[IN 109-1a; FRL-6507-5]


Approval of Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerator State 
Plan For Designated Facilities and Pollutants: Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving Indiana's State Plan for Hospital/Medical/
Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI), submitted on September 30, 1999. 
The State Plan adopts and implements the Emissions Guidelines (EG) 
applicable to existing HMIWIs. This approval means that EPA finds the 
State Plan meets Clean Air Act (Act) requirements. Once effective, this 
approval makes the State Plan federally enforceable.

DATES: This rule is effective on February 15, 2000, unless EPA receives 
adverse written comments by January 18, 2000. If adverse written 
comment is received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the rule 
in the Federal Register and inform the public that the rule will not 
take effect.

I. What is EPA approving in this action?

    We are approving the September 30, 1999, Indiana State Plan 
submission which implements the requirements of sections 111(d) and 129 
of the Act for existing HMIWIs. This approval, once effective, will 
make the Indiana HMIWI rules included in the plan federally 
enforceable.

II. The HMIWI State Plan Requirement.

What Is an HMIWI State Plan?

    An HMIWI State Plan is a plan to control air pollutant emissions 
from existing incinerators which burn hospital waste or medical/
infectious waste. The plan also includes source and emission 
inventories of these incinerators in the State.

Why Are We Requiring Indiana to Submit an HMIWI State Plan?

    Sections 111(d) and 129 of the Act require States to submit State 
Plans to control emissions from existing HMIWIs in the State. The State 
Plan requirement was triggered when we published the Emissions 
Guidelines (EG) for HMIWIs on September 15, 1997 (see 62 FR 48348). The 
EG is codified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce.
    Section 129, we are requires us to promulgate EGs for several types 
of existing solid waste incinerators. These EGs establish the Maximum 
Achievable Control Technology (MACT) standards that States must adopt 
to comply with the Act. The HMIWI EG also establishes requirements for 
monitoring, operator training, permits, and a waste management plan 
that must be included in State Plans.
    The intent of the State Plan requirement is to reduce several types 
of air pollutants associated with waste incineration.

Why Do We Need to Regulate HMIWI Emissions?

    The State Plan establishes control requirements which reduce the 
following emissions from HMIWIs: particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, 
hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, lead, cadmium, 
mercury, dioxin, and dibenzofurans.
    These pollutants can cause adverse effects to the public health and 
the environment. Dioxin, lead, and mercury bioaccumulate through the 
food web. Serious developmental and adult effects in humans, primarily 
damage to the nervous system, have been associated with exposures to 
mercury. Exposure to dioxin and furans can cause skin disorders, 
cancer, and reproductive effects such as endometriosis. Dioxin and 
furans can also affect the immune system. Acid gases affect the 
respiratory tract, as well as contribute to the acid rain that damages 
lakes and harms forests and buildings. Exposure to particulate matter 
has been linked with adverse health effects, including aggravation of 
existing respiratory and cardiovascular disease and increased risk of 
premature death. Nitrogen oxide emissions contribute to the formation 
of ground level ozone, which is associated with a number of adverse 
health and environmental effects.

What Criteria Must an HMIWI State Plan Meet To be Approved?

    The following Table summarizes the criteria for approving an HMIWI 
State Plan:

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

    We issued a guidance document describing in more detail the 
requirements for an approvable HMIWI State Plan, entitled ``Hospital/
Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerator Emission Guidelines: Summary of 
the Requirements for Section 111(d)/129 State Plans,'' published 
November 1997. Indiana used this document to develop its State Plan.

III. The Indiana HMIWI State Plan

Where Are the Indiana HMIWI Requirements Codified?

    Indiana's State Plan requirements for HMIWIs are codified at 326 
Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) 11-6. Indiana adopted the rule on 
September 2, 1998. Indiana published the rule in the Indiana Register 
on March 1, 1999, and it became effective on March 11, 1999.

Who Is Affected By the State Plan?

    Consistent with the EG, Indiana's HMIWI rules cover existing 
HMIWIs, with the exception of certain exempt HMIWIs, which only need to 
meet certain recordkeeping and certification requirements. The table 
below summarizes the Indiana HMIWI applicability criteria and 
associated requirements:

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

                                             operation to co-fired
                                             combustor status; and,
                                            Must keep records on weight
                                             of wastes and fuels burned
                                             on a calendar quarter

                                             the EG.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For an HMIWI to be considered a ``co-fired combustor,'' it must be 
subject to an enforceable condition limiting combustion of hospital or 
medical infectious waste to 10% or less of total waste burned, by 
weight, on a calendar quarter basis. For purposes of the co-fired 
combustor exemption, pathological waste, chemotherapeutic waste, and 
low-level radioactive wastes are considered ``other'' wastes when 
calculating the percentage of hospital waste and medical/infectious 
waste combusted.
    HMIWIs which combust pathological wastes, low-level radioactive 
waste, or

[[Page 70597]]

chemotherapeutic wastes part of the time can be exempt from control 
requirements during those periods if they notify Indiana pursuant to 
this operating scenario.

