Indiana: Final Authorization of Revisions to State Hazardous 
Waste Management Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Immediate final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Indiana 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). Indiana's revisions 
consist of provisions contained in rules promulgated between January 
14, 1985, and June 26, 1992, otherwise known as HSWA Clusters I and II, 
Non-HSWA Clusters III, IV, V, and VI, and RCRA Clusters 1 and 2. These 
requirements are listed in Section B of this notice. The Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) has reviewed Indiana's application and has made 
a decision, subject to public review and comment, that Indiana's 
hazardous waste program revisions satisfy all of the requirements 
necessary to qualify for final authorization. Thus, EPA intends to 
approve Indiana's hazardous waste program revisions, subject to 
authority retained by EPA under the Hazardous and Solid Waste 
Amendments of 1984 (hereinafter HSWA). Indiana's application for 
program revision is available for public review and comment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: Final authorization for Indiana shall be effective 
October 21, 1996 unless EPA publishes a prior Federal Register action 
withdrawing this immediate final rule. All comments on Indiana's 
program revision application must be received by the close of business 
September 19, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Copies of Indiana's program revision application are 
available for inspection and copying, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the 
following addresses: Indiana Department of Environmental Management,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    States with final authorization under Section 3006(b) of the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA or the Act), 42 U.S.C. 
6929(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 addition, as an interim 
measure, the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-
616, November 8, 1984, hereinafter HSWA) allows States to revise their 
programs to become substantially equivalent instead of equivalent to 
RCRA requirements promulgated under HSWA authority. States exercising 
the latter option receive interim authorization for the HSWA 
requirements under Section 3006(g) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6926(g), and 
later apply for final authorization for the HSWA requirements.
    In accordance with 40 CFR 271.21, 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, 260-266, 268, 270, 273 and 279.

B. Indiana

    Indiana initially received final authorization for its program 
effective January 31, 1986. (51 FR 3955, January 30, 1986). Indiana 
received authorization for revisions to its program effective on 
December 31, 1986 (51 FR 39752, October 31, 1986), January 19, 1988 (53 
FR 128, January 5, 1988), September 11, 1989 (54 FR 29557, July 13, 
1989), September 23, 1991 (56 FR 33717, July 23, 1991), September 23, 
1991 (56 FR 33866, July 24, 1991), September 27, 1991 (56 FR 35831, 
July 29, 1991), and September 30, 1991 (56 FR 36010, July 30, 1991). On 
June 10, 1996, Indiana submitted a program revision application for 
additional program approvals. Today, Indiana is seeking approval of its 
program revision in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21(b)(3).
    EPA has reviewed Indiana's application, and has made an immediate 
final decision that Indiana's hazardous waste program revisions satisfy 
all of the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. 
Consequently, EPA intends to grant final authorization for the 
additional program modifications to Indiana. The public may submit 
written comments on EPA's immediate final decision up until September 
19, 1996. Copies of Indiana's application for program revision are 
available for inspection and copying at the locations indicated in the 
Addresses section of this notice.
    Approval of Indiana'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 October 21, 1996, Indiana 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 provisions of the Federal program:

\1\ Indicates HSWA Provision.                                           
CL=Checklist.                                                           


    EPA shall administer any RCRA hazardous waste permits, or portions 
of permits, that contain conditions based upon the Federal program 
provisions for which the State is applying for authorization, and which 
were issued by EPA prior to the effective date of this authorization. 
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 January 31, 1986, January 5, 1988, July 13, 1989, 
July 29, 1991, and July 30, 1991, the effective dates of Indiana's 
final authorizations for the RCRA base program and for the subsequent 
program revisions, respectively.
    This authorization includes authorization for Indiana to impose 
certain land disposal prohibitions. Under 40 CFR 268.6, EPA may grant 
petitions of specific duration to allow land disposal of certain 
hazardous wastes provided certain criteria are met. States that have 
authority to impose land disposal prohibitions may ultimately be 
authorized under RCRA Section 3006 to grant petitions for such 
exemptions. However, EPA is currently requiring that these petitions be 
handled at EPA Headquarters. It should be noted that Indiana has its 
own procedures for petition submission and approval to allow land 
disposal of a prohibited waste. Therefore, the petitioner must satisfy 
both Federal and Indiana requirements, and be granted approval by both 
EPA and the State.
    Indiana 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 Indiana's application for program revisions meets 
all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA, 
and its amendments. Accordingly, Indiana is granted final authorization 
to operate its hazardous waste program as revised. Indiana now has 
responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, and disposal 
facilities within its borders and carrying out the aspects of the RCRA 
program described in its revised program application, subject to the 
limitations of the HSWA. Indiana 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 40 CFR 
Part 272, to provide notice to the public of the scope of the 
authorized program in each State. Incorporation by reference of the 
Indiana program will be completed at a later date.

Compliance With Executive Order 12866

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the 
requirements of Section 6 of Executive Order 12866.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public 
Law 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 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 Indiana'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

[[Page 43023]]

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

    EPA has determined that this authorization will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
EPA recognizes that small entities may own and/or operate TSDFs that 
will become subject to the requirements of an approved state hazardous 
waste program. However, since such small entities which own and/or 
operate TSDFs are already subject to the requirements in 40 CFR Parts 
264, 265 and 270, this authorization does not impose any additional 
burdens on these small entities. This is because EPA's authorization 
would result in an administrative change (i.e., whether EPA or the 
state administers the RCRA Subtitle C program in that state), rather 
than result in a change in the substantive requirements imposed on 
small entities. Once EPA authorizes a state to administer its own 
hazardous waste program and any revisions to that program, these same 
small entities will be able to own and operate their TSDFs under the 
approved state program, in lieu of the federal program. Moreover, this 
authorization, in approving a state program to operate in lieu of the 
federal program, eliminates duplicative requirements for owners and 
operators of TSDFs in that particular state.
    Therefore, EPA provides the following certification under the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, as amended by the Small Business Regulatory 
Enforcement Fairness Act. Pursuant to the provision at 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 approves the Indiana program to operate in 
lieu of the federal 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.

Submission to Congress and the General Accounting Office

    Under 5 U.S.C. section 801(a)(1)(A) as added 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 5 
U.S.C. section 804(2).

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.
