Arkansas: Final Authorization of State-initiated Changes and 
Incorporation by Reference of State Hazardous Waste Management Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: During a review of Arkansas' regulations, the EPA identified a 
variety of State-initiated changes to its hazardous waste program under 
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). We have determined 
that these changes are minor and satisfy all requirements needed to 
qualify for Final authorization and are authorizing the State-initiated 
changes through this direct Final action. In addition, this document 
corrects technical errors made in the April 24, 2002, and August 15, 
2007, Federal Register authorization documents for Arkansas.
    The Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, commonly referred to as 
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), allows the 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to authorize States to operate 
their hazardous waste management programs in lieu of the Federal 
program. The EPA uses the regulations entitled ``Approved State 
Hazardous Waste Management Programs'' to provide notice of the 
authorization status of State programs and to incorporate by reference 
those provisions of the State statutes and regulations that will be 
subject to the EPA's inspection and enforcement. The rule codifies in 
the regulations the prior approval of Arkansas hazardous waste 
management program and incorporates by reference authorized provisions 
of the State's statutes and regulations.

DATES: This regulation is effective August 27, 2010, unless the EPA 
receives adverse written comment on this regulation by the close of 
business July 28, 2010. If the EPA receives such comments, it will 
publish a timely withdrawal of this direct final rule in the Federal 
Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect. The 
Director of the Federal Register approves this incorporation by 
reference as of August 27, 2010, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 
1 CFR part 51.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Authorization of State-Initiated Changes

A. Why are revisions to state programs necessary?

    States which have received Final authorization from the 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 hazardous waste program. As the Federal 
program changes, the States must change their programs and ask the EPA 
to authorize the changes. Changes to State hazardous waste 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 the EPA's regulations 
in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 124, 260 through 268, 
270, 273 and 279. States can also initiate their own changes to their 
hazardous waste program and these changes must then be authorized.

B. What decisions have we made in this rule?

    We conclude that Arkansas' revisions to its authorized program meet 
all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA. 
We found that the State-initiated changes make Arkansas' rules more 
clear or conform more closely to the Federal equivalents and are so 
minor in nature that a formal application is unnecessary. Therefore, we 
grant Arkansas final authorization to operate its hazardous waste 
program with the changes described in the table at Section G below. 
Arkansas has responsibility for permitting Treatment, Storage, and 
Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) within its borders (except in Indian 
Country) and for carrying out all authorized aspects of the RCRA 
program, 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, the EPA will implement those requirements and 
prohibitions in Arkansas, including issuing permits, until the State is 
granted authorization to do so.

C. What is the effect of this authorization decision?

    The effect of this decision is that a facility in Arkansas 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. Arkansas has enforcement responsibilities under its State 
hazardous waste program for violations of such program, but the 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; 
and
     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 statutes and regulations for which 
Arkansas is being authorized by today's action are already effective 
and are not changed by today's action.

D. Why wasn't there a proposed rule before this rule?

    The EPA did not publish a proposal before today's rule because we 
view this as a routine program change and do not expect comments that 
oppose this approval. We are providing an opportunity for public 
comment now. In addition to this rule, in the Proposed Rules section of 
today's Federal Register we are publishing a separate document that 
proposes to authorize the State program changes.

E. What happens if EPA receives comments that oppose this action?

    If the EPA receives comments that oppose this authorization or the 
incorporation-by-reference of the State program, we will withdraw this 
rule by publishing a timely document in the Federal Register before the 
rule becomes effective. The EPA will base any further decision on the 
authorization of the State program changes, or the incorporation-by-
reference, on the proposal mentioned in the previous paragraph. We will 
then address all public comments in a later final rule. If you want to 
comment on this authorization and incorporation-by-reference, you must 
do so at this time. You may not have another opportunity to comment. If 
we receive comments that oppose only the authorization of a particular 
change to the State hazardous waste program or the incorporation-by-
reference of the State program, we may withdraw only that part of this 
rule, but the authorization of the program changes or the 
incorporation-by-reference of the State program that the comments do 
not oppose will become effective on the date specified above. The 
Federal Register withdrawal document will specify which part of the 
authorization or incorporation-by-reference of the State program will 
become effective and which part is being withdrawn.

F. For what has Arkansas previously been authorized?

    Arkansas initially received final authorization on January 25, 1985 
(50 FR 1513), to implement its Base Hazardous Waste Management program. 
Arkansas received authorization for revisions to its program on January 
11, 1985 (50 FR 1513), effective January 25, 1985; March 27, 1990 (55 
FR 11192), effective May 29, 1990; September 18, 1991 (56 FR 47153), 
effective November 18, 1991; October 5, 1992 (57 FR 45721), effective 
December 4, 1992; October 7, 1994 (59 FR 51115), effective December 21, 
1994; April 24, 2002 (67 FR 20038), effective June 24, 2002; and August 
15, 2007 (72 FR 45663), effective October 15, 2007.

