[EPA-R10-RCRA-2010-0947; FRL-9236-9]


Oregon; Correction of Federal Authorization of the State's 
Hazardous Waste Management Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA Region 10 proposes 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.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing on 
or before January 10, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving Oregon's Authorization of State Hazardous 
Waste Management Program Revision though a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
action and anticipates no adverse comments to this action. Unless we 
get written adverse comments which oppose this approval during the 
comment period, the direct final rule will become effective on the date 
it establishes, and we will not take further action on this proposal. 
If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be 
withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 
subsequent final rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time. For additional information, see the direct 
rule which is located in the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: December 1, 2010.

Regional Administrator, EPA Region 10.
