SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Authorization of Revisions to North Dakota's Hazardous Waste Program 
and Clarification

    North Dakota submitted a final complete program revision 
application on September 20, 2016, and March 24, 2017, seeking 
authorization of their changes in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We now 
make a final decision that North Dakota's hazardous waste program 
revisions satisfy all of the requirements necessary to qualify for 
final authorization. For a list of rules that become effective with 
this final rule, please see the proposed rule published in the June 5, 
2018 Federal Register at 83 FR 25986. The EPA is making one 
clarification to the proposed rule with respect to the impact of the 
vacatur of certain provisions of the Revisions to the Definition of 
Solid Waste (DSW) Rule published on January 13, 2015 (80 FR 1694), by 
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Am. 
Petroleum Inst. v. EPA, 862 F.3d 50 (D.C. Cir. 2017) and Am. Petroleum 
Inst. v. EPA, No. 09-1038 (D.C. Cir. Mar. 6, 2018). On May 30, 2018 (83 
FR 24664; Response to Vacatur of Certain Provisions of the Definition 
of Solid Waste Rule), the EPA published a final which determined that 
for states such as North Dakota that had adopted the 2015 DSW rule, 
those state provisions will be considered broader in scope than the 
federal program as it pertains to the specific vacated provisions.

II. Incorporation by Reference

    In the proposed rule published on June 5, 2018 (83 FR 25986), the 
EPA also proposed to codify the EPA's authorization of North Dakota's 
base hazardous waste management program and the state's revisions to 
that program. In this action, the EPA is amending 40 CFR 272.1751 to 
incorporate by reference North Dakota's authorized hazardous waste 
statutes and regulations. In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 
51.5, the EPA is incorporating by reference North Dakota's authorized 
hazardous waste statutes and regulations as described in Section I, 
above. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials 
generally available electronically through http://www.regulations.gov 
and in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES 
section of this preamble for more information). Copies of the 
regulations that are incorporated by reference are also available from 
the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDH) from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 
p.m., 918 East Divide Avenue, 3rd Floor, Bismarck, North Dakota 58501-
1947, phone number (701) 328-5166. The public is advised to call in 
advance to verify business hours.
    Section 272.1751 also references material which is not being 
incorporated by reference, but which the EPA considered in determining 
the adequacy of North Dakota's program. Section 272.1751(c)(2) 
references the demonstration of adequate authority, including 
procedural and enforcement provisions, which provides the legal basis 
for the state's implementation of the hazardous waste management 
program. In addition, Sec.  272.1751(c)(5), (c)(6), and (c)(7) 
reference the Memorandum of Agreement, the Attorney General's 
Statements, and the Program Description, respectively. These documents 
are evaluated as part of the approval process of the hazardous waste 
management program in accordance with subtitle C of RCRA but are not 
part of the material to be incorporated by reference. The public is 
reminded that some provisions of North Dakota's hazardous waste 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. Federal rules for which North Dakota is not authorized, but 
which have been incorporated into the state regulations because of the 
way the state adopted federal regulations by reference;
    3. State procedural and enforcement authorities which are necessary 
to establish the ability of the state's program to enforce compliance, 
but which do not supplant the federal statutory enforcement and 
procedural authorities.
    4. Federal rules which North Dakota adopted, but which were vacated 
by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. 
Cir. No. 09-1038, rulings dated July 7, 2017, and March 6, 2018).
    State provisions that are ``broader in scope'' than the federal 
program are not incorporated by reference in 40 CFR part 272. For 
reference and clarity, the EPA lists in 40 CFR 272.1751(c)(3) the North 
Dakota statutory provisions that are ``broader in scope'' than the 
federal program, and which are not part of the authorized program being 
incorporated by reference. While ``broader in scope'' provisions are 
not part of the authorized program and cannot be enforced by the EPA, 
the state may enforce such provisions under state law.
    North Dakota has adopted, but is not authorized for, the federal 
rules published in the Federal Register on April 12, 1996 (61 FR 
16290); October 22, 1998 (63 FR 56710), and January 8, 2010 (75 FR 
1235). Therefore, these federal amendments included in North Dakota's 
adoption by reference at section 33-24-06-16.5 of the North Dakota 
Administrative Code, are not part of the state's authorized program and 
are not part of the incorporation by reference. The June 5, 2018 
proposed rule provides details about state provisions which are not 
part of this amendment to the CFR, as well as the effect of North 
Dakota's codification on enforcement and on federal requirements 
promulgated under the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 
(HSWA).

