RCRA REVISION CHECKLIST 39

California List Waste Restrictions
52 FR 25760-25792
July 8, 1987
as amended on October 27, 1987, at 52 FR 41295-41296
(HSWA Cluster II)

Notes:  1)  The following Part 268 sections are not delegable to States because of the national concerns which must be examined when decisions are made relative to them: 268.5 (case-by-case effective date extensions); 268.42(b) (application for alternate treatment method); and 268.44 (variance from a treatment standard).  "No migration" petitions under 268.6 will be handled by EPA, even though States may be authorized to grant such petitions in the future.  States have the authority to grant such petitions under RCRA Section 3006 because such decisions do not require a national perspective, as is the case for decisions under 268.5, 268.42(b) or 268.44.  However, EPA has had few opportunities to implement the land disposal restrictions and expects to gain valuable experience and information from reviewing "no-migration" petitions.

2)  In the past, the nondelegable sections/paragraphs of the LDR regulations have been omitted from the LDR checklists because States could not assume the authority for them.  However, this procedure has led to confusion among the States on how to handle the sections/paragraphs in their code.  For this reason, the Agency has decided to include these nondelegable sections on the LDR checklists.  To differentiate these sections from the delegable portions of the LDR restrictions, asterisks precede (a single row) and follow (a double row) each non-delegable section.  If States have already filled out a version of Revision Checklist 39 which does not include the nondelegable sections, they need not fill out a revised version containing these sections.  This change in format was made only to improve clarity.

The Agency suggests that States incorporate the nondelegable portions of the LDR regulation into their regulations.  It is essential, however, that States leave the terms "Administrator", "Federal Register" and "Agency" unchanged, i.e., States may not substitute analogous State terms for these Federal terms.  Similarly, States incorporating by reference must be careful to except these sections from blanket substitutions of State terms for Federal terms.  For a more complete discussion of issues surrounding nondelagable sections, see Appendix J of the State Authorization Manual (SAM).

3)  Note that while 268.40(b) is delegable to States, "Administrator" in the following phrase "approved by the Administrator under the procedures set forth in 268.42(b)" should not be replaced with an analogous State term because it is referring to decisions under 268.42(b) which will be made by the EPA Administrator.

4)  Revision Checklist 50 (53 FR 31138, August 17, 1988) amends certain sections of code addressed by Revision Checklist 39, but does not affect the delegability outlined in the previous note.  Other related Checklists include Revision Checklist 62 (54 FR 18836, May 2, 1989), Revision Checklist 63 (54 FR 26594, June 23, 1989), Revision Checklist 66 (54 FR 36967, September 6, 1989), Revision Checklist 78 (55 FR 22520, June 1, 1990), and Revision Checklist 83 (56 FR 3864, January 31, 1991).
