Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation; Underground Injection
Control (UIC) Program; Primacy Program Approval
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Approval of Montana Underground Injection Control Program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The state of Montana, through the Montana Board of Oil and Gas
Conservation (MBOGC) has submitted an application to EPA under Section
1425 of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), 42 U.S.C. 300h-1, for
approval of an Underground Injection Control (UIC) program governing
Class II (i.e., oil and gas) injection wells. After careful review of
the application, the EPA has determined that the MBOCG's UIC program
for Class II injection wells meets the requirements of the SDWA and,
therefore, approves it.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This approval shall become effective on November 19,
1996. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of November 19, 1996.
ADDRESSES: The public docket and support documents for this rulemaking
are available for review during normal business hours at the
Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite
500, Denver, CO 80202-2466.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul S. Osborne, Ground Water Program
(8P2-W-GW); Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th
Street, Room 4P-114, Denver, CO 80202-2466, Phone: 303-312-6125.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Part C of the SDWA contains provisions for
state administration of UIC programs. Section 1421 of the SDWA requires
the Administrator to promulgate minimum requirements for effective
State programs to prevent underground injection activities which
endanger underground sources of drinking water (USDW). To obtain
federal approval, the State must submit to the Administrator an
application showing that the State: (1) has adopted, after reasonable
notice and public hearings, a UIC program that meets the requirements
of regulations in effect under section 1421 of the SDWA; and (2) will
keep such records and make such reports with respect to its UIC program
as the Administrator may require by regulations. After reasonable
opportunity for public comment, the Administrator shall, by rule,
approve, disapprove, or approve in part, the State UIC program.
The SDWA was amended on December 5, 1980, to include section 1425.
Section 1425 established an alternative method by which a State may
obtain primary enforcement responsibility for a UIC program to regulate
the following types of injection practices: injection of fluids
produced during oil or gas production, injection of fluids for the
storage of hydrocarbons, and injection of fluids for enhanced recovery
of oil and natural gas. Specifically, instead of meeting the federal
regulations in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 124, 144,
145, 148, and the related technical criteria and standards in 40 CFR
part 146, a State may demonstrate that its program meets the more
general statutory requirements of section 1421(b)(1)(A) through (D) and
represents an effective program to prevent endangerment of USDWs.
On September 14, 1995, the MBOGC submitted a complete application
under Section 1425 of SDWA, for primary enforcement authority for Class
II wells on all State, private, and federal leases in Montana,
excluding those on land within Indian Country. EPA published notice in
the FR on December 15, 1995, to request public comments, and to
schedule a public hearing. A similar public notice was also published
in a daily Montana newspaper on December 15, 1995. A public hearing was
held on January 18, 1996, in Billings, Montana. No significant negative
comments were received. The comments, which were generally supportive
of the MBOGC's application, and a responsiveness summary are contained
in the public record for today's decision.
After careful review of the application and comments received from
the public, the EPA has determined that the MBOGC UIC program for Class
II injection wells meets the requirements of section 1425 of the SDWA
and is hereby approved. Inasmuch as the State of Montana has not
requested jurisdiction to administer the Class II UIC program on Indian
lands, EPA's delegation of primary enforcement authority for Class II
injection wells does not extend to ``Indian Country'', as defined in 18
U.S.C. part 1151, including the following reservations within the
State:
1. Blackfeet
2. Crow
3. Flathead
4. Fort Belknap
5. Fort Peck
6. Northern Cheyenne
7. Rocky Boys
In withholding program approval for Indian Country, EPA is not
making a determination that the State either has adequate jurisdiction
or lacks such jurisdiction. EPA will continue to administer the Class
II UIC program on Indian leases and in Indian Country unless and until
future approval for such administration is granted to either the State
of Montana or an Indian tribe.
This program replaces the existing EPA-administered program for all
Class II injection wells in non-Indian Country in the State of Montana.
EPA promulgated a UIC program for all wells in Montana (including those
in Indian Country) on June 24, 1984, in order to comply with the
requirements of the SDWA to promulgate a Federally-administered
program. Now that EPA has determined that the State-administered
program will meet all applicable Federal requirements, the EPA is
withdrawing the EPA-administered program for Class II injection wells
in non-Indian Country and establishing the State-administered program
as the applicable UIC program for Class II injection wells in non-
Indian Country in the State of Montana. EPA continues to administer the
UIC program for Class I, III, IV, and V wells and Class II wells for
Indian lands in the State of Montana. EPA will also have an oversight
role in the administration of the Class II program in Montana outside
of Indian Country. EPA's approval will be codified in Part 147 of 40
CFR, State Underground Injection Control Programs in Sec. 147.1350
currently reserved for the state-administered program. State statutes
and regulations that contain standards, requirements, and procedures
applicable to owners or operators are incorporated by reference into
the federal regulations. Any provisions incorporated by reference, as
well as all permit conditions or permit denials issued pursuant to such
provisions, are enforceable by EPA pursuant to section 1423 of the
SDWA. See 40 CFR 147.1(3).
The Office of Management and Budget(OMB)has determined that this
rule is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the terms of
Executive Order 12866 and is therefore not subject to OMB review. EPA
has determined that an Information Collection Request under the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., is unnecessary because
today's decision imposes no new federal reporting or record-keeping
requirements.
[[Page 58933]]
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) provides that, whenever an
agency promulgates a final rule following notice and comment on
rulemaking under 5 U.S.C. Sec. 553, an agency must prepare a final
regulatory flexibility analysis unless the head of the agency certifies
that the final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
Pursuant to section 605(b) of the RFA, the Administrator certifies
that approval of the Montana UIC program will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. EPA's
approval action does not impose any new economic impacts on affected
small entities in the State of Montana and therefore no final
regulatory flexibility analysis has been prepared. This is true for
several reasons. First, the immediate impact of the rule is on the
State of Montana itself. Second, there is no subsidiary economic impact
on small entities that flows from EPA's action in approving the Montana
program. The economic impact on small entities in Montana arises as the
direct result of Montana's earlier action in adopting its own UIC
program. The obligation of small entities to comply with the Montana
requirements antedates EPA's action and the nature of that obligation
has not been changed by today's approval action.
While one effect of today's action is to make Montana's
requirements enforceable in federal court under the Safe Drinking Water
Act, the requirements remain the same. Because facilities were already
obliged to comply with the state requirements, making the requirements
federally enforceable does not represent a new or additional economic
burden on affected entities within the meaning of the RFA.
Under section 801(a)(1)(A) of the Administrative Procedures 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.
Pursuant to Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994),
the Agency has considered environmental justice related issues with
regard to the potential impacts of this action on the environmental and
health conditions in low-income and minority communities. The Agency
has determined that since this rule merely authorizes Montana to
implement what had previously been a Federal program, there are no
environmental justice issues raised.
Pursuant to Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(Pub. L.104-4), EPA has determined that this regulatory action does not
contain any ``federal mandates,'' as described in the Act, for the
States, local or tribal governments or the private sector. The rule
merely authorizes the State of Montana to implement the Class II
Underground Injection Control Program in the State. Montana has
requested this authority from EPA.
In light of the lack of significant public comment received on the
proposal, there is good cause for making this approval effective
immediately. 5 U.S.C. (553(d)).
