**Arkansas: Final Authorization of State initiated Changes and Incorporation by**  **Reference of State Hazardous Waste Management Program** 

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

**ACTION :**  Direct final rule.

**SUMMARY :**  During a review of Arkansas’ regulations, the EPA identified a variety of State-initiated changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). We have determined that these changes are minor and satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for Final authorization and are authorizing the State-initiated changes through this direct Final action. In addition, this document corrects technical errors made in the April 24, 2002, and August 15, 2007, Federal Register authorization documents for Arkansas.

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 Arkansas hazardous waste management program and incorporates by reference authorized provisions of the State’s statutes and regulations.

**DATES :**  This regulation is effective August 27, 2010, unless the EPA receives adverse written comment on this regulation by the close of business July 28, 2010. 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. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference as of August 27, 2010, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R06– RCRA–2009–0708, by one of the following methods:

. **SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :** 

I. Authorization of State-Initiated Changes
A. Why are revisions to state programs necessary?

States which 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 hazardous waste program. As the Federal program changes, the States must change their programs and ask the EPA to authorize the changes. Changes to State hazardous waste 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 268, 270, 273 and 279. States can also initiate their own changes to their hazardous waste program and these changes must then be authorized.

B. What decisions have we made in this rule?

We conclude that Arkansas’ revisions to its authorized program meet all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA. We found that the State-initiated changes make Arkansas’ rules more clear or conform more closely to the Federal equivalents and are so minor in nature that a formal application is unnecessary. Therefore, we grant Arkansas final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in the table at Section G below. Arkansas has responsibility for permitting Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) within its borders (except in Indian Country) and for carrying out all authorized aspects of the RCRA program, subject to the limitations of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). New Federal requirements and prohibitions imposed by Federal regulations that 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 Arkansas, including issuing permits, until the State is granted authorization to do so.
C. What is the effect of this authorization decision?

The effect of this decision is that a facility in Arkansas 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. Arkansas 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:

• Do inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses, or reports;

• Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits; and

• Take enforcement actions regardless of whether the State has taken its own actions.

This action does not impose additional requirements on the regulated community because the statutes and regulations for which Arkansas is being authorized by today’s action are already effective and are not changed by today’s action.
D. Why wasn’t there a proposed rule before this rule?

The EPA did not publish a proposal before today’s rule because we view this as a routine program change and do not expect comments that oppose this approval. We are providing an opportunity for public comment now. In addition to this rule, in the Proposed Rules section of today’s Federal Register we are publishing a separate document that proposes to authorize the State program changes.
E. What happens if EPA receives comments that oppose this action?

If the EPA receives comments that oppose this authorization or the incorporation-by-reference of the State program, we will withdraw this rule by publishing a timely document in the Federal Register before the rule becomes effective. The EPA will base any further decision on the authorization of the State programchanges, or the incorporation-byreference, on the proposal mentioned in the previous paragraph. We will then address all public comments in a later final rule. If you want to comment onthis authorization and incorporation-byreference, you must do so at this time. You may not have another opportunity to comment. If we receive comments that oppose only the authorization of a particular change to the State hazardouswaste program or the incorporation-byreference of the State program, we may withdraw only that part of this rule, but the authorization of the programchanges or the incorporation-byreference of the State program that the comments do not oppose will become effective on the date specified above. The Federal Register withdrawal document will specify which part of theauthorization or incorporation-byreference of the State program will become effective and which part is being withdrawn.
F. For what has Arkansas previously been authorized?

Arkansas initially received final authorization on January 25, 1985 (50 FR 1513), to implement its Base Hazardous Waste Management program. Arkansas received authorization for revisions to its program on January 11, 1985 (50 FR 1513), effective January 25, 1985; March 27, 1990 (55 FR 11192), effective May 29, 1990; September 18, 1991 (56 FR 47153), effective November 18, 1991; October 5, 1992 (57 FR 45721), effective December 4, 1992; October 7, 1994 (59 FR 51115), effective December 21, 1994; April 24, 2002 (67 FR 20038), effective June 24, 2002; and August 15, 2007 (72 FR 45663), effective October 15, 2007. G. What changes are we authorizing with this action?

The State has made amendments to the provisions listed in the table which follows. These amendments clarify the State’s regulations and make the State’s regulations more internally consistent. The State’s laws and regulations, as amended by these provisions, provide authority which remains equivalent to and no less stringent than the Federallaws and regulations. These Stateinitiated changes satisfy the requirements of 40 CFR 271.21(a). We are granting Arkansas final authorization to carry out the following provisions of the State’s program in lieu of the Federal program. These

provisions are analogous to the indicated RCRA statutory provisions or RCRA regulations found at 40 CFR as of July 1, 2005.

