ACTION: Technical correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: On April 8, 1996, EPA published regulations covering both congressionally-mandated and court-ordered prohibitions on land disposal of certain hazardous wastes. On the same day, EPA published a partial withdrawal and correction of those regulations to the extent the Land Disposal Program Flexibility Act (LDPFA) (signed by the President on March 26, 1996) revoked most of the court-ordered prohibitions. This notice corrects technical errors in the final regulations and the partial withdrawal notice. EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on June 28, 1996. ADDRESSES: Supporting materials are available for viewing in the RCRA Information Center (RIC), located at Crystal Gateway One, 1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, First Floor, Arlington, VA.

Reasons and Basis for Today's Amendment The Agency has received comments from the regulated community and State agencies requesting clarification on certain aspects of the April 8, 1996 Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) Phase III final rule (61 FR 15566) and the April 8, 1996 withdrawal notice (61 FR 15660). Today's amendment responds to these comments and makes technical corrections where appropriate. II. Amendments to the LDR Phase III Final Rule There were several errors in the treatment standard table in Sec. 268.40, and in the table of Universal Treatment Standards (UTS) in Sec. 268.48. The errors pertained to portions of the final rule which were not affected by the LDPFA. It should be noted that certain errors in both of these tables are not being corrected here as they are being corrected by the Office of Federal Register. A. Section 268.40 Table There were several errors in the table ``Treatment Standards for Hazardous [[Page 33681]] Waste'' in section 268.40. First, the waste codes for the proposed organobromine wastes--K140 and U404--inadvertently appeared in the table. As was explained in the preamble to the final rule (61 FR 15566, 15569, April 8, 1996), however, the Agency is not promulgating treatment standards for these wastes at this time since the listing of these wastes as hazardous has not been finalized. Today's notice removes these entries from the table. Second, the treatment standards set out in the table for the carbamate wastes were incorrect. These entries reflected the waste codes and constituents in the proposed listing instead of the waste codes and constituents in the finalized listing (60 FR 7824, February 9, 1995). These entries also are being corrected in today's notice. Third, the entries for F006, F007, F010, F037, F039, K006, and K062 included treatment standards for constituents for which previously there was no standard (``NA'' had appeared instead). The proposed rule had included treatment standards to replace all of the ``NA'' entries in the table. However, as was explained in the preamble to the final rule (61 FR at 15569), the Agency agreed with commenters who felt it was arbitrary to add a standard for the sake of completeness where previously there was none, and, therefore, the Agency did not finalize the proposed changes. However, EPA inadvertently continued to include the standard for these waste codes in the final rule. Today's notice restores the ``NA'' entries. B. Section 268.48 Table The wastewater treatment standards for A2213, Butylate, Cycloate, EPTC, Molinate, Pebulate, Prosulfocarb, Triallate, and Vernolate appeared in the table of UTS as 0.003, although the preamble gave the correct standard as 0.042 (61 FR 15584). Today's notice corrects the UTS table. III. Amendments to the LDR Phase III Withdrawal Notice There are four sections in the withdrawal notice that need correction/clarification--Secs. 148.1, 268.1, 268.3, and 268.40. A. Section 148.1 The Agency today is amending the language in Sec. 148.1(d) to more accurately reflect the recently enacted LDPFA. The revised language clarifies that decharacterized wastes injected in any Class I injection well--either hazardous or nonhazardous--are not prohibited wastes, and, therefore, are not subject to the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) treatment standards. This result was alluded to in the April 8, 1996 withdrawal notice (61 FR 15661), but the Agency believes it is appropriate to further make it clear that both hazardous and nonhazardous Class I wells are excepted, as provided in the text of the legislation. B. Section 268.1 The Agency also is amending the language in Sec. 268.1(c) to mirror the amended language in Sec. 148.1(d) described above. We also are clarifying that decharacterized wastewaters managed in Clean Water Act (CWA) or equivalent systems with land disposal units are not prohibited wastes, and, thus, are not subject to LDR treatment standards. As provided in the legislation, the decharacterized wastes managed in CWA or CWA-equivalent systems which remain prohibited are those that have a specified ``method of treatment'' for a treatment standard, or are reactive cyanide wastes. This clarification was also alluded to in the April 8, 1996 withdrawal notice (61 FR 15661). C. Section 268.3 The Agency is today amending the dilution prohibition language in Sec. 268.3(b) to clarify that the treatment method of deactivation (DEACT) is not considered a specified method of treatment for the purposes of that section. This change merely codifies existing Agency interpretation (see preamble discussion at 55 FR 22666, June 1, 1990; and 57 FR 8087-8088, March 6, 1992). D. Section 268.40 As discussed in A. and B. of this section, decharacterized wastes managed in CWA or CWA-equivalent systems (with land disposal units receiving the decharacterized waste) are no longer prohibited wastes, with the exception of characteristic wastes that have a specified