G. What changes are we authorizing with this action?

    The State has made amendments to the provisions listed in the table 
which follows. These amendments clarify the State's regulations and 
make the State's regulations more internally consistent. The State's 
laws and regulations, as amended by these provisions, provide authority 
which remains equivalent to and no less stringent than the Federal laws 
and regulations. These State-initiated changes satisfy the requirements 
of 40 CFR 271.21(a). We are granting Arkansas final authorization to 
carry out the following provisions of the State's program in lieu of 
the Federal program. These

[[Page 36540]]

provisions are analogous to the indicated RCRA statutory provisions or 
RCRA regulations found at 40 CFR as of July 1, 2005. The Arkansas 
provisions are from the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology 
Commission Regulation No. 23, Hazardous Waste Management, as amended 
December 9, 2005, effective March 23, 2006.

H. Who handles permits after the authorization takes effect?

    This authorization does not affect the status of State permits and 
those permits issued by the EPA because no new substantive requirements 
are a part of these revisions.

I. How does this action affect Indian country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in 
Arkansas?

    Arkansas is not authorized to carry out its Hazardous Waste Program 
in Indian Country within the State. This authority remains with EPA. 
Therefore, this action has no effect in Indian Country.

II. Technical Corrections

    The following technical corrections are made to the April 24, 2002 
(67 FR 20038) and August 15, 2007 (72 FR 45663) Arkansas authorization 
Federal Register documents. There are two types of corrections being 
made (the corrections have been italicized). The first type includes 
additions or corrections to the list of State citations for Checklist 
entries that were actually included in the published Federal Register 
documents The second type of correction is the addition of entire 
Checklist entries for the following Federal requirements which were 
inadvertently omitted from the original authorization tables.

    11. Add the following text immediately after the Table:

    Note:  Arkansas requirement at 268.42(b) is not part of the 
State's authorized program. The requirement is not delegable to 
States.

III. Incorporation-by-Reference

A. What is codification?

    Codification is the process of placing a State's statutes and 
regulations that comprise the State's authorized hazardous waste 
management program into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Section 
3006(b) of RCRA, as amended, allows the Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) to authorize State hazardous waste management programs to operate 
in lieu of the Federal hazardous waste management regulatory program. 
The EPA codifies its authorization of State programs in 40 CFR part 272 
and incorporates by reference State statutes and regulations that the 
EPA will enforce under sections 3007 and 3008 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 authorized State program and State requirements 
that can be federally enforced. This effort provides clear notice to 
the public of the scope of the authorized program in each State.

B. What is the history of the codification of Arkansas' hazardous waste 
management program?

    The EPA incorporated by reference Arkansas' then authorized 
hazardous waste program effective December 13, 1993 (58 FR 52674) and 
August 21, 1995 (60 FR 32112). In this action, EPA is revising subpart 
E of 40 CFR part 272 to include the recent authorization revision 
actions effective June 24, 2002 (67 FR 20038), and October 15, 2007 (72 
FR 45663).

C. What codification decisions have we made in this rule?

    The purpose of today's Federal Register document is to codify 
Arkansas' base hazardous waste management program and its revisions to 
that program. The EPA provided notices and opportunity for comments on 
the Agency's decisions to authorize the Arkansas program, and the EPA 
is not now reopening the decisions, nor requesting comments, on the 
Arkansas authorizations as published in the Federal Register notices 
specified in Section I.F of this document.
    This document incorporates by reference Arkansas' hazardous waste 
statutes and regulations and clarifies which of these provisions are 
included in the authorized and Federally enforceable program. By 
codifying Arkansas' authorized program and by amending the Code of 
Federal Regulations, the public will be more easily able to discern the 
status of Federally approved requirements of the Arkansas hazardous 
waste management program.
    The EPA is incorporating by reference the Arkansas authorized 
hazardous waste program in subpart E of 40 CFR part 272. Section 
272.201 incorporates by reference Arkansas' authorized hazardous waste 
statutes and regulations. Section 272.201 also references the statutory 
provisions (including procedural and enforcement provisions) which 
provide the legal basis for the State's implementation of the hazardous 
waste management program, the Memorandum of Agreement, the Attorney 
General's Statements and the Program Description, which are approved as 
part

[[Page 36543]]

of the hazardous waste management program under Subtitle C of RCRA.

D. What is the effect of Arkansas' codification on enforcement?

    The EPA retains its authority under statutory provisions, including 
but not limited to, RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, and other 
applicable statutory and regulatory provisions to undertake inspections 
and enforcement actions and to issue orders in authorized States. With 
respect to these actions, the EPA will rely on Federal sanctions, 
Federal inspection authorities, and Federal procedures rather than any 
authorized State analogues to these provisions. Therefore, the EPA is 
not incorporating by reference such particular, approved Arkansas 
procedural and enforcement authorities. Section 272.201(c)(2) of 40 CFR 
lists the statutory and regulatory provisions which provide the legal 
basis for the State's implementation of the hazardous waste management 
program, as well as those procedural and enforcement authorities that 
are part of the State's approved program, but these are not 
incorporated by reference.

