Any land held in trust by the United States for an Indian tribe; and, 3. Any other areas which are ‘‘Indian country’’ within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. 1151. With respect to the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation, federal courts have determined that certain lands within the exterior boundaries of the Reservation do not constitute Indian country. This State program revision approval will extend to those lands which the courts have determined are not Indian country. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES K. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying Utah’s Hazardous Waste Program as Authorized in This Rule? Codification is the process of placing a State’s statutes and regulations that comprise the State’s authorized hazardous waste program into the CFR. We do this by referencing the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. Utah’s rules, up to and including those revised on February 2, 1996, have previously been codified through the incorporation-by-reference effective March 15, 1999 (66 FR 58964, November 26, 2001). We reserve the amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart TT for the codification of Utah’s updated program until a later date. L. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this action from the requirements of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), and therefore this action is not subject to review by OMB. This action authorizes State requirements for the purpose of RCRA 3006 and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this action authorizes 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). For the same reason, this action also does not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action will not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:51 Mar 06, 2008 Jkt 214001 the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it merely authorizes state requirements as part of the State RCRA hazardous waste program without altering the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities established by RCRA. This action also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant and it does not make decisions based on environmental health or safety risks. This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. Under RCRA 3006(b), EPA grants a State’s application for authorization as long as the State meets the criteria required by RCRA. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a State authorization application, to require the use of any particular voluntary consensus standard in place of another standard that otherwise satisfies the 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. 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. 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. 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.). 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. EPA will submit a report containing this document and other required information to the U.S. PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 12279 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). This action will be effective May 6, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The IPHC has promulgated regulations governing the Pacific halibut fishery in 2008 under the Convention between the United States and Canada for the Preservation of the Halibut Fishery of the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea (Convention), signed at Ottawa, Ontario, on March 2, 1953, as amended by a Protocol Amending the Convention (signed at Washington, D.C., on March 29, 1979). The IPHC regulations have been approved by the Secretary of State of the United States under section 4 of the Northern Pacific Halibut Act (Halibut Act, 16 U.S.C. 773– 773k). The Halibut Act provides the Secretary with the authority and general responsibility to carry out the requirement of the Convention and the Halibut Act. Regulations that are not in conflict with approved IPHC regulations may be recommended by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council and implemented by the Secretary through NMFS to allocate harvesting privileges among the U.S. fishermen in and off of Alaska. The Council has exercised this authority most notably in the development of its Individual Fishing Quota (IFQ) Program, codified PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 at 50 CFR 679, and subsistence halibut fishery management measures, codified at 50 CFR 300.65. The Council also has been developing a regulatory program to manage the guided sport charter vessel fishery for halibut. Work on this program is ongoing and includes harvest restrictions and a moratorium on new entry into the charter vessel fishery. NMFS took regulatory action in 2007 to reduce sport fish harvest of halibut in Area 2C by amending the two fish bag limit with the restriction that at least one of the two halibut retained is no longer than 32 in (81.3 cm) with its head on. Given continued concern for the poundage of halibut harvested by the guided sport charter vessel fishery in Area 2C, NMFS published a proposed rule that would reduce sport fishing mortality of halibut in the Area 2C charter vessel fishery to a level comparable to the Council’s Guideline Harvest Level (GHL). NMFS provides annual notice of the guideline harvest level (GHL) for Areas 2C and 3A to meet regulatory requirements and inform the public. Notice was published this year on February 5, 2008 (73 FR 6709). Pursuant to regulations at 50 CFR 300.62, the approved IPHC regulations setting forth the 2008 IPHC annual management measures are published in the Federal Register to provide notice of their effectiveness, and to inform persons subject to the regulations of the restrictions and requirements. These management measures are effective until superseded by the 2009 management measures, which NMFS will publish in the Federal Register. As noted, NMFS anticipates implementing more restrictive regulations for the Area 2C charter vessel fishery and participants in that fishery are advised to check the current federal and state regulations prior to fishing. The IPHC held its annual meeting in Portland, Oregon, January 15–18, 2008, and adopted regulations for 2008. The substantive changes to the previous IPHC regulations (72 FR 11792, March 14, 2007) include: 1. New halibut catch limits in all regulatory areas (areas); 2. A prohibition on tagging halibut except as authorized by IPHC; 3. Addition of a net-weight definition that applies to all halibut fishing; 4. Changes to the regulations regarding possession of Area 4 halibut on a vessel with a Vessel Monitoring System (VMS); 5. Restriction on the filleting of halibut on board sport fishing vessels in waters in and off Alaska; 6. New commercial halibut fishery opening dates; E:\FR\FM\07MRR1.SGM 07MRR1
