40 CFR Part 272 

[EPA–R06–2012–0471; FRL–9701–7] 

Oklahoma: Incorporation by Reference 

of Approved State Hazardous Waste 

Management Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct 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. The EPA 

uses the regulations entitled ‘‘Approved 

State Hazardous Waste Management 

Programs’’ to provide notice of the 

authorization status of State programs 

and to incorporate by reference those 

provisions of the State statutes and 

regulations that will be subject to the 

EPA’s inspection and enforcement. The 

rule codifies in the regulations the prior 

approval of Oklahoma’s hazardous 

waste management program and 

incorporates by reference authorized 

provisions of the State’s statutes and 

regulations. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

October 9, 2012, unless the EPA 

receives adverse written comment on 

this regulation by the close of business 

September 6, 2012. If the EPA receives 

such comments, it will publish a timely 

withdrawal of this direct final rule in 

the Federal Register informing the 

public that this rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. What is codification? 

Codification is the process of placing 

a State’s statutes and regulations that 

comprise the State’s authorized 

hazardous waste management program 

into the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR). Section 3006(b) of RCRA, as 

amended, allows the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) to authorize 

State hazardous waste management 

programs to operate in lieu of the 

Federal hazardous waste management 

regulatory program. The EPA codifies its 

authorization of State programs in 40 

CFR part 272 and incorporates by 

reference State statutes and regulations 

that the EPA will enforce under sections 

3007 and 3008 of RCRA and any other 

applicable statutory provisions. 

The incorporation by reference of 

State authorized programs in the CFR 

should substantially enhance the 

public’s ability to discern the current 

status of the authorized State program 

and State requirements that can be 

Federally enforced. This effort provides 

clear notice to the public of the scope 

of the authorized program in each State. 

B. What is the history of the 

authorization and codification of 

Oklahoma’s hazardous waste 

management program? 

Oklahoma initially received Final 

authorization effective January 10, 1985, 

(49 FR 50362) to implement its Base 

Hazardous Waste Management program. 

Subsequently, the EPA approved 

additional program revision 

applications effective on June 18, 1990 

(55 FR 14280), November 27, 1990 (55 

FR 39274), June 3, 1991 (56 FR 13411), 

November 19, 1991 (56 FR 47675), 

November 29, 1993 (58 FR 50854), 

December 21, 1994 (59 FR 51116), April 

27, 1995 (60 FR 2699), March 14, 1997 

(62 FR 12100), July 14, 1998 (63 FR 

23673), November 23, 1998 (63 FR 

50528), February 8, 1999 (63 FR 67800), 

March 30, 2000 (65 FR 16528), July 10, 

2000 (65 FR 29981) March 5, 2001 (66 

FR 28), June 9, 2003 (68 FR 17308), 

April 6, 2009 (74 FR 5994), May 6, 2011 

(76 FR 18927), and May 14, 2012 (77 FR 

15273). The EPA first incorporated by 

reference Oklahoma’s hazardous waste 

program effective December 13, 1993 

(58 FR 52679), and updated the 

incorporation by reference effective July 

14, 1998 (63 FR 23673), October 25, 

1999 (64 FR 46567), October 27, 2003 

(68 FR 51488), August 27, 2010 (75 FR 

36546), and July 16, 2012 (77 FR 29231). 

In this document, the EPA is revising 

Subpart LL of 40 CFR part 272 to 

include the recent authorization 

revision actions effective May 6, 2011 

(76 FR 18927) and May 14, 2012 (77 FR 

15273). 

C. What codification decisions have we 

made in this rule? 

The purpose of this Federal Register 

document is to codify Oklahoma’s base 

hazardous waste management program 

and its revisions through RCRA Cluster 

XX. 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 

Federal Register notices specified in 

Section B of this 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 EPA is incorporating by reference 

the Oklahoma authorized hazardous 

waste program in subpart LL of 40 CFR 

part 272. Section 272.1851 incorporates 

by reference Oklahoma’s authorized 

hazardous waste statutes and 

regulations. Section 272.1851 also 

references the statutory provisions 

(including procedural and enforcement 

provisions) which provide the legal 

basis for the State’s implementation of 

the hazardous waste management 

program, the Memorandum of 

Agreement, the Attorney General’s 

Statements and the Program 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
46966 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 152 / Tuesday, August 7, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

Description, which are approved as part 

of the hazardous waste management 

program under Subtitle C of RCRA. 

D. What is the effect of Oklahoma’s 

codification on enforcement? 

The EPA retains its authority under 

statutory provisions, including but not 

limited to, RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 

3013 and 7003, and other applicable 

statutory and regulatory provisions to 

undertake inspections and enforcement 

actions and to issue orders in authorized 

States. With respect to these actions, the 

EPA will rely on Federal sanctions, 

Federal inspection authorities, and 

Federal procedures rather than any 

authorized State analogues to these 

provisions. Therefore, the EPA is not 

incorporating by reference such 

particular, approved Oklahoma 

procedural and enforcement authorities. 

