Action:
Annual Update 2024
Action 6633
General Information
| Action Summary |
The Virginia Hazardous Waste Management Regulations, 9VAC20-60, include citations and requirements in the form of federal regulatory text at Title 40 of the CFR which is incorporated by reference. This regulatory amendment, Annual Update 2024, will bring the citations up to date and incorporate the 2024 Annual edition of Title 40 of the CFR published on July 1, 2024.
With this regulatory action, the Board is adopting the following change that has been made to the CFR since the last update: the “Technical Corrections for the Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule, the Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals Rule, and the Definition of Solid Waste Rule,” which was published in the Federal Register on August 9, 2023, and modified on December 6, 2023, before becoming final on December 7, 2023. The rulemaking makes corrections and clarifications to specific provisions in these three rules, including fixing typographical errors, updating incorrect and outdated regulatory citations, and updating EPA’s physical address listed, among other minor clarifications. On December 6, 2023, EPA issued a partial withdrawal of eight amendments, and the remainder of the rule became final on December 7, 2023.
Section 2.2-4006 A 4 (c) of the Code of Virginia allows the Board to adopt this regulatory amendment to 9VAC20-60 as a final exempt action as the changes are necessary to conform to changes in the federal regulations.
