[EPA-R10-RCRA-2010-0947; FRL-9236-9]
Oregon; Correction of Federal Authorization of the State's
Hazardous Waste Management Program
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA Region 10 proposes to approve a correction to the
State of Oregon's federally authorized RCRA hazardous waste management
program. On January 7, 2010, EPA published a final rule under docket
EPA-R10-RCRA 2009-0766 granting final authorization for changes the
State of Oregon made to its federally authorized RCRA Hazardous Waste
Management Program. These authorized changes included, among others,
the Federal Recycled Used Oil Management Standards; Clarification rule,
promulgated on July 30, 2003. During a post-authorization review of the
State of Oregon's regulations, EPA identified that the Oregon
Administrative Rules (OAR), related to the federal used oil management
requirements (OAR 340-100-0002), had not been updated to include the
adoption of the Federal Recycled Used Oil Management Standards;
Clarification rule. Therefore, the State did not have an effective
state rule and EPA inaccurately referenced this rule in the State's
Final Authorization Action published and effective on January 7, 2010.
This action will correct the State of Oregon's federally authorized
program, by removing the inaccurate authorization reference to the
federal Recycled Used Oil Management Standards; Clarification rule.
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing on
or before January 10, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving Oregon's Authorization of State Hazardous
Waste Management Program Revision though a direct final rule without
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial
action and anticipates no adverse comments to this action. Unless we
get written adverse comments which oppose this approval during the
comment period, the direct final rule will become effective on the date
it establishes, and we will not take further action on this proposal.
If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be
withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a
subsequent final rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period
on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time. For additional information, see the direct
rule which is located in the Rules section of this Federal Register.
Dated: December 1, 2010.

Regional Administrator, EPA Region 10.
