Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 154 / Thursday, August 11, 2005 / Proposed Rules
and enforce the Federal plan (68 FR
5144, January 31, 2003) for small
municipal waste combustor (MWC)
units under sections 111(d) and 129 of
the Clean Air Act (the ‘‘Act’’). The
request for delegation was submitted as
a means to fulfill requirements of the
Clean Air Act (the Act). In the Final
Rules section of this Federal Register,
EPA is approving Maryland’s delegation
request as a direct final rule without
prior proposal because the Agency
views this as a noncontroversial action
and anticipate no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the direct final rule. If no
adverse comments are received in
response to this action, no further
activity is contemplated. 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will be withdrawn and all public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 based on this
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a
second comment period. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time.

Ohio: Final Authorization of State
Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Ohio has applied to EPA for
Final authorization of the changes to its
hazardous waste program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA). EPA has determined that
these changes satisfy all requirements
needed to qualify for Final
authorization, and is proposing to
authorize the State’s changes through
this proposed final action.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before September 12,
2005.
Send written comments to
Gary Westefer, Ohio Regulatory
Specialist, DM–7J, 77 West Jackson
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
Please refer to Docket Number OH ARA
6. We must receive your comments by
September 12, 2005. You can view and
copy Ohio’s application from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m. at the following addresses: Ohio

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
A. Why Are Revisions to State
Programs Necessary?
States which have received final
authorization from EPA under RCRA
section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must
maintain a hazardous waste program
that is equivalent to, consistent with,
and no less stringent than the Federal
program. As the Federal program
changes, States must change their
programs and ask EPA to authorize the
E:\FR\FM\11AUP1.SGM
11AUP1
46800
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 154 / Thursday, August 11, 2005 / Proposed Rules
changes. Changes to State programs may
be necessary when Federal or State
statutory or regulatory authority is
modified or when certain other changes
occur. Most commonly, States must
change their programs because of
changes to EPA’s regulations in 40 Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 124,
260 through 266, 268, 270, 273 and 279.
B. What Decisions Have We Made in
This Rule?
We conclude that Ohio’s application
to revise its authorized program meets
all of the statutory and regulatory
requirements established by RCRA.
Therefore, we propose to grant Ohio
Final authorization to operate its
hazardous waste program with the
changes described in the authorization
application. Ohio has responsibility for
permitting Treatment, Storage, and
Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) within its
borders (except in Indian Country) and
for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA
program described in its revised
program application, subject to the
limitations of the Hazardous and Solid
Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA).
New Federal requirements and
prohibitions imposed by Federal
regulations that EPA promulgates under
the authority of HSWA take effect in
authorized States before they are
authorized for the requirements. Thus,
EPA will implement those requirements
and prohibitions in Ohio, including
Register. You may not have another
opportunity to comment. If you want to
comment on this authorization, you
must do so at this time.
issuing permits, until the State is
granted authorization to do so.
C. What Is the Effect of Today’s
Authorization Decision?
This decision means that a facility in
Ohio subject to RCRA will now have to
comply with the authorized State
requirements (listed in section F of this
action) instead of the equivalent Federal
requirements in order to comply with
RCRA. Ohio has enforcement
responsibilities under its State
hazardous waste program for violations
of such program, but EPA retains its
authority under RCRA sections 3007,
3008, 3013, and 7003, which include,
among others, authority to:
• Do inspections, and require
monitoring, tests, analyses or reports
• Enforce RCRA requirements and
suspend or revoke permits
• Take enforcement actions regardless
of whether the State has taken its own
actions
This action does not impose
additional requirements on the
regulated community because the
regulations for which Ohio is being
authorized by today’s action are already
effective, and are not changed by today’s
action.
D. What Happens If EPA Receives
Comments That Oppose This Action?
If EPA receives comments that oppose
this authorization, we will address all
public comments in a later Federal
E. What Has Ohio Previously Been
Authorized for?
Ohio initially received Final
authorization on June 28, 1989, effective
June 30, 1989 (54 FR 27170) to
implement the RCRA hazardous waste
management program. We granted
authorization for changes to their
program on April 8, 1991, effective June
7, 1991 (56 FR 14203) as corrected June
19, 1991, effective August 19, 1991 (56
FR 28088); July 27, 1995, effective
September 25, 1995 (60 FR 38502);
October 23, 1996, effective December
23, 1996 (61 FR 54950); and January 24,
2003, effective January 24, 2003 (68 FR
3429).
F. What Changes Are We Authorizing
With Today’s Action?
On October 18, 2004, Ohio submitted
a final complete program revision
application, seeking authorization of
their changes in accordance with 40
CFR 271.21. We now make a final
decision, subject to receipt of written
comments that oppose this action, that
Ohio’s hazardous waste program
revision satisfies all of the requirements
necessary to qualify for Final
authorization. Therefore, we propose to
grant Ohio Final authorization for the
following program changes:

