North Dakota: Codification and
Incorporation by Reference of
Approved State Underground Storage
Tank Program
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This rule codifies in the
regulations the prior approval of North
Dakota’s underground storage tank
program and incorporates by reference
approved provisions of the State’s
regulations. The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) uses the
regulations entitled, ‘‘Approved
Underground Storage Tank Programs,’’
to provide notification of the approval
status of State programs and to
incorporate by reference into the Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR) those
provisions of the State’s regulations that
are approved and that the EPA will
enforce under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
The EPA previously provided
notification and opportunity for
comments on the Agency’s decisions to
approve the North Dakota underground
storage tank program, and the EPA is
not reopening the decisions, nor
requesting comments, on the approval
of the North Dakota program, as
published in the Federal Register
documents specified in Section I.C of
this document.
DATES: This rule is effective December
30, 2019. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by
reference as of December 30, 2019, in
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1
CFR part 51.
ADDRESSES: The documents that form
the basis for this codification and
associated publicly available materials
are available electronically through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Codification
A. What is codification?
Codification is the process of placing
a State’s statutes and regulations that
comprise the State’s approved UST
program into the CFR. Section 9004(b)
of RCRA, as amended, allows the EPA
to approve State UST programs to
operate in lieu of the Federal program.
The EPA codifies its authorization of
State programs in 40 CFR part 282 and
incorporates by reference State
regulations that the EPA will enforce
under sections 9005 and 9006 of RCRA
and any other applicable statutory
provisions. The incorporation by
reference of State authorized programs
in the CFR should substantially enhance
the public’s ability to discern the
current status of the approved State
program and State requirements that can
be federally enforced. This effort
provides clear notification to the public
of the scope of the approved program in
each State.
B. Why wasn’t there a proposed rule
before today’s rule?
The EPA is publishing this rule to
codify North Dakota’s approved UST
program without a prior proposal
because we believe this action is not
controversial. The reason being that, in
accordance with section 9004(b) of
RCRA, EPA has already evaluated the
State’s regulatory and statutory
requirements and has determined that
the State’s program meets the statutory
and regulatory requirements established
by RCRA. The EPA previously provided
notifications and opportunity for
comments on the Agency’s decisions to
approve the North Dakota program. The
EPA is not reopening the decisions, nor
requesting new comments, on the North
Dakota approvals as previously
published in the Federal Register
documents specified in Section I.C of
this final rule document. The previous
approvals form the basis for the
codification addressed in this final rule.
C. What is the history of the approval
and codification of North Dakota’s UST
program?
On December 10, 1991 (56 FR 51333,
October 11, 1991) the EPA finalized a
PO 00000
Frm 00060
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
rule approving the UST program that
North Dakota proposed to administer in
lieu of the Federal UST program. The
EPA incorporated by reference and
codified North Dakota’s then approved
UST program in 40 CFR 282.84,
effective August 21, 1995 (60 FR 32469;
June 22, 1995). Due to unforeseen delays
resulting from the lapse in
appropriations, the EPA’s final
approvals concerning revisions to North
Dakota’s program originally proposed
December 19, 2018, with an effective
date of March 15, 2019 (83 FR 65104,
December 19, 2018), were delayed.
Thus, the EPA granted approval for
changes to the North Dakota program
effective April 30, 2019 (84 FR 8260,
March 7, 2019). Through this action, the
EPA is incorporating by reference and
codifying North Dakota’s State program
in 40 CFR 282.84 to include the
approved revisions.
D. What codification decisions have we
made in this rule?
In this rule, we are finalizing the
Federal regulatory text that incorporates
by reference the federally authorized
North Dakota UST Program. In
accordance with the requirements of 1
CFR 51.5, we are finalizing the
incorporation by reference of the North
Dakota rules described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 282 set
forth below. The EPA has made, and
will continue to make, these documents
generally available through
www.regulations.gov and/or in hard
copy at the EPA Region 8 office (see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble for
more information).
