On December 5, 2018, the State of Texas submitted a final complete program revision application seeking authorization of its program revision in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. EPA is finalizing its decision that Texas hazardous waste program revisions satisfy all the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. EPA will continue to implement and enforce Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 HSWA
provisions for which the State is not authorized. For a complete list of rules that become effective with this Final Rule, please see the Proposed Rule published in the November 5, 2020, Federal Register at 85 FR 70558.
B. What is codification and is the EPA
codifying Texas hazardous waste program as authorized in this rule?
Codification is the process of placing the States statutes and regulations that comprise the States authorized hazardous waste program into the Code of Federal Regulations CFR. We do this by referencing the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. We reserve the amendment of 40 CFR part 272 subpart SS for this authorization of Texas program changes until a later date. In this authorization application, the EPA
is not codifying the rules documented in the Proposed Rule published in the November 5, 2020, Federal Register at 85 FR 70558.
C. Administrative Requirements This final authorization revises Texas authorized hazardous waste management program pursuant to RCRA
section 3006 and imposes no requirements other than those currently imposed by State law. For further information on how this authorization complies with applicable Executive Orders and statutory provisions, please see the Proposed Rule published in the November 5, 2020, Federal Register at 85 FR 70558. 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. 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
