[Docket No. USCG–2010–1080] 

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Upper Mississippi River, Hannibal, MO 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation 

from regulations. 

SUMMARY: The Commander, Eighth 

Coast Guard District, has issued a 

temporary deviation from the regulation 

governing the operation of the Hannibal 

Railroad Drawbridge across the Upper 

Mississippi River, mile 309.9, at 

Hannibal, Missouri. The deviation is 

necessary to allow the bridge owner 

time to replace critical control 

components that are essential to the 

continued safe operation of the 

drawbridge. The work is scheduled in 

the winter, when the impact on 

navigation is minimal, instead of 

scheduling the work at other times in 

the year, when river traffic is prevalent. 

This deviation allows the bridge to 

remain in the closed-to-navigation 

position during work performance. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

12:01 a.m., January 5, 2011 to 12:01 

a.m., January 26, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in 

this preamble as being available in the 

docket are part of docket USCG–2010– 

1080 and are available online by going 

to http://www.regulations.gov, inserting 

USCG–2010–1080 in the ‘‘Keyword’’ box 

and then clicking ‘‘Search’’. They are 

also available for inspection or copying

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Norfolk Southern Railroad requested a 

temporary deviation for the Hannibal 

Railroad Drawbridge, across the Upper 

Mississippi River, mile 309.9, at 

Hannibal, Missouri to remain in the 

closed-to-navigation position for 21 

days from 12:01 a.m., January 5, 2011 to 

12:01 a.m., January 26, 2011 to allow the 

bridge owner time for preventive 

maintenance. The Hannibal Railroad 

Drawbridge currently operates in 

accordance with 33 CFR 117.5, which 

states the general requirement that 

drawbridges shall open promptly and 

fully for the passage of vessels when a 

request to open is given in accordance 

with the subpart. 

There are no alternate routes for 

vessels transiting this section of the 

Upper Mississippi River. 

Winter conditions on the Upper 

Mississippi River coupled with the 

closure of Army Corps of Engineer’s 

Lock No. 20 (Mile 343.2 UMR), Lock No. 

21 (Mile 324.9 UMR) and Lock No. 22 

(Mile 301.2 UMR) from January 3, 2011 

to March 4, 2011 will preclude any 

significant navigation demands for the 

drawspan opening. 

The Hannibal Railroad Drawbridge, in 

the closed-to-navigation position, 

provides a vertical clearance of 21.1 feet 

above normal pool. Navigation on the 

waterway consists primarily of 

commercial tows and recreational 

watercraft. The drawbridge will remain 

in the closed-to-navigation position for 

the 21-day period, January 5, 2011 to 

January 25, 2011. This temporary 

deviation has been coordinated with 

waterway users. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the designated time period. This 

deviation from the operating regulations 

is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

[EPA–R10–RCRA–2010–0947; FRL–9236–8] 

Oregon; Correction of Federal 

Authorization of the State’s Hazardous 

Waste Management Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: On January 7, 2010, EPA 

published a final rule under docket 

EPA–R10–RCRA 2009–0766 granting 

final authorization for changes the State 

of Oregon made to its federally 

authorized RCRA Hazardous Waste 

Management Program. These authorized 

changes included, among others, the 

federal Recycled Used Oil Management 

Standards; Clarification rule, 

promulgated on July 30, 2003. During a 

post-authorization review of the State of 

Oregon’s regulations, EPA identified 

that the Oregon Administrative Rules 

(OAR), related to the federal used oil 

management requirements (OAR 340– 

100–0002), had not been updated to 

include the adoption of the federal 

Recycled Used Oil Management 

Standards; Clarification rule. Therefore, 

the State did not have an effective state 

rule and EPA inaccurately referenced 

this rule in the State’s Final 

Authorization Action published and 

effective on January 7, 2010. This action 

will correct the State of Oregon’s 

federally authorized program, by 

removing the inaccurate authorization 

reference to the Federal Recycled Used 

Oil Management Standards; 

Clarification rule. 

DATES: This rule is effective February 7, 

2011, unless the EPA receives adverse 

comment on this revision by the close 

of business January 10, 2011. If the EPA 

receives such comments, EPA will 

publish a timely withdrawal of this 

direct final rule in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R10– 

RCRA–2010–0947, by one of the

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Why are revisions to state programs 

necessary? 

States which have received final 

authorization from 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 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 EPA’s regulations codified in 

Title 40 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) Parts 124, 260 

through 268, 270, 273, and 279. 

B. What decisions have we made in this 

rule? 

This action will correct the State of 

Oregon’s federally authorized program 

by removing the inaccurate 

authorization reference to the Federal 

Recycled Used Oil Management 

Standards; Clarification rule 

promulgated on July 30, 2003 (68 FR 

44659) pursuant to the Final 

Authorization Rule promulgated and 

effective on January 7, 2010 (75 FR 918) 

under docket EPA–R10–RCRA–2009– 

0766. During a post-authorization 

review of the State of Oregon’s 

regulations, EPA identified that the 

Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR), 

related to the federal used oil 

management requirements (OAR 340– 

100–0002), had not been updated to 

include the adoption of the Federal 

Recycled Used Oil Management 

Standards; Clarification rule. Therefore, 

the State did not have an effective state 

rule and EPA inaccurately referenced 

this rule in the State’s Final 

Authorization Action published and 

effective on January 7, 2010.

Management Standards; Clarification 

rule addresses three aspects of the used