H. Who handles permits after the authorization takes effect?

This authorization does not affect the status of State permits and those permits issued by the EPA because no new substantive requirements are a part of these revisions.
I. How does this action affect Indian country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in Arkansas?

Arkansas is not authorized to carry out its Hazardous Waste Program in Indian Country within the State. This authority remains with EPA. Therefore, this action has no effect in Indian Country. II. Technical Corrections

The following technical corrections are made to the April 24, 2002 (67 FR 20038) and August 15, 2007 (72 FR 45663) Arkansas authorization Federal Register documents. There are two types of corrections being made (the corrections have been italicized). The first type includes additions or corrections to the list of State citations for Checklist entries that were actually included in the published Federal Register documents The second type of correction is the addition of entire Checklist entries for the following Federal requirements which were inadvertently omitted from the original authorization tables.

• Land Disposal Restrictions—Phase IV—Mineral Processing Secondary Materials Exclusion, [63 FR 28556] May
26, 1998.

11. Add the following text immediately after the Table:

Note: Arkansas requirement at 268.42(b) is not part of the State’s authorized program. The requirement is not delegable to States.

III. Incorporation-by-Reference
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 codification of Arkansas’ hazardous waste management program?

The EPA incorporated by reference Arkansas’ then authorized hazardous waste program effective December 13, 1993 (58 FR 52674) and August 21, 1995 (60 FR 32112). In this action, EPA is revising subpart E of 40 CFR part 272 to include the recent authorization revision actions effective June 24, 2002 (67 FR 20038), and October 15, 2007 (72 FR 45663).
C. What codification decisions have we made in this rule?

The purpose of today’s Federal Register document is to codify Arkansas’ base hazardous waste management program and its revisions to that program. The EPA provided notices and opportunity for comments on the Agency’s decisions to authorize the Arkansas program, and the EPA is not now reopening the decisions, nor requesting comments, on the Arkansas authorizations as published in the Federal Register notices specified in Section I.F of this document.

This document incorporates by reference Arkansas’ hazardous waste statutes and regulations and clarifies which of these provisions are included in the authorized and Federally enforceable program. By codifying Arkansas’ 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 Arkansas hazardous waste management

program.

The EPA is incorporating by reference the Arkansas authorized hazardous waste program in subpart E of 40 CFR part 272. Section 272.201 incorporates by reference Arkansas’ authorized hazardous waste statutes and regulations. Section 272.201 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 Description, which are approved as part


### 36543 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 123 / Monday, June 28, 2010 / Rules and Regulations

of the hazardous waste management program under Subtitle C of RCRA. D. What is the effect of Arkansas’ 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 Arkansas procedural and enforcement authorities. Section 272.201(c)(2) of 40 CFR lists the statutory and regulatory 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 Arkansas’ 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) Unauthorized amendments to authorized State provisions; and

(3) New unauthorized State requirements.

State provisions that are ‘‘broader in

scope ’’ than the Federal program are not part of the RCRA authorized program and EPA will not enforce them. Therefore, they are not incorporated by reference in 40 CFR part 272. For reference and clarity, 40 CFR 272.201(c)(3) lists the Arkansas 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 EPA; the State, however, may enforce such provisions under State law.

Additionally, Arkansas’ hazardous waste regulations include amendments which have not been authorized by the EPA. Since the EPA cannot enforce a State’s requirements which have not been reviewed and authorized in accordance with RCRA section 3006 and 40 CFR part 271, it is important to be precise in delineating the scope of a State’s authorized hazardous waste program. Regulatory provisions that have not been authorized by the EPA include amendments to previously authorized State regulations as well as new State requirements. State regulations that are not incorporated by reference in today’s rule at 40 CFR 272.201(c)(1), or that are not listed in 40 CFR 272.201(c)(3) ( ‘‘broader in scope ’’ ), are considered new unauthorized State requirements. These requirements are not Federally enforceable.

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 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. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

The Office of Management and Budget 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 authorizes and incorporates by reference Arkansas’ authorized hazardous waste management regulations, and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. This final 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. ). Incorporation by reference will not impose any new burdens on small entities. 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 authorizes and incorporates by reference certain existing State hazardous waste management program requirements which the EPA already approves under 40 CFR part 271, 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).

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 and incorporates by reference existing 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 action is not subject to Executive Order 13211,

‘‘ Actions Concerning Regulations That


### 36544 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 123 / Monday, June 28, 2010 / Rules and Regulations

Significantly Affect Energy Supply Distribution or Use ’’ (66 FR 28344, 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) do not apply.

The final rule does not include environmental justice issues that require consideration under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 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. 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 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 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 August 27, 2010.

**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 August 27, 2010, unless the EPA receives adverse written comment on this regulation by the close of business July 28, 2010. If the EPA receives such comments, it will publish a timely withdrawal of this immediate final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect. The Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference as of August 27, 2010, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.
