Sec. 272.1300  State authorization.


    (a) The State of Missouri is authorized to administer and enforce a 
hazardous waste management program in lieu of the Federal program under 
Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA), 
42 U.S.C. 6921 et seq., subject to the Hazardous and Solid Waste 
Amendments of 1984 (HSWA), (Pub. L. 98-616, Nov. 8, 1984), 42 U.S.C. 
6926 (c) and (g)). The Federal program for which a State may receive 
authorization is defined in 40 CFR part 271. The State's program, as 
administered by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources was 
approved by EPA pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6926(b) and part 271 of this 
Chapter. EPA's approval was effective on December 4, 1985 (50 FR 47740, 
November 20, 1985).
    (b) Missouri is not authorized to implement any HSWA requirements in 
lieu of EPA unless EPA has explicitly indicated its intent to allow such 
action in a Federal Register notice granting Missouri authorization.
    (c) Missouri has primary responsibility for enforcing its hazardous 
waste program. However, EPA retains the authority to exercise its 
enforcement authorities under sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003 of 
RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6927, 6928, 6934, and 6973, as well as under other 
Federal laws and regulations.
    (d) Missouri must revise its approved program to adopt new changes 
to the Federal Subtitle C program in accordance with section 3006(b) of 
RCRA and 40 CFR part 271, subpart A. Missouri must seek final 
authorization for all program revisions pursuant to section 3006(b) of 
RCRA, but, on a temporary basis, may seek interim authorization for 
revisions required by HSWA pursuant to section 3006(g) of RCRA, 42 
U.S.C. 6926(g). If Missouri obtains final authorization for the revised 
requirements pursuant to section 3006(g), the newly authorized 
provisions will be listed in Sec. 272.1301 of this subpart. If Missouri 
obtains interim authorization for the revised requirements pursuant to 
section 3006(g), the newly authorized provision will be listed in 
Sec. 227.1302.