*These U.S. EPA rules have been rescinded and replaced by totally different rules.
U.S. EPA promulgated a new 268.33
on November 8, 2000; Ohio has an
effective rule for this new rule at OAC
3745–270–33 effective December 7,
2004. It will not be authorized in this
action.
The tables that were Federal sections
268.41 and 268.43 were moved into
268.40. The rescission of OAC 3745–59–
41 and 3745–59–43 maintains Ohio’s
consistency with the Federal rule.

will continue to implement those
requirements.
In this package, Ohio has also
amended Broader in Scope provisions
in State initiated changes HB 147 (OAC
3745–50–34), HB 215 biennium budget
bill (OAC 3745–50–33, 3745–50–35),

Ohio will issue permits for all the
provisions for which it is authorized
and will administer the permits it

any RCRA hazardous waste permits or
portions of permits which we issued
prior to the effective date of this
authorization until they expire or are
terminated. We will not issue any more
new permits or new portions of permits

requirements for which Ohio is not yet
authorized.
I. How Does Today’s Action Affect
Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in
Ohio?
Ohio is not authorized to carry out its
hazardous waste program in ‘‘Indian
Country,’’ as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151.
Indian Country includes:
1. All lands within the exterior
boundaries of Indian reservations
within the State of Ohio;
2. Any land held in trust by the U.S.
for an Indian tribe; and
3. Any other land, whether on or off
an Indian reservation that qualifies as
Indian Country. Therefore, EPA retains
the authority to implement and
administer the RCRA program in Indian
Country. However, at this time, there is
no Indian Country within the State of
Ohio.
J. What Is Codification and Is EPA
Codifying Ohio’s Hazardous Waste
Program as Authorized in This Rule?
Codification is the process of placing
the State’s statutes and regulations that
comprise the State’s authorized
hazardous waste program into the Code
of Federal Regulations. We do this by
referencing the authorized State rules in
40 CFR part 272. Ohio’s rules, up to and
including those revised January 4, 2001,
have previously been codified through
the incorporation-by-reference effective
December 24, 2001 (66 FR 53728,
October 24, 2001). We reserve the
amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart
KK for the codification of Ohio’s
program changes until a later date.
K. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This rule only authorizes hazardous
waste requirements pursuant to RCRA
section 3006 and imposes requirements
other than those imposed by State law
(see Supplementary Information,
Section A. Why are Revisions to State
Programs Necessary?). Therefore this
rule complies with applicable executive
orders and statutory provisions as
follows:
1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory
Planning Review
The Office of Management and Budget
has exempted this rule from its review
under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993).
2. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not impose an
information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

3. Regulatory Flexibility Act
After considering the economic
impacts of today’s rule on small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.), I certify that this rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
a State program, to require the use of
any particular voluntary consensus
standard in place of another standard
that meets 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 to this rule.
4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Because this rule approves preexisting 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 (Pub. L. 104–4).
10. Executive Order 12988
5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999) does not apply to this
rule because it will not have federalism
implications (i.e., 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).
6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000) does not apply to
this rule because it will not have tribal
implications (i.e., substantial direct
effects on one or more Indian Tribes, or
on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian Tribes, or on
the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian Tribes.
7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks
This rule is not subject to Executive
Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997), because it is not economically
significant and it is not based on
environmental health or safety risks.
8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use
This rule is not subject to Executive
Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22,
2001), because it is not a significant
regulatory action as defined in
Executive Order 12866.
9. National Technology Transfer
Advancement Act
EPA approves State programs as long
as they meet criteria required by RCRA,
so it would be inconsistent with
applicable law for EPA, in its review of

As required by section 3 of Executive
Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7,
1996), in issuing this rule, EPA has
taken the necessary steps to eliminate
drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize
potential litigation, and provide a clear
legal standard for affected conduct.
11. Executive Order 12630: Evaluation
of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated
Takings
EPA has complied with Executive
Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15,
1988) by examining the takings
implications of the rule in accordance
with the Attorney General’s
Supplemental Guidelines for the
Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of
Unanticipated Takings issued under the
executive order.
12. Congressional Review Act
EPA will submit a report containing
this rule and other information required
by the Congressional Review Act (5
U.S.C. 801 et seq.) 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).

