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:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
*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).
