| 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 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) which is incorporated by reference. This regulatory amendment, Annual Update 2022, will bring the citations up to date and incorporate the 2022 Annual edition of Title 40 of the CFR published on July 1, 2022. The incorporation by reference of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations includes the provisions of EPA’s Increasing Recycling: Adding Aerosol Cans to the Universal Waste Regulations (84 FR 67202 12/9/2019). However, this regulatory update does not include EPA’s Conforming Changes to Canada-Specific Hazardous Waste Import-Export Recovery and Disposal Operation Codes, (86 FR 54381 10/1/2021) which will be adopted during the next regulatory update cycle. Sections 2.2-4006 A 4 (c) of the Code of Virginia allow 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. |
