Louisiana: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Immediate final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The State of Louisiana has applied for final authorization of 
revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) has reviewed Louisiana's application and determined that 
its hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of the requirements 
necessary to qualify for final authorization. Unless adverse written 
comments are received during the review and comment period provided for 
public participation in this process, EPA intends to approve 
Louisiana's hazardous waste program revision subject to the authority 
retained by EPA in accordance with Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments 
of 1984. Louisiana's application for the program revision is available 
for public review and comment.

DATES: This authorization for Louisiana shall be effective June 11, 
1996 unless EPA publishes a prior Federal Register (FR) action 
withdrawing this immediate final rule. All comments on Louisiana's 
program revision application must be received by the close of business 
May 12, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Louisiana program revision application and the 
materials which EPA used in evaluating the revision are available for 
inspection and copying from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday 
at the following addresses: Louisiana Department of Environmental 
Quality, H.B. Garlock Building, 7290 Bluebonnet, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 
70810, phone (504) 765-0617 and U.S. EPA, Region 6 Library, 12th Floor, 
First Interstate Bank Tower at Fountain Place, 1445 Ross Avenue,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    States authorized under section 3006(b) of the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (``RCRA or the Act''), 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. 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 necessitated by changes to EPA's 
regulations in 40 CFR parts 124, 260-268, and 270.

B. Louisiana

    Louisiana initially received final authorization on February 7, 
1985 (see 50 FR 3348), to implement its base hazardous waste management 
program. Louisiana received authorization for revisions to its program 
on January 29, 1990 (see 54 FR 48889), October 25, 1991 (see 56 FR 
41958), and Corrections at (56 FR 51762), effective January 23, 1995 
(see 59 FR 55368-55371), and Corrections at (see 60 FR 18360), March 8, 
1995 (see 59 FR 66200) and January 2, 1996 (see 60 FR 53707). On 
December 11, 1995, Louisiana submitted a final complete program 
revision application for additional program approvals. Today, Louisiana 
is seeking approval of its program revision in accordance with 40 CFR 
271.21(b)(3).
    In 1983, the Louisiana legislature adopted Act 97, which amended 
and reenacted Louisiana Revised Statutes 30:1051 et seq., the 
Environmental Affairs Act. This Act created the Louisiana Department of 
Environmental Quality (LDEQ), which has lead agency jurisdictional 
authority for administering the RCRA Subtitle C program in the State.
    EPA reviewed Louisiana's application and made an immediate final 
decision that Louisiana's hazardous waste program revision satisfies 
all of the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. 
Consequently, EPA intends to grant authorization for the additional 
program modifications to Louisiana. The public may submit written 
comments on EPA's proposed final decision until May 12, 1996. Copies of 
LDEQ's application for program revision are available for inspection 
and copying at the locations indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this 
document.
    Approval of LDEQ's program revision shall become effective 75 days 
from the date this notice is published, unless an adverse written 
comment pertaining to the State's revision discussed in this notice is 
received by the end of the comment period. If an adverse written 
comment is received, EPA will publish either (1) a withdrawal of the 
immediate final decision or (2) a notice containing a response to the 
comment which either affirms that the immediate final decision takes 
effect or reverses the decision.
    Louisiana's program revision application includes State regulatory

[[Page 13778]]
changes that are equivalent to the rules promulgated in the Federal 
RCRA implementing regulations in 40 CFR parts 124, 260-262, 264, 265, 
266, and 270 that were published in the FR from July 1, 1987, through 
June 30, 1993. This proposed approval includes the provisions that are 
listed in the chart below. This chart also lists the State analogs that 
are being recognized as equivalent to the appropriate Federal 
requirements.

------------------------------------------------------------------------



    Louisiana is not authorized to operate the Federal program on 
Indian lands, This authority remains with EPA.

C. Decision

    I conclude that Louisiana's application for program revision meets 
all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA. 
Accordingly, Louisiana is granted final authorization to operate its 
hazardous waste program as revised. Louisiana now has responsibility 
for permitting treatment, storage, and disposal facilities within its 
borders and for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA program described 
in its revised program application, subject to the limitations of the 
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments. Louisiana 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. Codification in Part 272

    EPA uses 40 CFR part 272 for codification of the decision to 
authorize Louisiana's program and for incorporation by reference of 
those provisions of Louisiana's Statutes and regulations that EPA will 
enforce under sections 3008, 3013, and 7003 of RCRA. Therefore, EPA is 
reserving amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart T until a later date.

Compliance with Executive Order 12866

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the 
requirements of section 3 of Executive Order 12866.

Certification Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Pursuant to the provisions of 4 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 
Louisiana's program, thereby eliminating duplicative requirements for 
handlers of

[[Page 13782]]
hazardous waste in the State. This authorization does not impose any 
new burdens on small entities. This rule, therefore, does not require a 
regulatory flexibility analysis.