Who is exempt from the State Plan?

    Incinerators that would otherwise meet the HMIWI definition are 
completely exempt from the rule if they meet any of the following 
criteria:
    You are exempt if:
    You are a combustor required to have a permit under Section 3005 of 
the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 42 U.S.C. 6925;
    You are a municipal waste combustor subject to 40 CFR part 60, 
subparts Cb, Ea or Eb;
    You are a pyrolysis unit (i.e., a unit that uses endothermic 
gasification to treat hospital waste or medical/infectious waste in 
order to render such waste harmless);
    You are a cement kiln firing hospital waste or medical/infectious 
waste; or,
    You are an HMIWI subject to the New Source Performance Standards 
(NSPS) for HMIWIs, 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ec.

What does the State Plan require?

    If you are an HMIWI subject to control requirements under the 
Indiana HMIWI rule, you must comply with the requirements summarized 
below:

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

    If you would like to know the emission limit applicable to small, 
medium and large HMIWIs, please reference 326 IAC 11-6-4.
    The Indiana rule also prescribes various criteria and 
considerations in developing the plan, and specifies the components 
which the plan must include.

When must the State Plan requirements be met if you plan to continue 
operation of your HMIWI?

    Under the Indiana HMIWI rule, a subject HMIWI must be in compliance 
with the rule requirements by March 11, 2000, unless the source meets 
the requirements for an extended compliance schedule. HMIWIs who plan 
to install air pollution control equipment and who comply with the 
requirements to obtain an extended schedule must comply by March 31, 
2002.
    However, even if a source has an extended schedule, the Indiana 
rule requires compliance with the rule's operator training and 
certification provisions by March 11, 2000.

What must you do to obtain an extended compliance schedule if you plan 
to install control equipment or make process changes and continue 
operation?

    HMIWIs seeking an extended compliance schedule must have submitted 
a control plan on or before June 30, 1999, which contained a plan for 
the HMIWI to meet the rule's increments of progress. Indiana's rule 
requires compliance with the following measurable and enforceable 
increments of progress:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Increments of progress                      Due date

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

What must you do if you intend to permanently shut down?

    For all HMIWIs that intend to permanently shut down, the source 
must shut down by March 11, 2000, unless the source is installing 
alternative control technology and the State approves its petition for 
an extension. If a source petitions the State for an extension, the 
source must submit its petition by November 11, 1999. The petition must 
include an analysis that:
    (1) Demonstrates that additional time is needed,
    (2) considers the option of transporting the waste off-site, and
    (3) includes a detailed compliance plan with measurable and 
enforceable increments of progress that assure final compliance by 
March 31, 2002.

What are the permit application deadlines?

    The Indiana HMIWI rule requires all HMIWIs subject to the rule's 
emission limits to submit a part 70 permit application by March 11, 
2000. Each source's application needs to address the provisions of 326 
IAC 11-6. This means that all HMIWI that have not previously applied 
for a part 70 permit must submit their application by March 11, 2000. 
For those HMIWI whose original application did not address the 
provisions of 326 IAC 11-6, they must now update their application by 
March 11, 2000, to include Indiana's rule 326 IAC 11-6.

What else does the State Plan include?

    The State Plan includes: a demonstration of legal authority to 
implement the EG, documentation of public hearing, comments and 
responses, a source and emissions inventory, and a provision for State 
progress reports to EPA. These materials were submitted to satisfy the 
section

[[Page 70598]]

111(d) requirements under 40 CFR part 60, subpart B.

What public review opportunities were provided?

    The Indiana Department of Environmental Management held public 
hearings on the HMIWI rule on May 6, 1998, and September 2, 1998. IDEM 
did not receive any comments on the rule. IDEM published public notices 
on June 30, 1999, in newspapers throughout the state opening a comment 
period on the State Plan and providing the opportunity for a public 
hearing. IDEM did not receive a request for a hearing nor any comments 
on the plan materials.

IV. Review and Approval of the Indiana HMIWI State Plan.

Why is the Indiana HMIWI State Plan approvable?

    We compared the Indiana HMIWI rule 326 IAC 11-6 to our HMIWI EG. We 
find the Indiana rule to be at least as stringent as the EG. Also, the 
Indiana State Plan satisfies the requirements for an approvable section 
111(d) plan under subparts B and Ce of 40 CFR part 60. For these 
reasons, we are approving the Indiana HMIWI State Plan.

