Summary:  This rule approves use of EPA Method 1664, Revision A: N‑Hexane Extractable Material (HEM; Oil and Grease) and Silica Gel Treated N‑Hexane Extractable Material (SGT‑HEM; Non‑polar Material) by Extraction and Gravimetry (hereafter Method 1664) for use in EPA's Clean Water Act (CWA) programs, and incorporates Method 1664 by reference for use in EPA's Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) programs. The rule also deletes Method 9070 and adds revised Method 9071B as Update IIIA to the Third Edition of the EPA-approved test methods manual SW-846.  EPA has taken these actions as a part of the Agency’s effort to reduce dependency on use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) to protect Earth's ozone layer and to meet the CFC phaseout agreed to in the Montreal Protocol and required by the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990.

State Authorization:  This rule is placed in RCRA Cluster IX.  The State modification deadline is July 1, 2000 (or July 1, 2001 if a State statutory change is necessary).  These changes do not go into effect until States become authorized for them because this rule was promulgated under pre-HSWA authorities.  Only final authorization is available.

The State Revision Application must include applicable statutes and regulations, Revision Checklist 180, and other application materials, i.e. a supplemental AG statement, a program description, and/or an MOA, as determined by the Regional office.  Note that under 271.21(b), the Regional office is allowed flexibility to determine what specific documents must be included in an application.  Also, under 40 CFR 271.21(d), the Regional office may require the submission of any additional application materials it deems necessary.
