It's not the STC expecting it, it's the system. The entire concatenation is 
authorized, or it's not, because it's critical for system security and 
integrity that an authorized program NOT load anything from an unauthorized 
library. Therefore, z/OS doesn't allow a partially authorized concatenation for 
STEPLIB/JOBLIB. 

If it were to allow that it would need to fail any loads from the unauthorized 
part of the concatenation anyway, so the user should remove the unauthorized 
library from the STEPLIB since the modules in it can't be used.
