Wisconsin: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Immediate final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Wisconsin has applied for final authorization of the revision 
to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA). The scope of this revision package includes 
partial completion of SPA's 8, 9, 13, 14 and 15, with the following 
clusters: RCRA Cluster I, including HSWA and non-HSWA Rules; RCRA 
Cluster II, including HSWA and non-HSWA provisions; RCRA Cluster III, 
including HSWA and non-HSWA provisions; RCRA Cluster IV, including HSWA 
and non-HSWA provisions; HSWA Cluster I; HSWA Cluster II; non-HSWA 
Cluster III; non-HSWA Cluster V; and non-HSWA Cluster VI. The major 
rules in the application include Land Disposal Restrictions, Recycled 
Used Oil Management, Wood Preserving Listings, and Organic Air Emission 
Standards for Process Vents and Equipment Leaks. The EPA has reviewed 
Wisconsin's application and determined that its hazardous waste program 
revision satisfies all of the requirements necessary to qualify for 
final authorization. Unless adverse written comments are received 
during the review and comment period, EPA's decision to authorize 
Wisconsin's hazardous waste program revision will take effect as 
provided below.

DATES: This rule will become effective on October 4, 1999, without 
further notice, unless EPA receives relevant adverse comments by 
September 7, 1999. Should EPA receive such comments EPA will publish a 
timely document withdrawing this rule.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments referring to Docket Number ARA 6, to 
Mr. Daniel F. Chachakis, U.S. EPA Region 5, Waste Pesticides and Toxics 
Division, Program Management Branch (DM-7J), 77 W. Jackson Blvd.,

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 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
parts 124, 260 through 266, 268, 270, 273 and 279.

B. Wisconsin

    Wisconsin initially received Final Authorization on January 30, 
1986, effective January 31, 1986 (51 FR 3783) to implement its base 
hazardous waste management program. Wisconsin received authorization 
for revisions to its program on May 23, 1989, effective June 6, 1989 
(54 FR 22278), on November 22, 1989, effective January 22, 1990 (54 FR 
48243), on April 24, 1992 effective April 24, 1992 (57 FR 15029), on 
June 2, 1993 effective August 2, 1993 (58 FR 31344) and on August 5, 
1994, effective October 4, 1994 (59 FR 39971).
    The authorized Wisconsin RCRA program was incorporated by reference 
into the CFR effective April 24, 1989 (54 FR 7422), May 29, 1990 (55 FR 
11910), and November 22, 1993 (58 FR 49199).
    On May 7, 1999, Wisconsin submitted a final complete program 
revision application, seeking authorization of its program revision in 
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. The EPA reviewed Wisconsin's 
application, and now makes an immediate final decision, subject to 
receipt of adverse written comment, that Wisconsin's hazardous waste 
program revision satisfies all of the requirements necessary to qualify 
for Final Authorization. Consequently, EPA intends to grant Wisconsin 
Final Authorization for the program modifications contained in the 
revision.
    The public may submit written comments on EPA's immediate final 
decision until September 7, 1999. Copies of Wisconsin's application for 
program revision are available for inspection and copying at the 
locations indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
    If EPA does not receive adverse written comment pertaining to

[[Page 42603]]

Wisconsin's program revision by the end of the comment period, the 
authorization of Wisconsin's revision will become effective October 4, 
1999. If the Agency does receive adverse written comment, it will 
publish a document withdrawing this immediate final rule before its 
effective date. EPA will then address the comments in a later final 
rule based on the companion document appearing in the Proposed Rules 
section of today's Federal Register. EPA may not provide additional 
opportunity for comment. Any parties interested in commenting should do 
so at this time.
    On October 4, 1999, (unless EPA publishes a prior FR action 
withdrawing this immediate final rule), Wisconsin 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\ The Wisconsin provisions are from the Wisconsin Statutes and Annotations 1995-96, and the Wisconsin
  Administrative Code, Register, May, 1995, No. 473.

    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 has previously suspended issuance of permits for the other 
provisions on January 31, 1986, June 6, 1986, January 22, 1990, April 
24, 1992, August 2, 1993, and October 4, 1994, the effective dates of 
Wisconsin's final authorization for the RCRA program revisions.
    Wisconsin is not authorized to operate the Federal program in 
Indian country. This authority remains with EPA unless provided 
otherwise in a future statute or regulation.

C. Decision

    I conclude that Wisconsin's application for program revision 
authorization meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements 
established by RCRA. Accordingly, EPA grants Wisconsin Final 
Authorization to operate its hazardous waste program as revised. 
Wisconsin now has responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, and 
disposal facilities 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 the HSWA. 
Wisconsin 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

    The EPA uses 40 CFR part 272 for codification of the decision to 
authorize Wisconsin'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 YY 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 and 205 of the 
UMRA, EPA generally must prepare a written statement of economic and 
regulatory alternatives analyses for

[[Page 42609]]

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.
    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 the Wisconsin 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. Before EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that 
may significantly or uniquely affect small governments, including 
tribal 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. 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.
    The 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 the existing State laws that are now being 
authorized by EPA. The 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 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. The 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 today's Federal Register. 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. If the mandate is unfunded, EPA must 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. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1(a) 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 E.O. 13045 because it is not an 
economically significant rule as defined by E.O. 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 provides to the Office 
of Management and Budget a description of the prior consultation and 
communications the agency has had

[[Page 42610]]

with representatives of tribal governments 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 E.O. 13084 because it does not 
significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Indian tribal 
governments. Wisconsin 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 the 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''), Pub. L. 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.
