40 CFR Part 271

[FRL-5025-4]

 

Oregon; Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Immediate final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Oregon has applied for final authorization of revisions to its 
hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reviewed 
Oregon's application and has made a decision, subject to public review 
and comment, that Oregon's hazardous waste program revision satisfies 
all of the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. 
Thus, EPA intends to approve Oregon's hazardous waste program 
revisions. Oregon's application for program revision is available for 
public review and comment.

DATES: Final authorization for Oregon shall be effective on October 4, 
1994 unless EPA publishes a prior Federal Register action withdrawing 
this immediate final rule. All comments on Oregon's program revision 
application must be received by the close of business on September 14, 
1994.

ADDRESSES: Copies of Oregon's program revision application are 
available during the business hours of 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the 
following addresses for inspection and copying: Oregon Department of 
Environmental Quality, Waste Management and Clean-up Division, Eighth 
Floor, 811 S.W. Sixth Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97204 (503) 229-6534; 
U.S. EPA Region 10, Library, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 
98101 (206) 553-1289. Written comments should be sent to Renee Dagseth, 
HW-107, EPA, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington, 98101, (206) 553-
1889.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Renee Dagseth at the above address and 
phone number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    States with final authorization under Section 3006(b) of the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (``RCRA or ``the Act''), 42 
U.S.C. 6926(b), have a continuing obligation to maintain a hazardous 
waste program that is equivalent to, consistent with, and no less 
stringent than the Federal hazardous waste program. In addition, as an 
interim measure, the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 
(Public Law 98-616, November 8, 1984, hereinafter ``HSWA'') allows 
States to revise their programs to become substantially equivalent 
instead of equivalent to RCRA requirements promulgated under HSWA 
authority. States exercising the latter option receive ``interim 
authorization'' for the HSWA requirements under Section 3006(g) of 
RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6926(g), and later apply for final authorization for 
the HSWA requirements.
    Revisions to State hazardous waste programs are necessary when 
Federal or State statutory or regulatory authority is modified or when 
certain other changes occur. Most commonly, State program revisions are 
necessitated by changes to EPA's regulations in 40 CFR Parts 260-266, 
268, 124 and 270.

B. Oregon

    Oregon initially received final authorization for its base RCRA 
program on January 30, 1986. Oregon received authorization for 
revisions to its program on May 29, 1990. On July 1, 1994, Oregon 
submitted a program revision application for additional program 
approvals. Today, Oregon is seeking approval of its program revision in 
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21(b)(4).
    EPA has reviewed Oregon's application, and has made an immediate 
final decision that Oregon's hazardous waste program revision satisfies 
all of the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. 
Consequently, EPA intends to grant Oregon final authorization for the 
additional program modifications. The public may submit written 
comments on EPA's immediate final decision up until September 14, 1994. 
Copies of Oregon's application for program revision are available for 
inspection and copying at the locations indicated in the ``Addresses'' 
section of this notice.
    Approval of Oregon's program revision shall become effective in 
sixty (60) days unless adverse comments pertaining to the State's 
program revisions are received during the public comment period. If an 
adverse comment is received, EPA will publish either (1) a withdrawal 
of the immediate final decision or (2) a notice containing a response 
to comments which either affirms that the immediate final decision 
takes effect or reverses the decision.
    Oregon's revision application includes the majority of HSWA and 
non-HSWA federal provisions promulgated before July 1, 1993. The more 
substantive changes included in this revision application are: the 
Mining Waste Rules, the Land Disposal Restriction Rules, the Used Oil 
Rule, and the Permit Modification Rule. Oregon is applying for 
authorization for the following Federal hazardous waste regulations:

\1\The rules referenced are in the Oregon Administrative Rules. State authorities: ORS 183.355, as amended in   
  1991; ORS 466.020, as amended in 1989; ORS 466.086, enacted in 1987, and OAR 166-510-010, effective 1993.     


    Some portions of Oregon's revised program are broader in scope than 
the federal program, and thus are not federally enforceable. The 
broader in scope rules are OAR Chapter 340: 100-011, 101-033, 102-044, 
102-070, 104-075, 105-013, 105-014, 105-040, 105-041, 105-051, 111-020, 
111-030, and 111-037. Broader information requirements characterize 
100-011, 102-070, 105-013, and 105-014 (in some cases the last two 
rules may be more stringent depending on the type of information 
required). State-only siting standards make 105-040, 105-041, and 120-
001 broader. Permit conditions are modified under 105-051. State-only 
hazardous wastes are added by 101-033. Small quantity generators must 
comply with large quantity generator requirements under 102-044. Non-
RCRA permitted recycling facilities are required to comply to provide 
biennial report information by 104-075 (in some cases this rule may be 
more stringent depending on the information required). Oregon's used 
oil rule adds regulated and prohibited activities to the Federal rule 
in 111-020 and 111-030. Used oil generators are allowed to transport 
oil in leased vehicles under 111-037.
    EPA will administer the enforcement, modification, revocation, 
reissuance, and termination of portions of joint State/EPA permits for 
which the State is not yet authorized until such time that the State is 
granted authorization. Oregon is not seeking authorization to operate 
on Indian lands.

C. Decision

    I conclude that Oregon's application for program revision meets all 
of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA. 
Accordingly, Oregon is granted final authorization to operate its 
hazardous waste program as revised.
    Oregon now has responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, 
and disposal facilities within its borders and carrying out the aspects 
of the RCRA program described in its revised program application, 
subject to the limitations of HSWA. Oregon also has primary enforcement 
responsibilities, although EPA retains the right to conduct inspections 
under Section 3007 of RCRA and to take enforcement actions under 
Sections 3008, 3013, and 7003 of RCRA.

Compliance with Executive Order 12866

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the 
requirements of Section 6 of Executive Order 12866.

Certification under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Pursuant to the provisions of 4 U.S.C. 605(b), I hereby certify 
that this authorization will not have a significant economic impact on 
a substantial number of small entities. This authorization effectively 
suspends the applicability of certain Federal regulations in favor of 
Oregon's program, thereby eliminating duplicative requirements for 
handlers of hazardous waste in the State. It does not impose any new 
burdens on small entities. This rule, therefore, does not require a 
regulatory flexibility analysis.
