BILLING CODE 6560–50–P
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
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.

[Docket No. EPA–R05–RCRA–2007–0397;
FRL–8488–6]
Ohio: Final Authorization of State
Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
EPA is granting Ohio Final
authorization of the changes to its
hazardous waste program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA). The agency published a
proposed rule on June 6, 2007 at 72 FR
31237 and provided for public
comment. The public comment period
ended on July 6, 2007. We received no
comments. No further opportunity for
comment will be provided. 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: The final authorization will be
effective on October 29, 2007.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA–R05–RCRA–
2007–0397. All documents in the docket
are listed in the www.regulations.gov
index. Although listed in the index,
some of the information is not publicly
available, e.g., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

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 are granting 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
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

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?
The effect of this decision is that a
facility in Ohio subject to RCRA will
now have to comply with the authorized
State requirements 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:
1. Do inspections, and require
monitoring, tests, analyses or reports
2. Enforce RCRA requirements and
suspend or revoke permits
3. 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. Proposed Rule
On June 6, 2007 (72 FR 31237), EPA
published a proposed rule. In that rule
we proposed granting authorization of
changes to Ohio’s hazardous waste
program and opened our decision to
public comment. The agency received
no comments on this proposal. EPA
found Ohio’s RCRA program to be
satisfactory.
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); January 24,
2003, effective January 24, 2003 (68 FR
3429); and January 20, 2006, effective
January 20, 2006 (71 FR 3220).

F. What Changes Are We Authorizing
With Today’s Action?
On January 22, 2007, 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, that Ohio’s hazardous waste
program revision satisfies all of the
requirements necessary to qualify for
final authorization. Therefore, we are
granting Ohio final authorization for the
following program changes:

Requirements, (Checklist 175 above) by
choosing not to adopt 40 CFR Sections

Units (Checklist 100 above). In this rule,
Ohio is not adopting 40 CFR 270.4
which is the permit shield provision.
Under Table 2 (Equivalent State
Initiated Changes), sections 3745–50–
33, 3745–50–34, 3745–50–35, and 3745–
50–36 under HWFB, have also been
amended. They are broader in scope fee
rules, not authorizable in this action.
This action involves no other more
stringent or broader in scope State
requirements.
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
requirements for which Ohio is not yet
authorized.
rfrederick on PROD1PC67 with RULES
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 June 7, 1991, as
corrected August 19, 1991, have
previously been codified through the
incorporation-by-reference effective
VerDate Aug<31>2005
14:52 Oct 26, 2007
Jkt 214001
February 4, 1992 (57 FR 4162). 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 proposed rule only authorizes
hazardous waste requirements pursuant
to RCRA 3006 and imposes no
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
61069
implications (i.e., substantial direct
effects on one or more Indian tribes, 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 as defined in Executive
Order 12866 and because the EPA does
not have reason to believe the
environmental health or safety risks
addressed by this action present a
disproportionate risk to children.
The Office of Management and Budget
has exempted this rule from its review
under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993).
8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use
2. Paperwork Reduction Act
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.
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.).
9. National Technology Transfer
Advancement Act
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 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).
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
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).
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
6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,

this rule because it will not have tribal

EPA has complied with Executive
Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 18,

Because this rule proposes
authorization of pre-existing State rules

there are no anticipated significant
adverse human health or environmental
effects, the rule is not subject to

