ACTION: Immediate final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: Michigan has applied for final authorization of revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 as amended (hereinafter ``RCRA''). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has reviewed Michigan's application and has reached a decision, subject to public review and comment, that Michigan's hazardous waste program revisions satisfy all the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. Thus, EPA intends to approve Michigan's hazardous waste program revisions, subject to authority retained by EPA under the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (hereinafter HSWA). Michigan's application for program revision is available for public review and comment. EFFECTIVE DATE: Final authorization for Michigan's program revisions shall be effective April 8, 1996 unless EPA publishes a prior Federal Register (FR) action withdrawing this immediate final rule. All comments on Michigan's program revision application must be received by the close of business on March 9, 1996. If an adverse comment is received, EPA will publish either: (1) A withdrawal of the immediate final decision; or (2) a notice containing a response to comments which either affirms that the immediate final decision takes effect or reverses the decision. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Ms. Judy Feigler, Michigan Regulatory Specialist, U.S. EPA, Office of RCRA, DR-7J, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, phone (312) 886-4179.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Judy Feigler, Michigan Regulatory Specialist, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region V, Office of RCRA, DR-7J, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, Phone: (312) 886-4179. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background States with final authorization under section 3006(b) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), have a continuing obligation to maintain a hazardous waste program that is equivalent to, consistent with, and no less stringent than the Federal hazardous waste program. In accordance with 40 CFR 271.21(a), revisions to State hazardous waste programs are necessary when Federal or State statutory or regulatory authority is modified or when certain other changes occur. Most commonly, State program revisions are necessary because of changes to EPA's regulations in 40 CFR parts 124, 260-268 and 270. B. Michigan Michigan initially received final authorization for its base RCRA program effective on October 30, 1986 (51 FR 36804-36805, October 16, 1986). Michigan received authorization for revisions to its program effective on January 23, 1990 (54 FR 225, November 24, 1989), June 24, 1991 (56 FR 18517, April 23, 1991), November 30, 1993 (58 FR 51244, October 1, 1993), and January 13, 1995 (60 FR 3095, January 13, 1995). On June 18, 1994, Michigan revised its hazardous waste rules. On March 30, 1995, Michigan recodified its hazardous waste statute, Act 64, in Part 111 of the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Act, 1994 Public Act 451, as amended (Act 451). On November 9, 1995, Michigan completed a revision application seeking authorization for the program revisions. EPA has reviewed this application and has made an immediate final decision that Michigan's hazardous waste program revision satisfies all the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. Consequently, EPA intends to grant final authorization to Michigan for its additional program revisions. The public may submit written comments on EPA's immediate final decision up until March 9, 1996. Copies of Michigan's application for program revision are available for inspection and copying at the locations [[Page 4743]] indicated in the Addresses section of this notice. Approval of Michigan's program revision shall become effective in 60 days unless an adverse comment pertaining to the State's revision discussed in this notice is received by the end of the comment period. If an adverse comment is received, EPA will publish either (1) a withdrawal of the immediate final decision, or (2) a notice containing a response to comments which either affirms that the immediate final decision takes effect or reverses the decision. On April 8, 1996 (unless EPA publishes a prior FR action withdrawing this immediate final rule), Michigan will be authorized to carry out, in lieu of the Federal program, those provisions of the State's program which are analogous to the following Federally- initiated changes to provisions of the Federal program: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Federal requirement Analogous State authority ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hazardous and Used Oil Fuel Michigan Combined Laws (MCL), Criminal Penalties, HSWA Secs.

EPA will suspend issuance of any further permits under the provisions for which the State is being authorized on the effective date of this authorization. EPA has previously suspended issuance of permits for the other provisions on October 30, 1986; January 23, 1990; and June 24, 1991, the effective dates of Michigan's final authorizations for the RCRA base program and for the Non-HSWA Cluster I, Cluster II, and Cluster III revisions. Michigan is not authorized to operate the Federal program on Indian lands. This authority remains with EPA unless provided otherwise in a future statute or regulation. C. Decision I conclude that Michigan's application for program revision meets all the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA. Accordingly, Michigan is granted final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program as revised. Michigan now has responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, and disposal facilities within its borders and carrying out other aspects of the RCRA program described in its revised program application, subject to the limitations of the HSWA. Michigan also has primary enforcement responsibilities, although EPA retains the right to conduct inspections under Section 3007 of RCRA and to take enforcement actions under Sections 3008, 3013, and 7003 of RCRA. D. Incorporation by Reference EPA incorporates by reference authorized State programs in part 272 of 40 CFR to provide notice to the public of the scope of the authorized program in each State. Incorporation by reference of these revisions to the Michigan program will be completed at a later date. Compliance With Executive Order 12291 The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the requirements of section 3 of Executive Order 12291. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Pub. L. 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year. When a written statement is needed for an EPA rule, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt the least costly, most cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205 do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover, section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least costly, most cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative if the Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation why that alternative was not adopted. Before EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that may significantly or uniquely affect small governments, including tribal governments, it must have developed under section 203 of the UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must provide for notifying potentially affected small governments, giving them meaningful and timely input in the development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and advising them on compliance with the regulatory requirements. EPA has determined that this rule does not contain a Federal mandate that [[Page 4747]] may result in expenditures of $100 million or more for State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or the private sector in any one year. EPA does not anticipate that the approval of Michigan's hazardous waste program referenced in today's notice will result in annual costs of $100 million or more. EPA's approval of State programs generally have a deregulatory effect on the private sector because once it is determined that a State hazardous waste program meets the requirements of RCRA section 3006(b) and the regulations promulgated thereunder at 40 CFR part 271, owners and operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (TSDFs) may take advantage of the flexibility that an approved State may exercise. Such flexibility will reduce, not increase, compliance costs for the private sector. Thus, today's rule is not subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA. EPA has determined that this rule contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The Agency recognizes that small governments may own and/ or operate TSDFs that will become subject to the requirements of an approved State hazardous waste program. However, such small governments which own and/or operate TSDFs are already subject to the requirements in 40 CFR parts 264, 265, and 270. Once EPA authorizes a State to administer its own hazardous waste program and any revisions to that program, these same small governments will be able to own and operate their TSDFs with increased levels of flexibility provided under the approved State program. Certification Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act Pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 605(b), I hereby certify that this authorization will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This authorization effectively suspends the applicability of certain Federal regulations in favor of Michigan's program thereby eliminating duplicative requirements for handlers of hazardous waste in the State. It does not impose any new burdens on small entities. This rule, therefore, does not require a regulatory flexibility analysis. Paperwork Reduction Act Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal agencies must consider the paperwork burden imposed by any information request contained in a proposed rule or a final rule. This rule will not impose any information requirements upon the regulated community.
