Delaware: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Immediate final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The State of Delaware 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 Delaware's application and has determined 
that Delaware's hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of the 
requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. Unless 
adverse written comments are received on this action during the review 
and comment period provided in a companion document in the ``Proposed 
Rules'' section of today's Federal Register, EPA's decision to approve 
Delaware's hazardous waste program revision will take effect as 
provided below. Delaware's application for program revision is 
available for public review and comment.

DATES: Final authorization for the State of Delaware shall be effective 
October 19, 1998 unless EPA publishes a prior Federal Register action 
withdrawing this immediate final rule. Any comments on Delaware's 
program revision application must be filed as provided in the companion 
document on this action, appearing in the Proposed Rules section of 
today's Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Copies of Delaware's program revision application are 
available from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the 
following addresses for inspection and copying: Delaware Department of 
Natural Resources and Environmental Control, 89 Kings Highway, P.O. Box

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 
(Public Law 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.
    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 
through 266, 268, 270, 273 and 279.

B. Delaware

    Delaware received final authorization effective June 22, 1984 (see 
53 FR 23837, June 8, 1984) to implement its hazardous waste management 
program in lieu of the Federal program. On January 31, 1986 (see 51 FR 
3954), the authorized Delaware program was incorporated by reference 
into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). On April 9, 1996, Delaware 
submitted a program revision application for additional approval in 
accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 271.21(b)(3) (Procedures for 
Revisions of State Programs). Delaware received final authorization on 
this program revision application on October 7, 1996 (see 61 FR 41345). 
On June 15, 1998, Delaware submitted a second program revision 
application for additional approval in accordance with the requirements 
of 40 CFR 271.21(b)(3) (Procedures for Revisions of State Programs).
    EPA has reviewed Delaware's application, and has made an immediate 
final decision, subject to review and comment, that Delaware's 
hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of the requirements 
necessary to qualify for final authorization. Consequently, EPA intends 
to grant final authorization

[[Page 44153]]

for the additional program modifications to Delaware. As provided in 
the Proposed Rules section of today's Federal Register, the public may 
submit written comments on EPA's proposed final decision until 
September 17, 1998. Copies of Delaware's application for program 
revision are available for inspection and copying at the locations 
indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
    Approval of Delaware's program revision shall become effective in 
60 days from the date this document 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 
comment is received EPA will publish either (1) a withdrawal of the 
immediate final decision or (2) a document containing a response to 
comments which either affirms that the immediate final decision takes 
effect or reverses the decision.
    Delaware's program revision application includes State regulatory 
changes that are at least equivalent to the rules promulgated in the 
Federal RCRA implementing regulations in 40 CFR parts 124, 260 through 
266, and 270 that were published in the Federal Register through 
January 31, 1995. In addition, the State is seeking authorization for a 
delisting program. The State was not authorized for this optional 
program at the time of its Base Program authorization. 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. Unless otherwise 
indicated, the listed Delaware regulatory references are to the 
Delaware Regulations Governing Hazardous Waste 1996. The statutory 
references are to 7 Delaware Code Annotated 1991. In addition to the 
provisions listed in the table, Delaware has adopted provisions 
analogous to 40 CFR 268.5, 268.6, 268.42(b) and 268.44(a)-(g) and has 
correctly left the implementation authority with EPA for these non-
delegable provisions. In addition, Delaware has an analog to 40 CFR 
268.44(h)-(m), but has left the authority with EPA for granting 
variances from a treatment standard.

    Some portions of Delaware's program are broader in scope than the 
federal program, and thus are not federally enforceable. The broader in 
scope provisions address transporter requirements at DRGHW sections 
263.100-263.106. In addition, sections 261.6(a)(2) and 261.6(a)(3) are 
broader in scope to the extent that they relate to transporter permits. 
Also broader in scope are the Delaware provisions at DRGHW section 6.00 
which relate to fees.
    In addition, Delaware will be authorized to carry out, in lieu of 
the Federal program, the following State-initiated changes to 
provisions of the State's program, which are equivalent and analogous 
to the indicated Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 
provisions found at Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations.

