Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 46 / Friday, March 10, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
L. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This 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 and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulations
and Regulatory Review
The Office of Management and Budget
has exempted this rule from its review
under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993) and Executive
Order 13563 (76 FR 3821 January 21,
2011).
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
This rule authorizes state
requirements for the purpose of RCRA
3006 and imposes no additional
requirements beyond those required by
state law. Accordingly, I certify that this
rule 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.).

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).
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:26 Mar 09, 2017
Jkt 241001
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 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
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 to this rule.
10. Executive Order 12988
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 sixty (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 final
authorization will be effective March 10,
2017.