The purpose of this Federal Register
document is to codify North Dakota’s
approved UST Program. The
codification reflects the State program
that was in effect at the time the EPA
approved revisions to the North Dakota
UST program addressed in the final rule
published on December 19, 2018 (83 FR
65104, effective March 15, 2019). By
codifying the approved North Dakota
program and by amending the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), the public
will more easily be able to discern the
status of the federally approved
requirements of the North Dakota
program.
The EPA is incorporating by reference
the North Dakota approved UST
program in 40 CFR 282.84. 40 CFR
282.84(d)(1)(i)(A) incorporates by
reference for enforcement purposes the
E:\FR\FM\29NOR1.SGM
29NOR1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
State’s regulations. 40 CFR 282.84 also
references the Attorney General’s
Statement, Demonstration of Adequate
Enforcement Procedures, Enforcement
Agreement, the Program Description
and the Memorandum of Agreement,
which are approved as part of the UST
program under subtitle I of RCRA.
E. What is the effect of EPA’s
codification of the federally authorized
State UST Program on enforcement?
The EPA retains the authority under
sections 9003(h), 9005 and 9006 of
subtitle I of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991b(h),
6991d and 6991e, and other applicable
statutory and regulatory provisions to
undertake corrective action, inspections,
and enforcement actions, and to issue
orders in approved States. If the EPA
determines it will take such actions in
North Dakota, the EPA will rely on
Federal sanctions, Federal inspection
authorities, and other Federal
procedures rather than the State
analogs. Therefore, though the EPA has
approved the State procedures listed in
40 CFR 282.84(d)(1)(ii), the EPA is not
incorporating by reference North
Dakota’s procedural and enforcement
authorities.
F. What State provisions are not part of
the codification?
Title 40 CFR 281.12(a)(3)(ii) states
that where an approved State program
has provisions that are broader in
coverage than the Federal program,
those provisions are not a part of the
federally approved program. North
Dakota’s approved UST program does
not include provisions which are
‘‘broader in coverage’’ than the Federal
program.
II. Statutory and Executive Order (E.O.)
Reviews
This action only applies to North
Dakota’s UST Program requirements
pursuant to RCRA Section 9004 and
imposes no requirements other than
those imposed by State law. It complies
with applicable E.O.s and statutory
provisions as follows:
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review, Executive Order
13563: Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has exempted this action from
the requirements of Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993)
and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011). This action codifies State
requirements for the purpose of RCRA
section 9004 and imposes no additional
requirements beyond those imposed by
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:44 Nov 27, 2019
Jkt 250001
State law. Therefore, this action is not
subject to review by OMB.
B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing
Regulations and Controlling Regulatory
Costs
This action is not an Executive Order
13771 (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017)
regulatory action because actions such
as this incorporation by reference of
North Dakota’s revised underground
storage tank program under RCRA are
exempted under Executive Order 12866.
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.).
C. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and
Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
Because this action codifies 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 (2 U.S.C. 1531–
1538). 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).
D. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action will not have 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 specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999), because it merely
codifies State requirements as part of
the State RCRA Underground Storage
Tank Program without altering the
relationship or the distribution of power
and responsibilities established by
RCRA.
E. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks
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.

Fmt 4700

F. Executive Order 13211: Actions
Concerning Regulations 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 under
Executive Order 12866.
G. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
The requirements being codified are
the result of North Dakota’s voluntary
participation in the EPA’s State program
approval process under RCRA subtitle I.
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.
H. Executive Order 12988: Civil Justice
Reform
As required by section 3 of Executive
Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7,
1996), in issuing this rule, the EPA has
taken the necessary steps to eliminate
drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize
potential litigation, and provide a clear
legal standard for affected conduct.
I. Executive Order 12630: Governmental
Actions and Interference With
Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights
The 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.
J. 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.).
‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
K. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low
Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) establishes Federal
executive policy on environmental
justice. Its main provision directs
Federal agencies, to the greatest extent
practicable and permitted by law, to
make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority
populations and low-income

populations in the United States.
Because this rule codifies pre-existing
State rules, which are at least equivalent
to, consistent with, and no less stringent
than existing Federal requirements, 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.
