[EPA-R08-RCRA-2018-0554; FRL-10001-40-Region 8]

North Dakota: Incorporation by Reference of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This rule codifies in the regulations the prior approval of 
North Dakota's hazardous waste management program and incorporates by 
reference authorized provisions of the State's statutes and 
regulations. The Environmental Protection Agency (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 are authorized and that EPA will enforce 
under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, commonly referred to as the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The EPA previously 
provided notices and opportunity for comments on the Agency's decisions 
to authorize the State of North Dakota program and the EPA is not now 
reopening the decisions, nor requesting comments, on the North Dakota 
authorization as previously published in the Federal Register documents 
specified in Section I.C. of this final rule document.

DATES: This action is effective January 13, 2020. The Director of the 
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference as of January 
13, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Incorporation by Reference

A. What is codification?

    Codification is the process of including the 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 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. Why wasn't there a proposed rule before today's rule?

    The EPA is publishing this rule to codify North Dakota's authorized 
hazardous waste management program without a prior proposal because we 
believe this action is not controversial. This rulemaking is in 
accordance with section 3006(b) of RCRA, the EPA has already evaluated 
the State's statutory and regulatory requirements and has determined 
that the State's program meets the statutory and regulatory 
requirements established by RCRA. The EPA previously provided notices 
and opportunity for comments on the Agency's decisions to authorize the 
North Dakota program. The EPA is not reopening the decisions, nor 
requesting new comments on the North Dakota authorizations, as 
previously published in the Federal Register documents specific in 
Section I.C of this final rule document. The previous authorizations

[[Page 67876]]

form the basis for the codification addressed in this final rule.

C. What is the history of the authorization and codification of North 
Dakota's hazardous waste management program?

    North Dakota initially received final authorization on October 5, 
1984, effective October 19, 1984 (49 FR 39328), to implement its Base 
Hazardous Waste Management Program. We granted authorizations for 
changes to their programs on June 25, 1990 (55 FR 25836), effective 
August 24, 1990; May 5, 1992 (57 FR 19087), effective July 6, 1992; 
April 7, 1994 (59 FR 16566), effective June 6, 1994; January 19, 2000 
(65 FR 2897), effective March 20, 2000; June 4, 2002 (67 FR 38418), 
effective April 22, 2002; September 26, 2005 (70 FR 56132), effective 
November 25, 2005; February 14, 2008 (73 FR 8610), effective April 14, 
2008; October 30, 2018 (73 FR 54521), effective October 30, 2018; and 
December 19, 2018 (83 FR 65101), effective April 30, 2019.
    The EPA incorporated by reference North Dakota's then authorized 
hazardous waste program effective April 14, 2008 (73 FR 8610), and 
October 30, 2018 (83 FR 54521). In this document, the EPA is revising 
Subpart JJ of 40 CFR part 272 to include the authorization revision 
action effective April 30, 2019 (83 FR 65101) described in this 
preamble.

D. What codification decisions have we made in this rule?

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing the Federal regulatory text 
that includes incorporation by reference of the authorized hazardous 
waste management program of the State of North Dakota. In accordance 
with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is finalizing the 
incorporation by reference of the North Dakota statutory and regulatory 
provisions described in the amendments to 40 CFR 272.1751 set forth 
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents 
generally available electronically through https://www.regulations.gov 
and at the EPA Region 8 office (see the ADDRESSES section of this 
preamble for more information).
    This rule codifies the EPA's authorization of North Dakota's base 
hazardous waste management program and its revisions to that program. 
The codification reflects the State program that was in effect at the 
time the EPA authorized the North Dakota hazardous waste management 
program addressed in the final rule published on December 19, 2018 (83 
FR 65101). Due to unforeseen delays resulting from the lapse in 
appropriations, the EPA's final authorization concerning North Dakota's 
hazardous waste management program originally proposed December 19, 
2018, with an effective date of March 15, 2019 (83 FR 65104, December 
19, 2018), was delayed. Thus, the EPA granted authorization for the 
North Dakota program effective April 30, 2019 (84 FR 8260, March 7, 
2019). The EPA is not requesting comments on its decisions published in 
the Federal Register actions concerning revisions to the authorized 
program in North Dakota. By codifying the authorized North Dakota 
program and by amending the CFR, the public will more easily be able to 
discern the status of the federally -approved requirements of the North 
Dakota program.
    The EPA is incorporating by reference the EPA's approval of North 
Dakota's hazardous waste management program by amending Subpart JJ to 
40 CFR part 272. The rule amends section 272.1751 and incorporates by 
reference North Dakota's authorized hazardous waste statutes and 
regulations. Section 272.1751 also references the demonstration of 
adequate enforcement authority, including procedural and enforcement 
provisions, which provide the legal basis for the State's 
implementation of the hazardous waste management program. In addition, 
section 272.1751 references the Memorandum of Agreement, the Attorney 
General's Statement, and the Program Description, which are evaluated 
as part of the approval process of the hazardous waste management 
program in accordance with Subtitle C of RCRA.

