Wyoming: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Immediate final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Wyoming has applied for Final authorization of the first 
revision (Amendment A) to its hazardous waste program under the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has reviewed the 
Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality's application and 
determined that its hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of 
the requirements necessary to qualify for Final authorization. EPA is 
authorizing the State program revision through this immediate final 
action. EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and does not anticipate 
adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve 
as a proposal to authorize the revision should the Agency receive 
adverse comment. Unless EPA receives adverse written comments during 
the review and comment period, the decision to authorize Wyoming's 
hazardous waste program revision will take effect as provided below.

DATES: This Final authorization for Wyoming will become effective 
without further notice on April 26, 1999, unless EPA receives adverse 
comment by March 29, 1999. Should EPA receive such comments, EPA will 
publish a timely withdrawal informing the public that the rule will not 
take effect.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Kris Shurr, 8P-HW, U.S. EPA, Region 
VIII, 999 18th St, Ste 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2466, phone number:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    States with Final authorization under Section 3006(b) of the RCRA, 
42 U.S.C. 6926(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. As the Federal 
hazardous waste program changes, the States must revise their programs 
and apply for authorization of the revisions. Revisions to State 
hazardous waste programs may be necessary when Federal or State 
statutory or regulatory authority is modified or when certain other 
changes occur. Most commonly, States must revise their programs because 
of changes to EPA's regulations in Title 40 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) Parts 124, 260 through 266, 268, 270, 273 and 279.

B. Wyoming

    Wyoming initially received Final Authorization on October 4, 1995, 
effective October 18, 1995, to implement its base hazardous waste 
management program (60 FR 51925).
    On December 4, 1997, Wyoming submitted a final complete program 
revision application, seeking authorization of its first program 
modification (Amendment A) in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. EPA 
reviewed Wyoming's application and now makes an immediate final 
decision, subject to receipt of adverse written comment, that Wyoming's 
hazardous waste program modification, adopted June 17, 1996, satisfies 
all of the requirements necessary to qualify for Final Authorization. 
Consequently, EPA intends to grant Wyoming Final Authorization for the 
program modification contained in the revision application designated 
as Amendment A.
    Today Wyoming is seeking authority to administer the following 
Federal requirements promulgated between July 1, 1994 and June 30, 
1995:

\1\ Wyoming Hazardous Waste Management Rules and Regulations adopted 06/
  17/96.

    Wyoming's rules, promulgated pursuant to this application, contain 
several errors which may create confusion within the regulated 
community. EPA has determined that the errors associated with the 
issues do not pose implementation or enforcement problems because any 
facial ambiguity created by the errors are ultimately resolved within 
other portions of the regulations. Therefore, EPA will proceed to 
approve this application with the understanding that the State will 
correct these items during its next rulemaking. These errors are at the 
following citations within the Wyoming Hazardous Waste Management Rules 
and Regulations adopted June 17, 1996 : Chapter 3, Section 1(s)(i); 
Chapter 3, Section 1(s)(iv)(B); Chapter 3, Section 1(t)(ii)(A); Chapter 
8, Section 1(b)(i)(D); Chapter 14, Section 1(f)(i)(A); Chapter 14, 
Section 2(d)(ii)(B); and Chapter 14, Section 7(b)(i). In addition, the 
requirements at Chapter 3, Section 2(a)(vii)(A)(I) are considered more 
stringent as the State requires additional filings by owners and 
operators of Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs). 
Facilities that have filed Part A of a permit application and who have 
not yet filed Part B, must file an amended Part A application with the 
State Director, in addition to the Regional Administrator (the Federal 
requirement), within six months of the promulgation of a Federal rule 
issued under the authority of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments 
of 1984 (Public Law 98-616, November 8, 1984, hereinafter ``HSWA'').
    EPA shall administer any RCRA hazardous waste permits, or portions 
of permits, that contain conditions based on 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 
other provisions on October 18, 1995, the effective date of Wyoming's 
Final Authorization for the RCRA base program.

Indian Reservations

    This program revision does not extend to ``Indian Country'' as 
defined in 18 U.S.C. Section 1151, including lands within the exterior 
boundaries of the following Indian reservation located within the State 
of Wyoming: Wind River Indian Reservation.
    In excluding Indian Country from the scope of this program 
revision, EPA is not making a determination that the State either has 
adequate jurisdiction or lacks jurisdiction over sources in Indian 
Country. Should the State of Wyoming choose to seek program 
authorization within Indian Country, it may do so without prejudice. 
Before EPA would approve the State's program for any portion of Indian 
Country, EPA would have to be satisfied that the State has authority, 
either pursuant to explicit Congressional authorization or applicable 
principles of Federal Indian law, to enforce its laws against existing 
and potential pollution sources within any geographical area for which 
it seeks program approval and that such approval would constitute sound 
administrative practice.
    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because we view 
this as a noncontroversial program revision and do not anticipate 
adverse comment. However in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's 
FR, we are publishing a separate document that will serve as the 
proposal to authorize the revision if we receive adverse comments. This 
authorization will become effective without further notice on April 26, 
1999, unless EPA receives adverse comment by March 29, 1999. Should EPA 
receive such comments it will publish a timely withdrawal informing the 
public that the rule will not take

[[Page 9280]]

effect. We will address all public comments in a subsequent final 
action based on the proposed rule. EPA may not provide additional 
opportunity for comment. Any parties interested in commenting must do 
so at this time.
    The public may submit written comments on EPA's immediate final 
decision until March 29, 1999. Copies of Wyoming's application for 
program revision are available for inspection and copying at the 
locations indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this document. The 
ADDRESSES section also indicates where to send written comments on this 
action.

