[FRL-6423-8]


Oklahoma: Incorporation by Reference of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Immediate final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as 
amended (RCRA), the EPA may grant States Final Authorization to operate 
their hazardous waste management programs in lieu of the Federal 
program.
    The EPA uses part 272 of Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
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 part of the authorized State program. Thus, EPA 
intends to revise and incorporate by reference the Oklahoma authorized 
State program in 40 CFR part 272. The purpose of this action is to 
incorporate by reference into the CFR the currently authorized State 
hazardous waste program in Oklahoma. This document incorporates by 
reference provisions of State hazardous waste statutes and regulations 
and clarifies which of these provisions are included in the authorized 
and Federally enforceable program. In addition, today's document 
corrects technical errors made in the table of authorities published in 
the September 22, 1998 (63 FR 50528) authorization notice for Oklahoma.

DATES: This action is effective on October 25, 1999 without further 
notice unless EPA receives relevant adverse comments by September 27, 
1999. If adverse comments are received, EPA will publish a timely 
withdrawal of the immediate final rule or identify the issues raised, 
respond to the comments and inform the public that the rule will not 
take effect. The incorporation by reference of certain Oklahoma 
statutes and regulations was approved by the Director of the Federal 
Register as of October 25, 1999 in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 
1 CFR part 51.

ADDRESSES: Written comments referring to Document Number OK99-2 should 
be sent to Alima Patterson, Region 6 Authorization Coordinator, Grants 
and Authorization Section (6PD-G), Multimedia Planning and Permitting 
Division, EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, 
phone (214) 665-8533. Copies of Oklahoma program revisions and 
materials which EPA used in evaluating the revisions are available for 
inspection and copying from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday 
at the following addresses: State of Oklahoma Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Corrections

A. Corrections to the September 22, 1998 (63 FR 50528) Authorization 
Document

    There were typographical and effective date errors in the table 
published as part of the September 22, 1998 (63 FR 50528) authorization 
document for Oklahoma. The affected entries for that table are as 
follows:
    1. All references to ``Sec. 2-7-104'' are corrected to ``Sec. 2-2-
104'';
    2. All references to the permanent effective date of ``June 1, 
1997'' are corrected to ``June 2, 1997'';
    3. Specific to Checklist 137 (Item 3), a. the reference to ``Sec. 
2-7-107(10)'' is corrected to ``Sec. 2-7-107A(10)'';
    b. the phrase ``and (60 FR 242) January 3, 1995'' should be 
inserted after ``September 19, 1994;
    4. Specific to Checklist 140 (Item 5), the phrase ``and (60 FR 
25619) May 12, 1995'' should be inserted after ``April 17, 1995'';
    5. Specific to Checklist 141 (Item 6), the reference to ``emergency 
effective date 1, 1996'' is corrected to ``emergency effective date 
August 1, 1996.''

II. Incorporation By Reference

A. Background

    Effective December 13, 1993 (58 FR 52679) and July 14, 1998 (63 FR 
23673), EPA incorporated by reference Oklahoma's then authorized 
hazardous waste program. Effective November 23, 1998 (63 FR 50528), EPA 
granted authorization to Oklahoma for additional program revisions. In 
this document, EPA is incorporating the currently authorized State 
hazardous waste program in Oklahoma.
    The EPA provides notice of its approval of State programs in 40 CFR 
part 272 and incorporates by reference therein the State statutes and 
regulations that are part of the authorized State program under RCRA. 
This effort will provide clearer notice to the public of the scope of 
the authorized program in Oklahoma. Such notice is particularly 
important in light of Hazardous Waste and Solid Waste Amendments of 
1984 (HSWA), Public Law 98-616. Revisions to State hazardous waste 
programs are necessary when Federal statutory or regulatory authority 
is modified. Because HSWA extensively amended RCRA, State programs must 
be modified to reflect those amendments. By incorporating by reference 
the authorized Oklahoma program and by amending the CFR whenever a new 
or different set of requirements is authorized in Oklahoma, the status 
of Federally

[[Page 46568]]

approved requirements of the Oklahoma program will be readily 
discernible.
    The Agency will only enforce those provisions of the Oklahoma 
Hazardous Waste Program for which authorization approval has been 
granted by EPA.