L. Congressional Review Act
The EPA will submit a report
containing this document and other
required information 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). This action will be
effective November 29, 2019.
Authority: This rule is issued under the
authority of Sections 2002(a), 7004(b), and
9004, 9005 and 9006 of the Solid Waste
Disposal Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a),
6974(b), and 6991c, 6991d, and 6991e.

282 as follows:
PART 282—APPROVED
UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK
PROGRAMS
1. The authority citation for part 282
continues to read as follows:
■
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 6912, 6991c, 6991d,
and 6991e.

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
§ 282.84 North Dakota State-Administered
Program.
(a) History of the approval of North
Dakota’s Program. The State of North
Dakota is approved to administer and
enforce an underground storage tank
program in lieu of the Federal program
under subtitle I of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976
(RCRA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6991 et
seq. The State’s program, as
administered by the North Dakota
Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) was approved by EPA pursuant to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:44 Nov 27, 2019
Jkt 250001
42 U.S.C. 6991c and part 281 of this
chapter. The EPA published the notice
of final determination approving the
North Dakota underground storage tank
base program effective on December 10,
1991. A subsequent program revision
application was approved by EPA and
became effective on March 15, 2019.
(b) Enforcement authority. North
Dakota has primary responsibility for
administering and enforcing its
federally approved underground storage
tank program. However, EPA retains the
authority to exercise its corrective
action, inspection, and enforcement
authorities under sections 9003(h),
9005, and 9006 of subtitle I of RCRA, 42
U.S.C. 6991b(h), 6991d and 6991e, as
well as under any other applicable
statutory and regulatory provisions.
(c) Approval. To retain program
approval, North Dakota must revise its
approved program to adopt new changes
to the Federal subtitle I program which
make it more stringent, in accordance
with section 9004 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C.
6991c, and 40 CFR part 281, subpart E.
If North Dakota obtains approval for the
revised requirements pursuant to
section 9004 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991c,
the newly approved statutory and
regulatory provisions will be added to
this subpart and notice of any change
will be published in the Federal
Register.
(d) Program authorization. North
Dakota has final approval for the
following elements of its program
application originally submitted to EPA
and approved effective December 10,
1991, and the program revision
application approved by EPA effective
on March 15, 2019:
(1) State statutes and regulations—(i)
Incorporation by reference. The North
Dakota provisions cited in this
paragraph and listed in Appendix A to
this part, are incorporated by reference

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 282
[EPA-R08-UST-2018-0728; FRL-10000-51-Region 8]
North Dakota: Codification and Incorporation by Reference of
Approved State Underground Storage Tank Program
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule codifies in the regulations the prior approval of
North Dakota's underground storage tank program and incorporates by
reference approved provisions of the State's regulations. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) uses the regulations entitled,
``Approved Underground Storage Tank Programs,'' to provide notification
of the approval status of State programs and to incorporate by
reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) those provisions
of the State's regulations that are approved and that the EPA will
enforce under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The
EPA previously provided notification and opportunity for comments on
the Agency's decisions to approve the North Dakota underground storage
tank program, and the EPA is not reopening the decisions, nor
requesting comments, on the approval of the North Dakota program, as
published in the Federal Register documents specified in Section I.C of
this document.
DATES: This rule is effective December 30, 2019. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference as of
December 30, 2019, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part
51.
ADDRESSES: The documents that form the basis for this codification and
associated publicly available materials are available electronically
through https://www.regulations.gov (Docket ID No. EPA-R08-RCRA-2018-
0728). You can also view and copy the documents from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00
p.m. Monday through Friday at the following location: EPA Region 8,
1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, Colorado 80202-1129, phone number (303)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Codification
A. What is codification?
Codification is the process of placing a State's statutes and
regulations that comprise the State's approved UST program into the
CFR. Section 9004(b) of RCRA, as amended, allows the EPA to approve
State UST programs to operate in lieu of the Federal program. The EPA
codifies its authorization of State programs in 40 CFR part 282 and
incorporates by reference State regulations that the EPA will enforce
under sections 9005 and 9006 of RCRA and any other applicable statutory
provisions. The incorporation by reference of State authorized programs
in the CFR should substantially enhance the public's ability to discern
the current status of the approved State program and State requirements
that can be federally enforced. This effort provides clear notification
to the public of the scope of the approved program in each State.