III. Administrative Requirements

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this action 
from the requirements of Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 
4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). This action 
authorizes and codifies state requirements for the purpose of RCRA 
section 3006 and imposes no additional requirements beyond those 
imposed by state law. Therefore, this action is not subject to review 
by OMB. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 
9339, February 3, 2017) because today's authorization and codification 
of North Dakota's revised hazardous waste program under RCRA is 
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.). Because this action authorizes and 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). 
This action will not have substantial direct effects on the states, on 
the relationship between the national

[[Page 54523]]

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 codifies 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 action 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), 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 note) do not apply. As required 
by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996), 
in issuing this action, 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 EPA has 
complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988) by 
examining the takings implications of the action 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 action 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).
    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 authorizes and 
codifies pre-existing state rules which are at least equivalent to, 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.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801-808, 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. 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 October 30, 2018.

Closing Hazardous Waste Management Facilities: Post-Closure Permit 
Requirement and Closure Process; Final Rule (HSWA/non-HSWA). The EPA 
will continue to implement the federal HSWA requirements for which 
North Dakota is not authorized until the state receives specific 
authorization for those requirements.
    (ii) The following federal rules are not delegable to states. North 
Dakota has adopted these provisions and left the authority to the EPA 
for implementation and enforcement: Imports and Exports of Hazardous 
Waste: Implementation of OECD Council Decision C(92)39 Concerning the 
Control of Transfrontier Movements of Wastes Destined for Recovery 
Operations, published April 12, 1996; and Revisions to the Requirements

Countries, Export Shipments of Spent Lead-Acid Batteries, Submitting 
Exception Reports for Export Shipments of Hazardous Wastes, and Imports 
of Hazardous Wastes, published January 8, 2010.
    (iii) North Dakota has adopted the following federal provisions 
from the Revisions to the Definition of Solid Waste Rule, published 
January 13, 2015, which have since been vacated by the U.S. Court of 
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Am. Petroleum Inst. v. 
EPA, 862 F.3d 50 (D.C. Cir. 2017) and Am. Petroleum Inst. v. EPA, No. 
09-1038 (D.C. Cir. Mar. 6, 2018) (vacating both the Factor 4 Legitimacy 
Test and the Verified Recycler Exclusion aspects of the 2015 DSW Rule): 
One criterion in the determination of whether recycling is legitimate 
at 40 CFR 260.43(a)(4); the verified recycler exclusion, which allowed 
generators to send their hazardous secondary materials to certain 
reclaimers at 40 CFR 261.4(a)(24); and the associated provisions at 40 
CFR 260.30(d) and 260.31(d), which address the criteria in the variance 
determination for exceptions to the classification of hazardous 
secondary materials as a solid waste. As a result, those state 
provisions will be considered broader in scope than the federal 
program, as it pertains to the specific vacated provisions, and are 
listed in Sec.  272.1751(c)(3)(iii) with the rest of North Dakota's 
broader in scope regulatory provisions).
    (5) Memorandum of Agreement. The Memorandum of Agreement between 
the EPA Region 8 and the State of North Dakota, signed by the 
Environmental Health Section of the North Dakota Department of Health 
on July 18, 2016, although not incorporated by reference, is referenced 
as part of the authorized hazardous waste management program under 
subtitle C of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6921 et seq.
    (6) Statement of Legal Authority. ``Attorney General's Statement: 
Hazardous Waste Management Program'' signed by the Attorney General of 
North Dakota on June 8, 1984, and revisions, supplements, and addenda
