U.S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY, REGION 10

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON

NOTICE OF PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD

The EPA Region 10 is proposing to approve a correction to the State of
Oregon’s federally authorized RCRA Hazardous Waste Management Program.
 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.  

The public may submit written comments on this correction during the
public comment period which ends 30 days after the date of the
publication of both the proposed and direct final rules in the Federal
Register.   We expect the Federal Register to be published on or about
December 9, 2010.

comments, during the public comment period, EPA will withdraw the direct
final rule and will address all public comments in a subsequent final
rule.   For additional information, see the proposed and direct final
rules which are located in the Rules section of the Federal Register.