method as a treatment standard and reactive cyanide. All decharacterized wastes injected into Class I wells also are no longer prohibited wastes. In the rush of preparing a notice to reflect the new legislation as quickly as possible, EPA inadvertently failed to remove the numerical standards for these categories of wastes and replace them with the characteristic level (61 FR at 15664-15668). Therefore, the treatment standards in the April 8 withdrawal notice for these wastes were in error. For instance, the wastewater treatment standard for benzene in D018 wastes that are managed in CWA, CWA equivalent, or Class I injection wells was given as 0.14 mg/l. In fact, a D018 wastewater managed in one of these systems need only meet the regulatory level of 0.5 mg/l to be rendered nonhazardous (i.e. decharacterized) and, hence, no longer prohibited. Today's notice corrects this mistake by removing that category from the table of Treatment Standards for Hazardous Wastes, and indicating via a footnote that these wastes, once decharacterized, are no longer subject to LDR treatment standards. The Agency wishes to clarify further that these non-LDR wastes also are not subject to the LDR notification and certification requirements of Sec. 268.7 and Sec. 268.9. IV. Clarification to the Phase III Withdrawal Notice Under RCRA regulations in effect before the LDPFA, wastes that are listed solely because they exhibit a hazardous characteristic are not prohibited from land disposal if they are managed in CWA, CWA- equivalent, or Class I injection well systems and are no longer hazardous at the point of land disposal. Id.; see also the codification of this principle at 40 CFR 261.3(a)(2)(iii) and 57 FR at 37210-211 (August 18, 1992). (The exception is for listed wastes that are subject to a method of treatment; these wastes cannot be disposed of in CWA or equivalent systems. See 55 FR at 22656, 22657 (general principle in Third Third final rule that characteristic wastes subject to a method of treatment remain subject to dilution prohibition even when managed in CWA treatment systems) and 57 FR 37210 (same principle should apply to wastes listed solely because they exhibit a characteristic). In the April 8, 1996 withdrawal notice, EPA stated that it would not, at least for the time being, reopen those land disposal restriction rules applicable to wastes listed solely because they exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic (e.g. U002 commercial chemical product acetone). See 61 FR at 15661-62. This is because the new legislation does not directly apply to such wastes. Id. EPA is taking this opportunity to clarify that the existing rules on wastes listed solely because they exhibit a characteristic apply to all wastes, regardless of whether they are wastewaters or non- wastewaters, so long as they are managed in the prescribed types of wastewater management systems. Notwithstanding unclear language in the August, 1992 preamble cited above, what the Agency intended to do was to put wastes listed solely because they exhibit a characteristic on [[Page 33682]] the same footing vis-a-vis the dilution prohibition as the characteristic wastes covered by the Third Third rule. 57 FR at 37210. Under that Third Third rule, most characteristic wastes (whether or not they were in the wastewater or nonwastewater treatability group) could be permissibly be managed in CWA systems and Class I UIC injection wells so long as they were rendered non-hazardous by any means before being placed in a land disposal unit (i.e. surface impoundment or Class I injection well). 55 FR at 22656-658 (June 1, 1990). EPA is formally clarifying this point by means of today's preamble discussion. V. Rationale for Immediate Effective Date Today's notice does not create any new regulatory requirements; rather, it restates and clarifies requirements already in effect (by virtue of the new legislation) by correcting a number of errors in the April 8, 1996 final rule and withdrawal notice. For these reasons, EPA finds that good cause exists under section 3010(b)(3) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 9903(b)(3), to provide for an immediate effective date. See generally 61 FR at 15662. For the same reasons, EPA finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3) to promulgate today's corrections in final form and that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3) to waive the requirement that regulations be published at least 30 days before they become effective. VI. Analysis Under Executive Order 12866, the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and the Paperwork Reduction Act This technical correction does not create any new regulatory requirements. It merely corrects technical errors and clarifies requirements already in effect (by virtue of the new legislation) and therefore is not a ``significant'' regulatory action within the meaning of Executive Order 12866, and does not impose any Federal mandate on State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector within the meaning of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. For the same reasons, pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that this action would not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Finally, because this is a technical correction, it does not affect requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act. VII. Submission to Congress and the General Accounting Office Under section 801(a)(1)(A) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, EPA submitted a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives and the Comptroller General of the General Accounting Office prior to publication of the rule in today's Federal Register. This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by section 804(2) of the APA as amended.