    In addition to the above listed State-initiated changes, EPA is 
authorizing changes to the following State provisions. These provisions 
do not have a direct analog in the Federal RCRA regulations. However, 
none of these provisions is considered broader in scope than the 
Federal program. This is so because these provisions were either 
previously authorized as part of Delaware's base authorization or have 
been added to make the State's regulations internally consistent with 
changes made for the other authorizations listed in the first paragraph 
of this section. EPA has reviewed these provisions and has determined 
that they are consistent with and no less stringent than the Federal 
requirements. Additionally, this authorization does not affect the 
status of State permits and those permits issued by EPA because no new 
substantive requirements are a part of these revisions.

    EPA shall administer any RCRA hazardous waste permits, or portions 
of permits, that contain conditions based upon Federal program 
provisions for which the State is applying for authorization and which 
are 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.
    Delaware is not seeking authority over Indian Lands since there are 
no Federally recognized Indian Lands in the State at this time.

C. Decision

    I conclude that the State of Delaware's application for program 
revision meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements 
established by RCRA. Accordingly, Delaware is granted final 
authorization to operate its hazardous waste program as revised, 
assuming no adverse written comments are received as discussed above.
    Upon effective final approval, Delaware will be responsible 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. Delaware 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 part 272 for codification of the decision to authorize 
Delaware's program and for incorporation by reference of those 
provisions of Delaware'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 I until 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.

Compliance With Executive Order 13045

    Executive Order 13045 applies to any rule that the Office of 
Management and Budget determines is ``economically significant'' as 
defined under Executive Order 12866, and that EPA determines that the 
environmental health or safety risk addressed by the rule has a 
disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action meets 
both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health or 
safety effects of the planned rule on children and explain why the 
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective

[[Page 44160]]

and reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
    The Agency has determined that the final rule is not a covered 
regulatory action as defined in the Executive Order because it is not 
economically significant and does not address environmental health and 
safety risks. As such, the final rule is not subject to the 
requirements of Executive Order 13045.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Pub. 
L. 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the 
effects of certain regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal 
governments and the private sector. Under sections 202 and 205 of the 
UMRA, EPA generally must prepare a written statement of economic and 
regulatory alternatives analyses for proposed and final rules with 
Federal mandates, as defined by the UMRA, 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. The 
section 202 and 205 requirements do not apply to today's action because 
it is not a ``Federal mandate'' and because it does not impose annual 
costs of $100 million or more.
    Today's rule contains no Federal mandates for State, local or 
tribal governments or the private sector for two reasons. First, 
today's action does not impose new or additional enforceable duties on 
any State, local or tribal governments or the private sector because 
the requirements of the Delaware program are already imposed by the 
State and subject to State law. Second, the Act also generally excludes 
from the definition of a ``Federal mandate'' duties that arise from 
participation in a voluntary Federal program. Delaware's participation 
in an authorized hazardous waste program is voluntary.
    Even if today's rule did contain a Federal mandate, this rule will 
not result in annual expenditures of $100 million or more for State, 
local, and/or tribal governments in the aggregate, or the private 
sector. Costs to State, local and/or tribal governments already exist 
under the Delaware program, and today's action does not impose any 
additional obligations on regulated entities. In fact, EPA's approval 
of state programs generally may reduce, not increase, compliance costs 
for the private sector.
    The requirements of section 203 of UMRA also do not apply to 
today's action. Before EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that 
may significantly or uniquely affect small governments, section 203 of 
the UMRA requires EPA to develop a small government agency plan. This 
rule contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or 
uniquely affect small governments. The Agency recognizes that although 
small governments may be hazardous waste generators, transporters, or 
own and/or operate TSDFs, they are already subject to the regulatory 
requirements under existing state law which are being authorized by 
EPA, and, thus, are not subject to any additional significant or unique 
requirements by virtue of this program approval.

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. 
Such small entities which are hazardous waste generators, transporters, 
or which own and/or operate TSDFs are already subject to the regulatory 
requirements under existing State law which are being authorized by 
EPA. EPA's authorization does not impose any additional burdens on 
these small entities. This is because EPA's authorization would simply 
result in an administrative change, rather than a change in the 
substantive requirements imposed on these small entities.
    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 approves regulatory requirements under existing State law 
to which small entities are already subject. 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 Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq, as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, 
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the 
United States. 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 United States 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).

National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Pub L. No. 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 
272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its 
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with 
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards 
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, 
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or 
adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA 
to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides 
not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
    This action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA 
did not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards.

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.
