| 2015-31881 | Texas: Final Authorization of State-Initiated Changes and Incorporation by Reference of State Hazardous Waste Management Program | Rule | During a review of Texas' regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identified a variety of State-initiated changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). We have determined that these changes are minor and satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for Final authorization and are authorizing the State-initiated changes through this direct Final action. In addition, this document corrects technical errors made in the September 3, 2014, Federal Register authorization document for Texas. The Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), allows the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to authorize States to operate their hazardous waste management programs in lieu of the Federal program. 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 the State statutes and regulations that will be subject to the EPA's inspection and enforcement. The rule codifies in the regulations the prior approval of Texas' hazardous waste management program and incorporates by reference authorized provisions of the State's statutes and regulations. | 2015-12-28 | 2015 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/12/28/2015-31881/texas-final-authorization-of-state-initiated-changes-and-incorporation-by-reference-of-state | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-12-28/pdf/2015-31881.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | During a review of Texas' regulations, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identified a variety of State-initiated changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