C. Decision

    I conclude that Wyoming's application for program revision 
authorization meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements 
established by RCRA. Accordingly, EPA grants Wyoming Final 
Authorization to operate its Hazardous Waste Program as revised. 
Wyoming now has responsibility for permitting TSDFs within its borders 
(except in Indian Country) and for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA 
program described in its revised program application, subject to the 
limitations of HSWA. Wyoming also has primary enforcement 
responsibilities, although EPA retains the authority to conduct 
inspections under section 3007 of RCRA, and to take enforcement 
actions, including, but not limited to, actions that may be in addition 
to State actions, under sections 3008, 3013 and 7003 of RCRA.

D. Codification in Part 272

    EPA uses 40 CFR part 272 for codification of the decision to 
authorize Wyoming's program and for incorporation by reference of those 
provisions of its statutes and regulations that EPA will enforce under 
sections 3008, 3013 and 7003 of RCRA. EPA reserves amendment of 40 CFR 
part 272, Subpart ZZ, until a later date.

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 certain regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal 
governments and the private sector. Under sections 202 of UMRA, EPA 
generally must prepare a written statement, including 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. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement 
is needed, section 205 of 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 UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must 
provide for notifying potentially affected small governments, enabling 
officials of affected small governments to have meaningful and timely 
input in the development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant 
Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and 
advising small governments on compliance with the regulatory 
requirements.
    EPA has determined that section 202 and 205 requirements do not 
apply to today's action because this rule does not contain a Federal 
mandate that may 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 Wyoming's 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. Further, as it applies to the 
State, this action does not impose a Federal intergovernmental mandate 
because UMRA does not include duties arising from participation in a 
voluntary Federal program.
    The requirements of section 203 of UMRA also do not apply to 
today's action because this rule contains no regulatory requirements 
that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Although 
small governments may be hazardous waste generators, transporters, or 
own and/or operate TSDFs, they are already subject to the regulatory 
requirements under the existing State laws that 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

    Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), 
as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 
1996, whenever an agency is required to publish a notice of rulemaking 
for any proposed or final rule, it must prepare and make available for 
public comment a regulatory flexibility analysis that describes the 
effect of the rule on small entities (i.e., small businesses, small 
organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions). This analysis is 
unnecessary, however, if the agency's administrator certifies that the 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities.
    EPA has determined that this authorization will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
Small entities such as hazardous waste generators, transporters, or 
entities which own and/or operate TSDFs are already subject to the 
regulatory requirements under the existing State laws that are now 
being authorized by EPA. EPA's authorization does not impose any 
significant 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.
    Pursuant to the provision at 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the Agency hereby 
certifies 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 amended 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 will submit 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

[[Page 9281]]

today's FR. This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).

Compliance with Executive Order 12866

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

Compliance with Executive Order 12875

    Under Executive Order 12875, EPA may not issue a regulation that is 
not required by statute and that creates a mandate upon a State, local, 
or tribal government, unless the Federal government provides the funds 
necessary to pay the direct compliance costs incurred by those 
governments, or EPA consults with those governments. If EPA complies 
with consulting, Executive Order 12875 requires EPA to provide to the 
Office of Management and Budget a description of the extent of EPA's 
prior consultation with representatives of affected State, local, and 
tribal governments, the nature of their concerns, copies of any written 
communications from the governments, and a statement supporting the 
need to issue the regulation. In addition, Executive Order 12875 
requires EPA to develop an effective process permitting elected 
officials and other representatives of State, local, and tribal 
governments ``to provide meaningful and timely input in the development 
of regulatory proposals containing significant unfunded mandates.''
    This rule does not create a mandate on State, local, or tribal 
governments. The rule does not impose any enforceable duties on these 
entities. The State administers its hazardous waste program voluntarily 
and any duties on other State, local, or tribal governmental entities 
arise from that program, not from this action. Accordingly, the 
requirements of Executive Order 12875 do not apply to this rule.

Compliance with Executive Order 13045

    Executive Order 13045, ``Protection of Children from Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks,'' applies to any rule that: (1) the 
Office of Management and Budget determines is ``economically 
significant'' as defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns 
an environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe 
may have 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 
and reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is not 
an economically significant rule as defined by Executive Order 12866 
and because it does not involve decisions based on environmental health 
or safety risks.

Compliance with Executive Order 13084

    Under Executive Order 13084, EPA may not issue a regulation that is 
not required by statute, that significantly or uniquely affects the 
communities of Indian tribal governments, and that imposes substantial 
direct compliance costs on those communities, unless the Federal 
government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance 
costs incurred by the tribal governments, or EPA consults with those 
governments. If EPA complies with consulting, Executive Order 13084 
requires EPA to provide to the Office of Management and Budget, in a 
separately identified section of the preamble to the rule, a 
description of the extent of EPA's prior consultation with 
representatives of affected tribal governments, a summary of the nature 
of their concerns, and a statement supporting the need to issue the 
regulation. In addition, Executive Order 13084 requires EPA to develop 
an effective process permitting elected and other representatives of 
Indian tribal governments to provide meaningful and timely input in the 
development of regulatory policies on matters that significantly or 
uniquely affect their communities.
    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13084 because it does 
not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Indian tribal 
governments. Wyoming is not authorized to implement the RCRA hazardous 
waste program in Indian Country. This action has no effect on the 
hazardous waste program that EPA implements in Indian Country within 
the State.

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.

National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 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.
