certified Woodstock Soapstone stove and two EPA-certified stoves produced by another manufacturer show particulate emission rates (g/hr) using cord wood that are equal to or less than the corresponding test data using crib wood for all burn rates. The EPA asks for comments on these data and how they may influence the final rule.

3. Details of Cord Wood Testing by Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL),under Contract to the EPA, of an EPAcertified Noncatalytic Wood Stove. Numerous comments on the February 3, 2014, proposal suggest that manufacturers tune their stoves to the EPA crib wood certification test method and that they would need to re-tune their stoves for the proposed Step 2 cord wood certification test method. We believe this is true and that manufacturers will soon adjust the combustion air flows, directions and proportions to better match the change in hydrocarbon volatilization rate due to the difference in surface area to volume ratio for crib wood versus cord wood. However, numerous non-catalytic stove manufacturers have indicated that they are waiting for the proposed NSPS revisions to become final before they undergo the expense of such testing. At this time, no manufacturer has submitted particulate matter emissions test data for non-catalytic wood stoves tuned to burn cord wood during tests similar to the EPA certification tests or the ASTM (formerly known as the American Society for Testing and Materials) draft cord wood test method.

In June 2014, BNL (under an EPA contract) conducted new emissionstesting of a popular non-catalytic EPAcertified wood stove using cord wood. Existing EPA certification test data for crib wood based on the current EPA Test Method 5G (http://www.epa.gov/ ttnemc01/promgate/m-05g.pdf ) were compared to the new test data for using cord wood (with no stove design changes). Use of existing crib wood data were used for the comparison in order to minimize the cost of the additional testing. We note that this raises the question whether new crib wood testing would have produced similar results as the previous crib wood testing. Also, we note that the new cord wood testing was conducted with Method 5H, whereas the previous certification testing was conducted with Method 5G. The results of the test show:

a. For a popular, current model noncatalytic stove that was not adjusted by the manufacturer for burning cord wood instead of crib wood during the certification test, the emission test results can be significantly higher than the crib emission test results. As discussed above, the proposed Step 2 reasonably anticipates that the manufacturers would adjust the combustion air flows, directions and proportions to better match the change in hydrocarbon volatilization rate due to the difference in surface area to volume ratio for cribs versus cord wood. However, that was not done for this new test series.

b. Repeatability of cord wood test method results can sometimes be very good. For example, the results for three replicate tests for burn rate Category 4 (the maximum burn rate) were within 15 percent of each other.

c. Higher moisture content of the fuel can increase particulate matter emissions.

**Oklahoma: Incorporation by Reference of State Hazardous Waste Management**  **Program**

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to codify in the regulations entitled ‘‘Approved State Hazardous Waste Management Programs’’, Oklahoma’s authorized hazardous waste program. The EPA will incorporate by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) those provisions of the State regulations that are authorized and that the EPA will enforce under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, commonly referred to as the Resource Conversation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

**DATES :**  Send written comments by July 31, 2014.

**ADDRESSES :**  Send written comments to Alima Patterson, Region 6 Regional Authorization Coordinator, or Julia Banks Codification Coordinator, State/ Tribal Oversight Section (6PD–O), Multimedia Planning and Permitting Division, EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202–2733, Phone number: (214) 665–8533 or (214) 665–8178. You may also submit comments electronically or through hand delivery/courier; please follow the detailed instructions in the **ADDRESSES** section of the immediate final rule which is located in the Rules section of this Federal Register

.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Alima Patterson, (214) 665–8533.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this Federal Register (FR), the EPA is codifying and incorporating by reference the State’s hazardous waste program as direct final rule. The EPA did not make a proposal prior to the direct final rule because we believe these actions are not controversial and do not expect comments that oppose them. We have explained the reasons for this codification and incorporation by reference in the preamble to the direct final rule. Therefore, the purpose of this FR document is to codify Oklahoma’s base hazardous waste management program and its program revisions through RCRA Cluster XXI (see 78 FR 32161) May 29, 2013. The EPA provided notices and opportunity for comments on the Agency’s decisions to authorize the Oklahoma program, and the EPA is not now reopening the decisions, nor requesting comments, on the Oklahoma authorizations as published in the FR notices specified in Section B of the direct final rule FR document.

This document incorporates by reference Oklahoma’s hazardous waste statutes and regulations and clarifies which of these provisions are included in the authorized and federally enforceable program. By codifying Oklahoma’s authorized program and by amending the Code of Federal Regulations, the public will be more easily able to discern the status of federally approved requirements of the Oklahoma hazardous waste management program.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111–148) was enacted on March 23, 2010. The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111–152), which amended and revised several provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, was enacted on March 30, 2010. In this proposed rule, we refer to the two statutes collectively as the ‘‘Affordable Care Act.’’ Subtitles A and C of Title I of the Affordable Care Act reorganized, amended, and added to the provisions of part A of Title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) relating to group health plans and health insurance issuers in the group and individual markets.