40 CFR Part 271
[FRL-7951-2]
Ohio: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Ohio has applied to EPA for Final authorization of the changes
to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has determined that these changes satisfy all
requirements needed to qualify for Final authorization, and is
proposing to authorize the State's changes through this proposed final
action.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 12,
2005.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Gary Westefer, Ohio Regulatory
Specialist, DM-7J, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
Please refer to Docket Number OH ARA 6. We must receive your comments
by September 12, 2005. You can view and copy Ohio's application from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. at the following addresses: Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency, Lazarus Government Center, 122 South Front Street,
Columbus, Ohio, (mailing address P.O. Box 1049, Columbus, Ohio 43216)
contact Kit Arthur (614) 644-2932; and EPA Region 5, contact Gary
Westefer at the following address.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gary Westefer, Ohio Regulatory
Specialist, U.S. EPA Region 5, DM-7J, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886-7450.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Why Are Revisions to State Programs Necessary?
States which have received final authorization from EPA under RCRA
section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must maintain a hazardous waste
program that is equivalent to, consistent with, and no less stringent
than the Federal program. As the Federal program changes, States must
change their programs and ask EPA to authorize the
[[Page 46800]]
changes. Changes to State programs may be necessary when Federal or
State statutory or regulatory authority is modified or when certain
other changes occur. Most commonly, States must change their programs
because of changes to EPA's regulations in 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) parts 124, 260 through 266, 268, 270, 273 and 279.
B. What Decisions Have We Made in This Rule?
We conclude that Ohio's application to revise its authorized
program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements
established by RCRA. Therefore, we propose to grant Ohio Final
authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes
described in the authorization application. Ohio has responsibility for
permitting Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) within
its borders (except in Indian Country) and for carrying out the aspects
of the RCRA program described in its revised program application,
subject to the limitations of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments
of 1984 (HSWA). New Federal requirements and prohibitions imposed by
Federal regulations that EPA promulgates under the authority of HSWA
take effect in authorized States before they are authorized for the
requirements. Thus, EPA will implement those requirements and
prohibitions in Ohio, including issuing permits, until the State is
granted authorization to do so.
C. What Is the Effect of Today's Authorization Decision?
This decision means that a facility in Ohio subject to RCRA will
now have to comply with the authorized State requirements (listed in
section F of this action) instead of the equivalent Federal
requirements in order to comply with RCRA. Ohio has enforcement
responsibilities under its State hazardous waste program for violations
of such program, but EPA retains its authority under RCRA sections
3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, which include, among others, authority to:
Do inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses or
reports
Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits
Take enforcement actions regardless of whether the State
has taken its own actions
This action does not impose additional requirements on the
regulated community because the regulations for which Ohio is being
authorized by today's action are already effective, and are not changed
by today's action.
D. What Happens If EPA Receives Comments That Oppose This Action?
If EPA receives comments that oppose this authorization, we will
address all public comments in a later Federal Register. You may not
have another opportunity to comment. If you want to comment on this
authorization, you must do so at this time.
E. What Has Ohio Previously Been Authorized for?
Ohio initially received Final authorization on June 28, 1989,
effective June 30, 1989 (54 FR 27170) to implement the RCRA hazardous
waste management program. We granted authorization for changes to their
program on April 8, 1991, effective June 7, 1991 (56 FR 14203) as
corrected June 19, 1991, effective August 19, 1991 (56 FR 28088); July
27, 1995, effective September 25, 1995 (60 FR 38502); October 23, 1996,
effective December 23, 1996 (61 FR 54950); and January 24, 2003,
effective January 24, 2003 (68 FR 3429).
F. What Changes Are We Authorizing With Today's Action?
On October 18, 2004, Ohio submitted a final complete program
revision application, seeking authorization of their changes in
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We now make a final decision, subject to
receipt of written comments that oppose this action, that Ohio's
hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of the requirements
necessary to qualify for Final authorization. Therefore, we propose to
grant Ohio Final authorization for the following program changes:

In CL-LDR-2, a state initiated change, Ohio has renumbered their
Land Disposal Restrictions Regulations, effective December 7, 2000.
These regulations were moved from OAC 3745-59 to OAC 3745-270 and are
equivalent to 40 CFR part 268.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*These U.S. EPA rules have been rescinded and replaced by totally
different rules.
U.S. EPA promulgated a new 268.33 on November 8, 2000; Ohio has an
effective rule for this new rule at OAC 3745-270-33 effective December
7, 2004. It will not be authorized in this action.
The tables that were Federal sections 268.41 and 268.43 were moved
into 268.40. The rescission of OAC 3745-59-41 and 3745-59-43 maintains
Ohio's consistency with the Federal rule.
G. Where Are the Revised State Rules Different From the Federal Rules?
Ohio has excluded the non-delegable Federal requirements at 40 CFR
268.5, 268.6, 268.42(b), 268.44, and 270.3. EPA will continue to
implement those requirements.
In this package, Ohio has also amended Broader in Scope provisions
in State initiated changes HB 147 (OAC 3745-50-34), HB 215 biennium
budget bill (OAC 3745-50-33, 3745-50-35), CL-UW (OAC 3745-50-33) and
CL-UO (see State initiated changes above) (OAC 3745-50-34).
In Checklists 112, 137 and 169, Ohio is not requesting
authorization for that portion covering 266.100 because they are not
authorized for Boilers and Industrial Furnaces. This section will be
added in ARA 7.
H. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?
Ohio will issue permits for all the provisions for which it is
authorized and will administer the permits it issues. EPA will continue
to administer any RCRA hazardous waste permits or portions of permits
which we issued prior to the effective date of this authorization until
they expire or are terminated. We will not issue any more new permits
or new portions of permits for the provisions listed in the Table above
after the effective date of this authorization. EPA will continue to
implement and issue permits for HSWA
[[Page 46806]]
requirements for which Ohio is not yet authorized.
I. How Does Today's Action Affect Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in
Ohio?
Ohio is not authorized to carry out its hazardous waste program in
``Indian Country,'' as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Indian Country
includes:
1. All lands within the exterior boundaries of Indian reservations
within the State of Ohio;
2. Any land held in trust by the U.S. for an Indian tribe; and
3. Any other land, whether on or off an Indian reservation that
qualifies as Indian Country. Therefore, EPA retains the authority to
implement and administer the RCRA program in Indian Country. However,
at this time, there is no Indian Country within the State of Ohio.
J. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying Ohio's Hazardous Waste
Program as Authorized in This Rule?
Codification is the process of placing the State's statutes and
regulations that comprise the State's authorized hazardous waste
program into the Code of Federal Regulations. We do this by referencing
the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. Ohio's rules, up to and
including those revised January 4, 2001, have previously been codified
through the incorporation-by-reference effective December 24, 2001 (66
FR 53728, October 24, 2001). We reserve the amendment of 40 CFR part
272, subpart KK for the codification of Ohio's program changes until a
later date.
K. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This rule only authorizes hazardous waste requirements pursuant to
RCRA section 3006 and imposes requirements other than those imposed by
State law (see Supplementary Information, Section A. Why are Revisions
to State Programs Necessary?). Therefore this rule complies with
applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as follows:
1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory Planning Review
The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from its
review under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).
2. Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.).
3. Regulatory Flexibility Act
After considering the economic impacts of today's rule on small
entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), I
certify that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Because this rule approves 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 (Pub. L. 104-4).
5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) does not apply
to this rule because it will not have federalism implications (i.e.,
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).
6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) does not
apply to this rule because it will not have tribal implications (i.e.,
substantial direct effects on one or more Indian Tribes, or on the
relationship between the Federal Government and Indian Tribes, or on
the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian Tribes.
7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant and it is
not based on environmental health or safety risks.
8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action as defined
in Executive Order 12866.
9. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act
EPA approves State programs as long as they meet criteria required
by RCRA, so it would be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, in
its review of a State program, to require the use of any particular
voluntary consensus standard in place of another standard that meets
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 to this rule.
10. Executive Order 12988
As required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729,
February 7, 1996), in issuing this rule, EPA has taken the necessary
steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential
litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct.
11. Executive Order 12630: Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of
Unanticipated Takings
EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15,
1988) by examining the takings implications of the rule in accordance
with the Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation
of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings issued under the
executive order.
12. Congressional Review Act
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other information
required by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) 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).
