ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending its
regulations to conform with the federal appeals court ruling in
Dithiocarbamate Task Force v. EPA, 98 F.3d 1394 (D.C.Cir. 1996), that
invalidated, in part, Agency regulations listing certain carbamate
wastes as hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA). These regulations pertain to hazardous waste management of
carbamate industry wastes under RCRA, related rules affecting the list
of hazardous substances under the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), and regulations issued under
state programs approved by the Administrator. Under the court's
decision, and amended in today's rule, the vacated federal hazardous
waste listings and regulatory requirements based on those listings are
to be treated as though they have never been in effect. State
regulations, which may be more stringent than federal rules, were not
necessarily affected by the court's ruling.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule takes effect on May 29, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Supporting materials are available for viewing in the RCRA
Information Center (RIC), located at Crystal Gateway I, First Floor,

I. Background
EPA lists wastes as hazardous wastes under section 3001 of RCRA, 42
U.S.C. 6921. Once a waste is listed as hazardous it becomes subject to
federal requirements for persons who generate, transport, treat, store,
or dispose of such waste. Facilities that must meet the hazardous waste
management requirements, including the need to obtain permits to
operate, are commonly referred to as ``Subtitle C'' facilities.
Subtitle C is Congress' original statutory designation for that part of
RCRA that directs EPA to issue regulations for hazardous wastes.
EPA standards and procedural regulations implementing Subtitle C
are found generally at 40 CFR parts 260 through 272. Criteria and
procedures for identifying and listing hazardous wastes are found at 40
CFR part 261.
General standards for generators of hazardous waste are found at 40
CFR part 262. General standards for transporters of hazardous waste are
found at 40 CFR part 263. General standards for owners and operators of
hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facilities--including
standards for obtaining permits--are found at 40 CFR part 264.
Hazardous wastes are also subject to land disposal restrictions
under 40 CFR part 268. EPA's authorizations for state hazardous waste
programs are found at 40 CFR part 272. The requirements for obtaining
these authorizations are found at 40 CFR part 271.
In addition, hazardous wastes having the characteristics identified
under, or listed pursuant to, RCRA section 3001 (except when suspended
by Congress) become hazardous substances under section 101(14)(C) of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9601(14)(C). A reportable quantity (RQ) of one pound
for reporting environmental releases is established for each substance,
as provided by section 102(b) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9602(b). The one-
pound statutory RQ applies until adjusted by regulations.
On February 9, 1995, the EPA published in the Federal Register (60
FR 7824) a rule listing as hazardous wastes under RCRA various wastes
from four groups of carbamate compounds--carbamates, carbamoyl oximes,
thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates. These compounds, generally, are
used as pesticides, herbicides and fungicides and in the rubber, wood
and textile industries. This rule became effective on August 9, 1995.
The rule added 58 specific carbamate compounds to the list of
hazardous constituents upon which RCRA hazardous waste listing
determinations are based. This list of constituents appears at Appendix
VIII of 40 CFR part 261.
These same 58 compounds were added to the list of commercial
chemical products that are hazardous wastes only when they are
discarded. This list is found at 40 CFR 261.33 and is divided into
acutely hazardous wastes (``P-wastes'') and other toxic wastes (``U-
wastes''). P-wastes are listed in subsection 261.33(e) and U-wastes are
listed in subsection 261.33(f). Eighteen of the carbamates were P-
wastes and 40 were U-wastes.
The rule, also, added six hazardous wastes generated from the
industrial production of the carbamate chemicals to 40 CFR 261.32.
These are hazardous wastes from specific sources, or ``K-wastes.'' The
carbamate wastes were given numbers K156, K157, K158, K159, K160, and
K161. K159 and K160 applied to certain wastes from thiocarbamate
production; K161 applied to a waste stream from dithiocarbamate
production; K156, K157 and K158
[[Page 32975]]
applied to various waste streams from the production of carbamates,
proper.
