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.,
Chicago, IL 60604, Phone (312) 886-2022. Copies of the Wisconsin
program revision application and the materials which EPA used in
evaluating the revision are available for inspection and copying from 9
a.m. to 4 p.m. at the following addresses: Mr. Tom Eggert, Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources, 101 South Webster Street, Madison, WI
53707-7921 and EPA Region 5, Office of RCRA, 77 West Jackson Blvd.,
Seventh Floor, Chicago, IL 60604.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Daniel F. Chachakis, Environmental
Protection Specialist, Wisconsin Regulatory Specialist, U.S. EPA Region
5 Waste, Pesticides and Toxics Division, Program Management Branch (DM-
7J), 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604; (312) 886-2022.
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.