B. Why wasn't there a proposed rule before today's rule?
The EPA is publishing this rule to codify North Dakota's approved
UST program without a prior proposal because we believe this action is
not controversial. The reason being that, in accordance with section
9004(b) of RCRA, EPA has already evaluated the State's regulatory and
statutory requirements and has determined that the State's program
meets the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA.
The EPA previously provided notifications and opportunity for comments
on the Agency's decisions to approve the North Dakota program. The EPA
is not reopening the decisions, nor requesting new comments, on the
North Dakota approvals as previously published in the Federal Register
documents specified in Section I.C of this final rule document. The
previous approvals form the basis for the codification addressed in
this final rule.
C. What is the history of the approval and codification of North
Dakota's UST program?
On December 10, 1991 (56 FR 51333, October 11, 1991) the EPA
finalized a rule approving the UST program that North Dakota proposed
to administer in lieu of the Federal UST program. The EPA incorporated
by reference and codified North Dakota's then approved UST program in
40 CFR 282.84, effective August 21, 1995 (60 FR 32469; June 22, 1995).
Due to unforeseen delays resulting from the lapse in appropriations,
the EPA's final approvals concerning revisions to North Dakota's
program originally proposed December 19, 2018, with an effective date
of March 15, 2019 (83 FR 65104, December 19, 2018), were delayed. Thus,
the EPA granted approval for changes to the North Dakota program
effective April 30, 2019 (84 FR 8260, March 7, 2019). Through this
action, the EPA is incorporating by reference and codifying North
Dakota's State program in 40 CFR 282.84 to include the approved
revisions.
D. What codification decisions have we made in this rule?
In this rule, we are finalizing the Federal regulatory text that
incorporates by reference the federally authorized North Dakota UST
Program. In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, we are
finalizing the incorporation by reference of the North Dakota rules
described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 282 set forth below. The EPA
has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally
available through www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the EPA
Region 8 office (see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more
information).
The purpose of this Federal Register document is to codify North
Dakota's approved UST Program. The codification reflects the State
program that was in effect at the time the EPA approved revisions to
the North Dakota UST program addressed in the final rule published on
December 19, 2018 (83 FR 65104, effective March 15, 2019). By codifying
the approved North Dakota program and by amending the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), the public will more easily be able to discern the
status of the federally approved requirements of the North Dakota
program.
The EPA is incorporating by reference the North Dakota approved UST
program in 40 CFR 282.84. 40 CFR 282.84(d)(1)(i)(A) incorporates by
reference for enforcement purposes the
[[Page 65687]]
State's regulations. 40 CFR 282.84 also references the Attorney
General's Statement, Demonstration of Adequate Enforcement Procedures,
Enforcement Agreement, the Program Description and the Memorandum of
Agreement, which are approved as part of the UST program under subtitle
I of RCRA.
E. What is the effect of EPA's codification of the federally authorized
State UST Program on enforcement?
The EPA retains the authority under sections 9003(h), 9005 and 9006
of subtitle I of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991b(h), 6991d and 6991e, and other
applicable statutory and regulatory provisions to undertake corrective
action, inspections, and enforcement actions, and to issue orders in
approved States. If the EPA determines it will take such actions in
North Dakota, the EPA will rely on Federal sanctions, Federal
inspection authorities, and other Federal procedures rather than the
State analogs. Therefore, though the EPA has approved the State
procedures listed in 40 CFR 282.84(d)(1)(ii), the EPA is not
incorporating by reference North Dakota's procedural and enforcement
authorities.