As part of the listing rule, in accordance with Agency regulations,
EPA also listed in Appendix VII of 40 CFR Part 261 the hazardous
constituents upon which the production waste listings were based.
The February 1995 rule also designated the carbamate wastes as
CERCLA hazardous substances and added them to the hazardous substance
list at 40 CFR 302.4 with statutory one-pound RQs, as required under
CERCLA sections 101(14)(C) and 102.
Subsequent to the February 1995 listing rule, EPA issued land
disposal restriction (LDR) regulations for the carbamate wastes. These
were issued on April 8, 1996 (61 FR 15663), and corrected June 28, 1996
(61 FR 33683). The prohibition on land disposal of carbamate wastes was
effective July 8, 1996 and the prohibition on radioactive waste mixed
with newly listed or identified wastes, including soil and debris, is
effective April 8, 1998. In addition, EPA amended its requirements for
approval of state hazardous waste programs by adding the carbamate
listing and LDR regulations to Tables 1 and 2 of 40 CFR part 271.1.
(See 61 FR 15659-15660, April 8, 1996.) These tables list the
regulations that establish the requirements and prohibitions applicable
to state hazardous waste programs.
On November 1, 1996, the United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit, in Dithiocarbamate Task Force v. EPA,
ruled that EPA failed to follow proper rulemaking procedures in making
some of the carbamate listing determinations and vacated them.
Accordingly, EPA is removing from the Code of Federal Regulations those
listings vacated by the court and all references to those listings. EPA
notes that substantial portions of the decisions made in the carbamate
listing rule remain in effect and are not changed by the court's
ruling.
The court vacated 24 U wastes, one K-waste (K160), and three of the
K-wastes (K156, K157 and K158) only to the extent they apply to the
chemical, 3-iodo-2-propynyl n-butylcarbamate (IPBC). Twenty-three of
the vacated U wastes consisted of all the dithiocarbamates and
thiocarbamates. The other vacated U waste was IPBC, a carbamate.
II. Amended Regulations
Table 1 lists the 24 vacated U wastes that are removed from 40 CFR
261.33(f).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 40 CFR 261.31, the following K-waste listing is deleted:
K160: Solids (including filter wastes, separation solids, and
spent catalysts) from the production of thiocarbamates and solids
from the treatment of thiocarbamate wastes.
In addition, the hazardous waste listings for K156, K157, and K158
are amended. Originally, they read as follows:
K156: Organic waste (including heavy ends, still bottoms, light
ends, spent solvents, filtrates, and decantates) from the production
of carbamates and carbamoyl oximes.
K157: Wastewaters (including scrubber waters, condenser waters,
washwaters, and separation waters) from the production of carbamates
and carbamoyl oximes.
K158: Bag house dusts and filter/separation solids from the
production of carbamates and carbamoyl oximes.
EPA is modifying each of these three listing descriptions to include
the following limitation: (This listing does not apply to wastes
generated from the manufacture of 3-iodo-2-propynyl n-butylcarbamate.)
EPA is not deleting any constituents in the Appendix VIII hazardous
constituent list of 40 CFR part 261, since the Dithiocarbamate Task
Force ruling did not affect those listings. The Agency is, however,
deleting any mention of the associated vacated hazardous waste codes in
Appendix VIII. While the regulations for waste management at 40 CFR
parts 262 through 264 are not affected by the court's ruling, it is
clear
[[Page 32976]]
that they are not applicable to any of the vacated hazardous waste
listings (unless those wastes exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic
described under 40 CFR 261.20 to 261.24). However, to the extent that
the wastes described in the vacated listings were included in federal
permits before the ruling, appropriate action may need to be taken by
permittees and permitting authorities to amend the permits. Any need to
revise state permits will depend on state law. Since state law may be
more stringent than federal law (see RCRA section 3009) there may be
circumstances in which carbamate listings would be required to remain
in the permits.
The land disposal restriction (LDR) regulations for hazardous
wastes are amended to remove the U and K wastes vacated by the court.
Specifically the Agency is amending 40 CFR 268.39 to remove LDRs for
K160, U277, U365, U366, U375, U376, U377, U378, U379, U381, U382, U383,
U384, U385, U386, U390, U391, U392, U393, U396, U400, U401, U402, U403,
and U407.
In addition, the description of the K156, K157 and K158 wastes in
40 CFR 268.40 are amended to reflect the fact that they do not apply to
wastes from production of IPBC.
In a recent action to correct tables applicable to the LDR
regulations (62 FR 7501, February 19, 1997), the Agency removed the
vacated carbamate hazardous waste codes from the list of treatment
standards contained in section 268.40 and removed Cycloate and IPBC
from the Universal Treatment Standards (UTS) table in 40 CFR 268.48.
The hazardous waste listings based on these two constituents were
vacated by the Dithiocarbamate Task Force ruling and these constituents
have not been cited as the basis for listing any other hazardous waste
in Appendix VII of part 261. EPA notes these constituents are still
listed in Appendix VIII of 40 CFR part 261 as hazardous constituents
upon which EPA may base listings.
All other constituents on the Universal Treatment Standards table
are being retained. This is because they remain the basis for listed
hazardous wastes that have not been affected by the Dithiocarbamate
Task Force ruling. Accordingly, the UTS standards for the following
constituents which are part of the basis for K159 are retained:
Butylate, EPTC, Molinate, Pebulate, and Vernolate. Also retained is
Dithiocarbamates (total). The determination of total dithiocarbamates
is part of the basis for listing of K161, which was not invalidated by
the court ruling.
Today's final rule also removes the vacated U and K wastes from
CERCLA designation as hazardous substances. Accordingly, all these
wastes are removed from the list of CERCLA hazardous substances at 40
CFR 302.4.
III. State Authority
The tables in 40 CFR 271.1 are amended to reflect the issuance of
this notice so that States will understand they are not required by the
federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act to adopt the hazardous
waste listings vacated by the Dithiocarbamate Task Force ruling. Since
today's rule does not establish any new regulation, no additional
requirements or obligations are imposed on the States by its
promulgation. RCRA section 3009 provides that States may not issue
regulations less stringent than those authorized under Subtitle C of
RCRA. However, section 3009 of RCRA also provides that States may
impose more stringent requirements than those regulations promulgated
by EPA under Subtitle C. Thus, regulations vacated by the
Dithiocarbamate Task Force ruling may be permissible under state law.
IV. Good Cause Exemption From Notice-and-Comment Rulemaking
Procedures
The Administrative Procedure Act generally requires agencies to
provide prior notice and opportunity for public comment before issuing
a final rule. 5 U.S.C. 553(b). Rules are exempt from this requirement
if the issuing agency finds for good cause that notice and comment are
unnecessary. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
EPA has determined that providing prior notice and opportunity for
comment on the amending of these carbamate regulations is unnecessary.
These regulations are no longer legally in effect by order of the
federal appeals court. Thus, amending them has no legal impact and only
states the current legal status of the rules.
For the same reasons, EPA believes there is good cause for making
the amending of these regulations immediately effective. See 5 U.S.C.
553(d).
V. Analyses Under E.O. 12866, Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995,
Regulatory Flexibility Act, Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 and Paperwork Reduction Act
The amending of the carbamate regulations only reflects their
current legal status and has no regulatory impact, therefore, this
action is not a ``significant'' regulatory action by E.O. 12866. This
action is not a significant regulatory action and is therefore not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. In addition,
this action does not impose annual costs of $100 million or more, will
not significantly or uniquely affect small governments, and is not a
significant federal intergovernmental mandate. The Agency thus has no
obligations under sections 202, 203, 204 and 205 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act. Moreover, since this action is not subject to
notice-and-comment requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act
or any other statute, it is not subject to sections 603 or 604 of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A), 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.
804(2).
Lastly, the removal of these regulations from the Code of Federal
Regulations does not affect requirements under the Paperwork Reduction
Act since they are no longer legally in effect.
