North Dakota: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions and Incorporation by Reference

The state of North Dakota has applied to the EPA for final authorization of the changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The EPA has reviewed North Dakota's application and has determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization and is proposing to authorize the state's changes. 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 state statutes and regulations that will be subject to the EPA's inspection and enforcement. This action also proposes to codify in the regulations the authorized provisions of North Dakota's hazardous waste management program and to incorporate by reference authorized provisions of the state's regulations. Finally, today's rule corrects errors made in the state authorization citations published in the February 14, 2008 Federal Register authorization document for North Dakota.