F. What State provisions are not part of the codification?
Title 40 CFR 281.12(a)(3)(ii) states that where an approved State
program has provisions that are broader in coverage than the Federal
program, those provisions are not a part of the federally approved
program. North Dakota's approved UST program does not include
provisions which are ``broader in coverage'' than the Federal program.
II. Statutory and Executive Order (E.O.) Reviews
This action only applies to North Dakota's UST Program requirements
pursuant to RCRA Section 9004 and imposes no requirements other than
those imposed by State law. It complies with applicable E.O.s and
statutory provisions as follows:
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review, Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this action
from the requirements of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). This action codifies
State requirements for the purpose of RCRA section 9004 and imposes no
additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. Therefore,
this action is not subject to review by OMB.
B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs
This action is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February
3, 2017) regulatory action because actions such as this incorporation
by reference of North Dakota's revised underground storage tank program
under RCRA are exempted under Executive Order 12866. 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.).
C. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments
Because this action codifies 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 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538). 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).
D. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action will not have 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 specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999), because it merely codifies State requirements
as part of the State RCRA Underground Storage Tank Program without
altering the relationship or the distribution of power and
responsibilities established by RCRA.
E. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks
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.
F. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations 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 under Executive Order 12866.
G. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
The requirements being codified are the result of North Dakota's
voluntary participation in the EPA's State program approval process
under RCRA subtitle I. 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.
H. Executive Order 12988: Civil Justice Reform
As required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729,
February 7, 1996), in issuing this rule, the EPA has taken the
necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize
potential litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for affected
conduct.
I. Executive Order 12630: Governmental Actions and Interference With
Constitutionally Protected Property Rights
The 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.
J. 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.). ``Burden'' is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) establishes
Federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs Federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
[[Page 65688]]
populations in the United States. Because this rule codifies pre-
existing State rules, which are at least equivalent to, consistent
with, and no less stringent than existing Federal requirements, 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.
L. Congressional Review Act
The EPA will submit a report containing this document and other
required information 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). This
action will be effective November 29, 2019.
Authority: This rule is issued under the authority of Sections
2002(a), 7004(b), and 9004, 9005 and 9006 of the Solid Waste
Disposal Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6974(b), and 6991c,
6991d, and 6991e.

For the reasons set forth in the preamble, EPA is amending 40 CFR
part 282 as follows:
PART 282--APPROVED UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK PROGRAMS
0
1. The authority citation for part 282 continues to read as follows:
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 6912, 6991c, 6991d, and 6991e.
0
2. Revise Sec. 282.84 to read as follows:
Sec. 282.84 North Dakota State-Administered Program.
(a) History of the approval of North Dakota's Program. The State of
North Dakota is approved to administer and enforce an underground
storage tank program in lieu of the Federal program under subtitle I of
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), as amended,
42 U.S.C. 6991 et seq. The State's program, as administered by the
North Dakota Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) was approved by
EPA pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6991c and part 281 of this chapter. The EPA
published the notice of final determination approving the North Dakota
underground storage tank base program effective on December 10, 1991. A
subsequent program revision application was approved by EPA and became
effective on March 15, 2019.
(b) Enforcement authority. North Dakota has primary responsibility
for administering and enforcing its federally approved underground
storage tank program. However, EPA retains the authority to exercise
its corrective action, inspection, and enforcement authorities under
sections 9003(h), 9005, and 9006 of subtitle I of RCRA, 42 U.S.C.
6991b(h), 6991d and 6991e, as well as under any other applicable
statutory and regulatory provisions.
(c) Approval. To retain program approval, North Dakota must revise
its approved program to adopt new changes to the Federal subtitle I
program which make it more stringent, in accordance with section 9004
of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991c, and 40 CFR part 281, subpart E. If North
Dakota obtains approval for the revised requirements pursuant to
section 9004 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991c, the newly approved statutory and
regulatory provisions will be added to this subpart and notice of any
change will be published in the Federal Register.
(d) Program authorization. North Dakota has final approval for the
following elements of its program application originally submitted to
EPA and approved effective December 10, 1991, and the program revision
application approved by EPA effective on March 15, 2019:
