K. What Is Codification and Is EPA 

Codifying Delaware’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 Code 

of Federal Regulations. We do this by 

referencing the authorized State rules in 

40 CFR part 272. We reserve the 

amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart 

I, for this authorization of Delaware’s 

program revisions until a later date. 

L. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This rule only authorizes hazardous 

waste requirements pursuant to RCRA 

section 3006 and imposes no 

requirements other than those imposed 

by State law (see Supplementary 

Information: section A. Why are 

Revisions to State Programs Necessary?). 

Therefore, this rule complies with 

applicable executive orders and 

statutory provisions as follows. 1. 

Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning Review—The Office of 

Management and Budget has exempted 

this rule from its review under 

Executive Order 12866. 2. Paperwork 

Reduction Act—This rule does not 

impose an information collection 

burden under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act. 3. Regulatory Flexibility Act—After 

considering the economic impacts of 

today’s rule on small entities under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that 

this rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. 4. Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act—Because this 

rule approves 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. 5. 

Executive Order 13132: Federalism—

Executive Order 13132 does not apply 

to this rule because it will not have 

federalism implications (i.e., 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). 6. Executive 

Order 13175: Consultation and 

Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments—Executive Order 13175 

does not apply to this rule because it 

will not have tribal implications (i.e.,

substantial direct effects on one or more 

Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes). 

7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health & 

Safety Risks—This rule is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 because it is not 

economically significant and it is not 

based on health or safety risks. 8. 

Executive Order 13211: Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use—This rule is not 

subject to Executive Order 13211 

because it is not a significant regulatory 

action as defined in Executive Order 

12866. 9. National Technology Transfer 

and Advancement Act—EPA approves 

State programs as long as they meet 

criteria required by RCRA, so it would 

be inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA, in its review of a State program, 

to require the use of any particular 

voluntary consensus standard in place 

of another standard that meets the 

requirements of RCRA. Thus, section 

12(d) of the National Technology 

Transfer and Advancement Act does not 

apply to this rule. 10. Congressional 

Review Act—EPA will submit a report 

containing this rule and other 

information required by the 

Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 

et seq.) 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 on December 6, 2004.
