of 40 

CFR part 272, subpart G, for this 

authorization of Colorado’s program 

changes until a later date. The EPA is 

not codifying the rules documented in 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with RULES
69768 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 225 / Wednesday, November 21, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

this Federal Register notice in this 

authorization application. 

L. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has exempted this action from 

the requirements of Executive Order 

12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) 

and, therefore, this action is not subject 

to review by OMB. This action 

authorizes Colorado state requirements 

for the purpose of RCRA 3006, and 

imposes no additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by Colorado state 

law. Accordingly, I certify that this 

action will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.). Because this action authorizes 

pre-existing requirements under state 

law and does not impose any additional 

enforceable duty beyond that required 

by state law, it does not contain any 

unfunded mandate or significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments, as 

described in the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4). For 

the same reason, this action also does 

not significantly or uniquely affect the 

communities of Tribal governments, as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This 

action will not have substantial direct 

effects on the states, on the relationship 

between the national government and 

the states, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government, as 

specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 

FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it 

merely authorizes state requirements as 

part of the state RCRA hazardous waste 

program without altering the 

relationship or the distribution of power 

and responsibilities established by 

RCRA. This action also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it is not 

economically significant and it does not 

make decisions based on environmental 

health or safety risks. This rule is not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355 (May 

22, 2001)) because it is not a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866. 

Under RCRA 3006(b), the EPA grants 

a state’s application for authorization as 

long as the state meets the criteria 

required by RCRA. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for the 

EPA, when it reviews a state 

authorization application, to require the 

use of any particular voluntary 

consensus standard in place of another 

standard that otherwise satisfies the 

requirements of RCRA. Thus, the 

requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply. As required by 

section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 

FR 4729, February 7, 1996), in issuing 

this rule, the EPA has taken the 

necessary steps to eliminate drafting 

errors and ambiguity, minimize 

potential litigation, and provide a clear 

legal standard for affected conduct. The 

EPA has complied with Executive Order 

12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988) by 

examining the takings implications of 

the rule in accordance with the 

‘‘Attorney General’s Supplemental 

Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk 

and Avoidance of Unanticipated 

Takings’’ issued under the Executive 

Order. This rule does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. The EPA will 

submit a report containing this 

document and other required 

information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. 

House of Representatives, and the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication in the 

Federal Register. A major rule cannot 

take effect until 60 days after it is 

published in the Federal Register. This 

action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined 

by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This action will be 

effective January 22, 2013.