V. EPA Rulemaking Action.

    We are approving, through direct final rulemaking action, Indiana's 
sections 111(d) and 129 State Plan for HMIWIs. The EPA is publishing 
this action without prior proposal because EPA views this as a 
noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments. However, 
in a separate document in this Federal Register publication, the EPA is 
proposing to approve the state plan revision should adverse written 
comments be filed. This action will be effective February 15, 2000 
without further notice unless EPA receives relevant adverse written 
comment by January 18, 2000. Should the Agency receive such comments, 
it will publish a final rule informing the public that this action will 
not take effect. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public 
is advised that this action will be effective on February 15, 2000.

VI. Administrative Requirements.

A. Executive Order 12866

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 
regulatory action from Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, entitled 
``Regulatory Planning and Review.''

B. Executive Order 13132

    Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) revokes and replaces E.O. 
12612 (Federalism) and E.O. 12875 (Enhancing the Intergovernmental 
Partnership). E.O. 13132 requires EPA to develop an accountable process 
to ensure ``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in 
the development of regulatory policies that have federalism 
implications.'' ``Policies that have federalism implications'' is 
defined in the E.O. to include regulations that have ``substantial 
direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national 
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among the various levels of government.'' Under E.O. 
13132, EPA may not issue a regulation that has federalism implications, 
that imposes substantial direct compliance costs, and that is not 
required by statute, unless the Federal government provides the funds 
necessary to pay the direct compliance costs incurred by State and 
local governments, or EPA consults with State and local officials early 
in the process of developing the proposed regulation. EPA also may not 
issue a regulation that has federalism implications and that preempts 
State law unless the Agency consults with State and local officials 
early in the process of developing the proposed regulation.
    This final rule will not have substantial direct effects on the 
States, on the relationship between the national government and the 
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government, as specified in E.O. 13132. Thus, the 
requirements of section 6 of the E.O. do not apply to this rule.

C. Executive Order 13045

    Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety 
Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), applies to any rule that: (1) is 
determined to be ``economically significant'' as defined under E.O. 
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 does not involve 
decisions intended to mitigate environmental health or safety risks.

D. Executive Order 13084

    Under E.O. 13084, EPA may not issue a regulation that is not 
required by statute, that significantly affects 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. If the mandate is unfunded, 
EPA must 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, E.O. 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.'' Today's rule does not significantly or uniquely 
affect the communities of Indian tribal governments. Accordingly, the 
requirements of section 3(b) of E.O. 13084 do not apply to this rule.

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency 
to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to 
notice and comment rulemaking requirements unless the agency certifies 
that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small 
businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and small governmental 
jurisdictions.
    This final rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial 
number of small entities because approvals under section 111(d) of the 
Clean Air Act do not create any new requirements but simply approve 
requirements that the State is already imposing. Therefore, because the 
Federal approval does not create any new requirements, I certify that 
this action will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities.
    Moreover, due to the nature of the Federal-State relationship under 
the Clean Air Act, preparation of flexibility analysis would constitute 
Federal

inquiry into the economic reasonableness of state action. The Clean Air 
Act forbids EPA to base its actions concerning state plans on such 
grounds. Union Electric Co. v. U.S. EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976); 
42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).

F. Unfunded Mandates

    Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
(``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA 
must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or 
final rule that includes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated 
annual costs to State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate; 
or to private sector, of $100 million or more. Under section 205, EPA 
must select the most cost-effective and least burdensome alternative 
that achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent with 
statutory requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to establish a plan 
for informing and advising any small governments that may be 
significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.
    EPA has determined that the approval action promulgated does not 
include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated annual costs of 
$100 million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments in 
the aggregate, or to the private sector. This Federal action approves 
pre-existing requirements under State or local law, and imposes no new 
requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, or 
tribal governments, or to the private sector, result from this action.

G. 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 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 the Federal Register. A major rule cannot 
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal 
Register. This rule is not a ``major'' rule as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).

H. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12 of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act 
(NTTAA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to evaluate existing 
technical standards when developing a new regulation. To comply with 
NTTAA, EPA must consider and use ``voluntary consensus standards'' 
(VCS) if available and applicable when developing programs and policies 
unless doing so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise 
impractical.
    The EPA believes that VCS are inapplicable to this action. Today's 
action does not require the public to perform activities conducive to 
the use of VCS.

I. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for 
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court 
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by February 15, 2000. Filing a 
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule 
does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial 
review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial 
review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such 
rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings 
to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