B. Oklahoma Authorized Hazardous Waste Program

    The EPA is revising the incorporation by reference of the Oklahoma 
authorized hazardous waste program in subpart LL of 40 CFR part 272. 
The State statutes and regulations are incorporated by reference at 40 
CFR 272.1851(b)(1) and the Memorandum of Agreement, the Attorney 
General's Statement and the Program Description are referenced at 
Sec. 272.1851(b)(5), (b)(6) and (b)(7), respectively.
    The Agency retains the authority under sections 3007, 3008, 3013 
and 7003 of RCRA to undertake enforcement actions in authorized States. 
With respect to such an enforcement action, the Agency will rely on 
Federal sanctions, Federal inspection authorities, and the Federal 
Administrative Procedure Act rather than the authorized State analogues 
to these requirements. Therefore, the Agency does not intend to 
incorporate by reference for purposes of enforcement such particular, 
authorized Oklahoma enforcement authorities. Section 272.1851(b)(2) of 
40 CFR lists those authorized Oklahoma authorities that are part of the 
authorized program but are not incorporated by reference.
    The public also needs to be aware that some provisions of the 
State's Hazardous Waste 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)); and
    (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 which are ``broader in scope'' than the Federal 
program are not incorporated by reference for purposes of enforcement 
in 40 CFR part 272. Section 272.1851(b)(3) of 40 CFR lists for 
reference and clarity the Oklahoma statutory and regulatory provisions 
which are ``broader in scope'' than the Federal program and which are 
not, therefore, part of the authorized program being incorporated by 
reference. ``Broader in scope'' provisions will not be enforced by EPA; 
the State, however, will continue to enforce such provisions.
    Oklahoma has adopted but is not authorized for the Federal rule 
regarding delisting published on July 15, 1985 (50 FR 28702); and the 
Federal rules published in the FR 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); February 18, 1992 (57 FR 5859), December 6, 1994 (59 FR 62896); 
May 19, 1995 (60 FR 26828); and June 29, 1995 (60 FR 33912). Therefore, 
these Federal amendments included in Oklahoma's adoption by reference 
at 252:200-3-2(2) through 252:200-3-2(11) 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 today's FR 
document.
    Since EPA cannot enforce a State's requirements which have not been 
reviewed and approved according to the Agency's authorization 
standards, it is important that EPA clarify any limitations on the 
scope of a State's approved hazardous waste program. Thus, in those 
instances where a State's method of adopting a Federal law by reference 
has the effect of including unauthorized requirements, EPA will provide 
this clarification by: (1) incorporating by reference the relevant 
State legal authorities according to the requirements of the Office of 
Federal Register; and (2) subsequently identifying in 
Sec. 272.1851(b)(4) any requirements which while adopted and 
incorporated by reference, are not authorized by EPA, and therefore are 
not Federally enforceable. Thus, notwithstanding the language in the 
Oklahoma hazardous waste regulations incorporated by reference at 
Sec. 272.1851(b)(1), EPA would only enforce the State provisions that 
are actually authorized by EPA. With respect to HSWA requirements for 
which the State has not yet been authorized, EPA will continue to 
enforce the Federal HSWA standards until the State receives specific 
HSWA authorization from EPA.

C. HSWA Provisions

    As noted above, the Agency is not amending 40 CFR part 272 to 
include HSWA requirements and prohibitions that are immediately 
effective in Oklahoma and other States. Section 3006(g) of RCRA 
provides that any requirement or prohibition of HSWA (including 
implementing regulations) takes effect in authorized States at the same 
time that it takes effect in non-authorized States. Thus, EPA has 
immediate authority to implement a HSWA requirement or prohibition once 
it is effective.
    A HSWA requirement or prohibition supercedes any less stringent or 
inconsistent State provision which may have been previously authorized 
by EPA (50 FR 28702, July 15, 1985). Because of the vast number of HSWA 
statutory and regulatory requirements taking effect over the next few 
years, EPA expects that many previously authorized and incorporated by 
reference State provisions will be affected. The States are required to 
revise their programs to adopt the HSWA requirements and prohibitions 
by the deadlines set forth in 40 CFR 271.21, and then to seek 
authorization for those revisions pursuant to 40 CFR part 271. The EPA 
expects that the States will be modifying their programs substantially 
and repeatedly. Instead of amending the 40 CFR part 272 every time a 
new HSWA provision takes effect under the authority of RCRA section 
3006(g), 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. In the interim, 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.
    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 clarify the extent 
of Federal enforcement authority. This will be particularly true as 
more State program revisions to adopt HSWA provisions are authorized.