Section 272.1851(c)(2) of 40 CFR lists 

the statutory provisions which provide 

the legal basis for the State’s 

implementation of the hazardous waste 

management program, as well as those 

procedural and enforcement authorities 

that are part of the State’s approved 

program, but these are not incorporated 

by reference. 

E. What State provisions are not part of 

the codification? 

The public needs to be aware that 

some provisions of Oklahoma’s 

hazardous waste management program 

are not part of the Federally authorized 

State program. These non-authorized 

provisions include: 

(1) Provisions that are not part of the 

RCRA subtitle C program because they 

are ‘‘broader in scope’’ than RCRA 

subtitle C (see 40 CFR 271.1(i)); 

(2) Federal rules for which Oklahoma 

is not authorized, but which have been 

incorporated into the State regulations 

because of the way the State adopted 

Federal regulations by reference. 

State provisions that are ‘‘broader in 

scope’’ than the Federal program are not 

part of the RCRA authorized program 

and the EPA will not enforce them. 

Therefore, they are not incorporated by 

reference in 40 CFR part 272. For 

reference and clarity, 40 CFR 

272.1851(c)(3) lists the Oklahoma 

regulatory provisions which are 

‘‘broader in scope’’ than the Federal 

program and which are not part of the 

authorized program being incorporated 

by reference. ‘‘Broader in scope’’ 

provisions cannot be enforced by the 

EPA; the State, however, may enforce 

such provisions under State law. 

Oklahoma has adopted but is not 

authorized for the Federal rules 

published in the Federal Register on 

October 5, 1990 (55 FR 40834); February 

1, 1991 (56 FR 3978); February 13, 1991 

(56 FR 5910); April 2, 1991 (56 FR 

13406); May 1, 1991 (56 FR 19951); 

December 23, 1991 (56 FR 66365); June 

29, 1995 (60 FR 33912), May 26, 1998 

(63 FR 28556), June 14, 2005 (70 FR 

34538), August 1, 2005 (70 FR 44150); 

December 19, 2008 (73 FR 77954); and 

June 15, 2010 (75 FR 33712). Therefore, 

these Federal amendments included in 

Oklahoma’s adoption by reference at 

252:205–3–2(b) through 252:205–3–2(m) 

of the Oklahoma Administrative Code, 

are not part of the State’s authorized 

program and are not part of the 

incorporation by reference addressed by 

this Federal Register document. 

With respect to any requirement 

pursuant to the Hazardous and Solid 

Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) for 

which the State has not yet been 

authorized, the EPA will continue to 

enforce the Federal HSWA standards 

until the State is authorized for these 

provisions. 

F. What will be the effect of Federal 

HSWA requirements on the 

codification? 

The EPA is not amending 40 CFR part 

272 to include HSWA requirements and 

prohibitions that are implemented by 

the EPA. Section 3006(g) of RCRA 

provides that any HSWA requirement or 

prohibition (including implementing 

regulations) takes effect in authorized 

and not authorized States at the same 

time. A HSWA requirement or 

prohibition supersedes any less 

stringent or inconsistent State provision 

which may have been previously 

authorized by the EPA (50 FR 28702, 

July 15, 1985). The EPA has the 

authority to implement HSWA 

requirements in all States, including 

authorized States, until the States 

become authorized for such requirement 

or prohibition. Authorized States are 

required to revise their programs to 

adopt the HSWA requirements and 

prohibitions, and then to seek 

authorization for those revisions 

pursuant to 40 CFR part 271. 

Instead of amending the 40 CFR part 

272 every time a new HSWA provision 

takes effect under the authority of RCRA 

section 3006(g), the EPA will wait until 

the State receives authorization for its 

analog to the new HSWA provision 

before amending the State’s 40 CFR part 

272 incorporation by reference. Until 

then, persons wanting to know whether 

a HSWA requirement or prohibition is 

in effect should refer to 40 CFR 271.1(j), 

as amended, which lists each such 

provision. 

Some existing State requirements may 

be similar to the HSWA requirement 

implemented by the EPA. However, 

until the EPA authorizes those State 

requirements, the EPA can only enforce 

the HSWA requirements and not the 

State analogs. The EPA will not codify 

those State requirements until the State 

receives authorization for those 

requirements. 

G. 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 rule 

incorporates by reference Oklahoma’s 

authorized hazardous waste 

management regulations and imposes 

no additional requirements beyond 

those imposed by 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 

rule merely incorporates by reference 

certain existing State hazardous waste 

management program requirements 

which the EPA already approved under 

40 CFR part 271, and with which 

regulated entities must already comply, 

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). 

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 

incorporates by reference existing 

authorized State hazardous waste 

management program requirements 

without altering the relationship or the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities established by RCRA. 

This action also does not have Tribal 

implications within the meaning of 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 6, 2000). 

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.

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 152 / Tuesday, August 7, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 46967 

The requirements being codified are 

the result of Oklahoma’s voluntary 

participation in the EPA’s State program 

authorization process under RCRA 

Subtitle C. 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 amended 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). 

Authority: This action is issued under the 

authority of Sections 2002(a), 3006 and 

7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act as 

amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, 6974(b).