E. What is the effect of North Dakota's codification on enforcement?

    The EPA retains the 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 all authorized states. 
With respect to enforcement actions, the EPA will rely on Federal 
sanctions, Federal inspection authorities, and Federal procedures 
rather than the State analogs to these provisions. Therefore, the EPA 
is not incorporating by reference North Dakota's inspection and 
enforcement authorities, nor are those authorities part of North 
Dakota's approved State program which operates in lieu of the Federal 
program. 40 CFR 272.1751(c)(2) 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.

F. What State provisions are not part of the codification?

    The public is reminded that some provisions of North Dakota'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 North Dakota is not authorized, but 
which have been incorporated into the State regulations because of the 
way the State adopted Federal regulations by reference;
    (3) State procedural and enforcement authorities that are necessary 
to establish the ability of the State's program to enforce compliance, 
but which do not supplant the Federal statutory enforcement and 
procedural authorities.
    State provisions that are ``broader in scope'' than the Federal 
program are not incorporated by reference in 40 CFR part 272. For 
reference and clarity, the EPA lists in 40 CFR 272.1751(c)(3) the North 
Dakota statutory provisions that are ``broader in scope'' than the 
Federal program, and which are not part of the authorized program being 
incorporated by reference. While ``broader in scope'' provisions are 
not part of the authorized program and cannot be enforced by the EPA, 
the State may enforce such provisions under State law.
    North Dakota has adopted, but is not authorized for, the Federal 
rules published in the Federal Register on April 12, 1996 (61 FR 
16290); October 22, 1998 (63 FR 56710), and January 8, 2010 (75 FR 
1235). Therefore, these Federal amendments included in North Dakota's 
adoption by reference at section 33.1-24-06-16.5 of the North Dakota 
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.

G. What will be the effect of codification on Federal HSWA 
requirements?

    With respect to any requirement(s) pursuant to HSWA for which the 
State has not yet been authorized, and which the EPA has identified as 
taking effect immediately in states with authorized hazardous waste 
management programs, the EPA will enforce those Federal

[[Page 67877]]

HSWA standards until the State is authorized for those provisions.
    The codification does not affect Federal HSWA requirements for 
which the State is not authorized. The EPA has authority to implement 
HSWA requirements in all states, including states with authorized 
hazardous waste management programs, until the states become authorized 
for such requirements or prohibitions, unless the EPA has identified 
the HSWA requirement(s) as an optional or as a less stringent 
requirement of the Federal program. A HSWA requirement or prohibition, 
unless identified by the EPA as optional or as less stringent, 
supersedes any less stringent or inconsistent State provision which may 
have been previously authorized by the EPA (50 FR 28702, July 15, 
1985).
    Some existing State requirements may be similar to the HSWA 
requirements implemented by the EPA. However, until the EPA authorizes 
those State requirements, the EPA enforces the HSWA requirements and 
not the State analogs.

II. Administrative Requirements

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this action 
from the requirements of Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 
4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). This action 
authorizes State requirements for the purpose of RCRA section 3006 and 
imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. 
Therefore, this action is not subject to review by OMB. This action is 
not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017) regulatory 
action because actions such as today's final authorization of North 
Dakota's revised hazardous waste program under RCRA are exempted under 
Executive Order 12866. 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 action authorizes 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 of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538). For the same 
reason, this action also does not significantly or uniquely affect the 
communities of tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order 
13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 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 State requirements as part of the State 
RCRA hazardous waste program without altering the relationship or the 
distribution of power and responsibilities established by RCRA.
    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 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.
    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 note) do not apply. As required 
by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996), 
in issuing this action, 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 action 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 action does not impose an information collection burden 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.). ``Burden'' is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) establishes 
Federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision 
directs Federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and 
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission 
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high 
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, 
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income 
populations in the United States. Because this rule authorizes pre-
existing State rules which are at least equivalent to, and no less 
stringent than existing Federal requirements, and imposes no additional 
requirements beyond those imposed by State law, and there are no 
anticipated significant adverse human health or environmental effects, 
the rule is not subject to Executive Order 12898.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801-808, 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).