III. Administrative Requirements

A. Executive Order (E.O.) 12866

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this rule 
from the requirements of E.O. 12866.

B. Executive Order 13045

    Executive Order 13045, ``Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks,'' applies to any rule that: (1) the OMB 
determines is ``economically significant'' as defined under E.O. 12866, 
and (2) concerns an environmental health or safety risk that EPA has 
reason to believe may have a disproportionate effect on children. If 
the regulatory action meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the 
environmental health or safety effects of the planned rule on children 
and explain why the planned regulation is preferable to other 
potentially effective

[[Page 46569]]

and reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
    This rule is not subject to E.O. 13045 because it is not an 
economically significant rule as defined by E.O. 12866, and because it 
does not involve decisions based on environmental health or safety 
risks.

C. Executive Order 13084

    Under E.O. 13084, EPA may not issue a regulation that is not 
required by statute, that significantly or uniquely affects the 
communities of Indian tribal governments, and that imposes substantial 
direct compliance costs on those communities, unless the Federal 
Government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance 
costs incurred by the tribal governments, or EPA provides to the OMB a 
description of the prior consultation and communications the agency has 
had with representatives of tribal governments and a statement 
supporting the need to issue the regulation. In addition, E.O. 13084 
requires EPA to develop an effective process permitting elected and 
other representatives of Indian tribal governments to provide 
meaningful and timely input in the development of regulatory policies 
on matters that significantly or uniquely affect their communities.
    This rule is not subject to E.O. 13084 because it does not 
significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Indian tribal 
governments. Oklahoma is not authorized to implement the RCRA hazardous 
waste program in Indian country. This action has no effect on the 
hazardous waste program that EPA implements in Indian country within 
the State.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public 
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the 
effects of certain regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal 
governments and the private sector. Under sections 202 and 205 of the 
UMRA, EPA generally must prepare a written statement of economic and 
regulatory alternatives analyses for proposed and final rules with 
Federal mandates, as defined by the UMRA, that may result in 
expenditures to State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, 
or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year.
    The EPA has determined that sections 202 and 205 requirements do 
not apply to today's action because this rule does not contain a 
Federal mandate that may result in annual expenditures of $100 million 
or more for State, local, and/or tribal governments in the aggregate, 
or the private sector. This rule merely incorporates by reference 
existing requirements with which regulated entities must already comply 
under State and Federal law. Costs to State, local and/or tribal 
governments already exist under the Oklahoma program, and today's 
action does not impose any additional obligations on regulated 
entities. Further, as it applies to the State, this action does not 
impose a Federal intergovernmental mandate because UMRA does not 
include duties arising from participation in a voluntary federal 
program.
    The requirements of section 203 of UMRA also do not apply to 
today's action because it contains no regulatory requirements that 
might significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Although 
small governments may be hazardous waste generators, transporters, or 
own and/or operate treatment, storage, and disposal facilities, this 
codification incorporates into the CFR Oklahoma's requirements which 
EPA already authorized under 40 CFR part 271. Small governments are not 
subject to any additional significant or unique requirements by virtue 
of today's action.

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., 
as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 
1996), whenever an agency is required to publish a notice of rulemaking 
for any proposed or final rule, it must prepare and make available for 
public comment a regulatory flexibility analysis that describes the 
effect of the rule on small entities (i.e., small businesses, small 
organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions). This analysis is 
unnecessary, however, if the agency's administrator certifies that the 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities.
    The EPA has determined that this codification will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
Such small entities which are hazardous waste generators, transporters, 
or which own and/or operate TSDFs are already subject to the State 
requirements authorized by EPA under 40 CFR part 271. The EPA's 
codification does not impose any additional burdens on these small 
entities.
    Pursuant to the provision at 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the Agency hereby 
certifies that this codification will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. This codification 
incorporates by reference Oklahoma's requirements which have been 
authorized by EPA under 40 CFR part 271 into the CFR. It does not 
impose any new burdens on small entities. This rule, therefore, does 
not require a regulatory flexibility analysis.

F. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    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. The EPA will submit a report containing this rule 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 of the rule in today's Federal Register. This rule is 
not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

G. Paperwork Reduction Act

    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal 
agencies must consider the paperwork burden imposed by any information 
request contained in a proposed rule or a final rule. This rule will 
not impose any information requirements upon the regulated community.

H. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 
note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its 
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with 
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards 
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, 
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or 
adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA 
to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides 
not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
    This action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA 
did not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards.