SUMMARY: NMFS amends regulations
governing salmon bycatch in the Bering
Sea and Aleutian Islands management
area (BSAI). This action is necessary to
enhance the effectiveness of salmon
bycatch measures by exempting pollock
vessels from Chinook and Chum Salmon
Savings Area closures if they participate
in an intercooperative agreement (ICA)
to reduce salmon bycatch, and
exempting vessels participating in nonpollock trawl fisheries from Chum
Salmon Savings Area closures because
these fisheries intercept minimal
amounts of salmon. This action is
intended to promote the goals and
objectives of the Fishery Management
Plan for Groundfish of the Bering Sea
and Aleutian Islands Management Area
(FMP).
DATES: Effective on November 28, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
NMFS manages the U.S. groundfish
fisheries of the BSAI in the Exclusive
Economic Zone under the FMP. The
North Pacific Fishery Management
Council (Council) prepared the FMP
pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act).
Regulations implementing the FMP
appear at 50 CFR part 679. General
regulations that pertain to U.S. fisheries
appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600.
Pacific salmon are caught incidentally
in the BSAI trawl fisheries, especially in
the pollock fishery. Of the five species
of Pacific salmon, Chinook salmon
(Onchorynchus tshawytscha) and chum
salmon (O. keta) are most often
incidentally caught in the pollock
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
fisheries. Pacific salmon are placed into
two categories for purposes of salmon
bycatch management: Chinook and nonChinook. The non-Chinook category is
comprised of chum, sockeye (O. nerka),
pink (O. gorbuscha), and coho (O.
kisutch) salmon. However, chum
salmon represent about 98 percent of
non-Chinook salmon harvested
incidentally in the pollock trawl
fisheries. For convenience, all nonChinook salmon are referred to as chum
salmon.
In October 2005, the Council adopted
Amendment 84 to the FMP.
Amendment 84 establishes the salmon
bycatch intercooperative agreement
(ICA) which allows vessels participating
in the directed fisheries for pollock in
the Bering Sea to utilize their internal
cooperative structure to reduce salmon
bycatch using a method called the
‘‘voluntary rolling hotspot system’’
(VRHS). In recommending Amendment
84, the Council recognized that current
regulatory management measures,
including a bycatch cap that triggered
closure of fixed salmon savings areas,
have not been effective at reducing
salmon bycatch. Amendment 84
provides an alternative approach to
managing salmon bycatch which has the
potential to be more effective than
current regulations.
The notice of availability for
Amendment 84 was published in the
Federal Register on March 26, 2007 (72
FR 14069), and the public review and
comment period closed on May 25,
2007. NMFS approved Amendment 84
on June 22, 2007. This final rule
contains regulatory amendments
necessary to implement the provisions
of Amendment 84.
The proposed rule to implement
Amendment 84 was published in the
Federal Register on April 18, 2007 (72
FR 19454), and the public review and
comment period closed on June 4, 2007.
The proposed rule contains a
description of the management
measures adopted by the Council prior
to Amendment 84 to limit salmon
bycatch, a description of requirements
for the salmon bycatch reduction ICA,
and a summary of the proposed
regulations to implement the
Amendment 84. Please refer to the
proposed rule for detailed background
information as it is not reproduced in
this final rule.
The purpose of the salmon bycatch
avoidance ICA is to use real-time
salmon bycatch information to avoid
areas of high chum and Chinook salmon
bycatch rates. Parties to the ICA include
the American Fisheries Act
cooperatives, the six Western Alaska
Community Development Quota (CDQ)

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 271
[Docket No. EPA-R05-RCRA-2007-0397; FRL-8488-6]
Ohio: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is granting Ohio Final authorization of the changes to its
hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA). The agency published a proposed rule on June 6, 2007 at 72
FR 31237 and provided for public comment. The public comment period
ended on July 6, 2007. We received no comments. No further opportunity
for comment will be provided. 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: The final authorization will be effective on October 29, 2007.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R05-RCRA-2007-0397. All documents in the docket
are listed in the www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the
index, some of the information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or
other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain
other material, such as copyrighted material, will be publicly
available only in hard copy. Publicly available docket materials are
available either electronically in https://www.regulations.gov or in
hard copy. You may view and copy Ohio's application from 9 a.m. to 4
p.m. at the following addresses: U.S. EPA Region 5, DM-7J, 77 West

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 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 are granting 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?
The effect of this decision is that a facility in Ohio subject to
RCRA will now have to comply with the authorized State requirements
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:
1. Do inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses or
reports
2. Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits
3. 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. Proposed Rule
On June 6, 2007 (72 FR 31237), EPA published a proposed rule. In
that rule we proposed granting authorization of changes to Ohio's
hazardous waste program and opened our decision to public comment. The
agency received no comments on this proposal. EPA found Ohio's RCRA
program to be satisfactory.
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); January 24, 2003, effective
January 24, 2003 (68 FR 3429); and January 20, 2006, effective January
20, 2006 (71 FR 3220).
[[Page 61064]]
F. What Changes Are We Authorizing With Today's Action?
On January 22, 2007, Ohio submitted a final complete program
revision application, seeking authorization of their changes in

------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 action, Ohio has chosen to remain
more stringent in two rules. The first is the Hazardous Remediation
Waste Management Requirements, (Checklist 175 above) by choosing not to
adopt 40 CFR Sections 270.79 through 270.230 which allow for Remedial
Action Plans (RAP). The RAP is considered to be less stringent. The
[[Page 61069]]
second is the Liners and Leak Detection Systems for Hazardous Waste
Disposal Units (Checklist 100 above). In this rule, Ohio is not
adopting 40 CFR 270.4 which is the permit shield provision. Under Table
2 (Equivalent State Initiated Changes), sections 3745-50-33, 3745-50-
34, 3745-50-35, and 3745-50-36 under HWFB, have also been amended. They
are broader in scope fee rules, not authorizable in this action. This
action involves no other more stringent or broader in scope State
requirements.
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 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 June 7, 1991, as corrected August 19, 1991,
have previously been codified through the incorporation-by-reference
effective February 4, 1992 (57 FR 4162). 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 proposed rule only authorizes hazardous waste requirements
pursuant to RCRA 3006 and imposes no 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, 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 as defined
in Executive Order 12866 and because the EPA does not have reason to
believe the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this
action present a disproportionate risk to children.
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 18,
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. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations
Because this rule proposes authorization of pre-existing State
rules and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by
State law and there are no anticipated significant adverse human health
or environmental effects, the rule is not subject to Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
13. 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).