E. What state provisions are not part of the codification?

    The public needs to be aware that some provisions of Arkansas' 
hazardous waste management program are not part of the Federally 
authorized State program. These non-authorized provisions include:
    (1) Provisions that are not part of the RCRA subtitle C program 
because they are ``broader in scope'' than RCRA subtitle C (see 40 CFR 
271.1(i));
    (2) Unauthorized amendments to authorized State provisions; and
    (3) New unauthorized State requirements.
    State provisions that are ``broader in scope'' than the Federal 
program are not part of the RCRA authorized program and EPA will not 
enforce them. Therefore, they are not incorporated by reference in 40 
CFR part 272. For reference and clarity, 40 CFR 272.201(c)(3) lists the 
Arkansas regulatory provisions which are ``broader in scope'' than the 
Federal program and which are not part of the authorized program being 
incorporated by reference. ``Broader in scope'' provisions cannot be 
enforced by EPA; the State, however, may enforce such provisions under 
State law.
    Additionally, Arkansas' hazardous waste regulations include 
amendments which have not been authorized by the EPA. Since the EPA 
cannot enforce a State's requirements which have not been reviewed and 
authorized in accordance with RCRA section 3006 and 40 CFR part 271, it 
is important to be precise in delineating the scope of a State's 
authorized hazardous waste program. Regulatory provisions that have not 
been authorized by the EPA include amendments to previously authorized 
State regulations as well as new State requirements. State regulations 
that are not incorporated by reference in today's rule at 40 CFR 
272.201(c)(1), or that are not listed in 40 CFR 272.201(c)(3) 
(``broader in scope''), are considered new unauthorized State 
requirements. These requirements are not Federally enforceable.
    With respect to any requirement pursuant to the Hazardous and Solid 
Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) for which the State has not yet been 
authorized, the EPA will continue to enforce the Federal HSWA standards 
until the State is authorized for these provisions.

F. What will be the effect of Federal HSWA requirements on the 
codification?

    The EPA is not amending 40 CFR part 272 to include HSWA 
requirements and prohibitions that are implemented by EPA. Section 
3006(g) of RCRA provides that any HSWA requirement or prohibition 
(including implementing regulations) takes effect in authorized and not 
authorized States at the same time. A HSWA requirement or prohibition 
supersedes any less stringent or inconsistent State provision which may 
have been previously authorized by the EPA (50 FR 28702, July 15, 
1985). The EPA has the authority to implement HSWA requirements in all 
States, including authorized States, until the States become authorized 
for such requirement or prohibition. Authorized States are required to 
revise their programs to adopt the HSWA requirements and prohibitions, 
and then to seek authorization for those revisions pursuant to 40 CFR 
part 271.
    Instead of amending the 40 CFR part 272 every time a new HSWA 
provision takes effect under the authority of RCRA section 3006(g), the 
EPA will wait until the State receives authorization for its analog to 
the new HSWA provision before amending the State's 40 CFR part 272 
incorporation by reference. Until then, persons wanting to know whether 
a HSWA requirement or prohibition is in effect should refer to 40 CFR 
271.1(j), as amended, which lists each such provision.
    Some existing State requirements may be similar to the HSWA 
requirement implemented by the EPA. However, until the EPA authorizes 
those State requirements, the EPA can only enforce the HSWA 
requirements and not the State analogs. The EPA will not codify those 
State requirements until the State receives authorization for those 
requirements.
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 
rule authorizes and incorporates by reference Arkansas' authorized 
hazardous waste management regulations, and imposes no additional 
requirements beyond those imposed by State law. This final 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.). Incorporation 
by reference will not impose any new burdens on small entities. 
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 rule 
merely authorizes and incorporates by reference certain existing State 
hazardous waste management program requirements which the EPA already 
approves under 40 CFR part 271, 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).
    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 authorizes and incorporates 
by reference existing State hazardous waste management program 
requirements without altering the relationship or the distribution of 
power and responsibilities established by RCRA. This action also does 
not have Tribal implications within the meaning of Executive Order 
13175 (65 FR 67249, November 6, 2000).
    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 action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions 
Concerning Regulations That

[[Page 36544]]

Significantly Affect Energy Supply Distribution or Use'' (66 FR 28344, 
May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action under 
Executive Order 12866.
    Under RCRA 3006(b), the 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 the 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) do not apply.
    The final rule does not include environmental justice issues that 
require consideration under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 
16, 1994). 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. 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.
    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 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 August 27, 2010.
