Tennessee: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Immediate final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Tennessee has applied to EPA for Final authorization of the 
changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA). Tennessee's revision consists of the 
provisions contained in RCRA Cluster VII. EPA has determined that these 
changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for Final 
authorization, and is authorizing the State's changes through this 
immediate final action. EPA is publishing this rule to authorize the 
changes without a prior proposal because we believe this action is not 
controversial and do not expect comments that oppose it. Unless we get 
written comments which oppose this authorization during the comment 
period, the decision to authorize Tennessee's changes to their 
hazardous waste program will take effect. If we get comments that 
oppose this action, we will publish a document in the Federal Register 
withdrawing this rule before it takes effect and a separate document in 
the proposed rules section of this Federal Register will serve as a 
proposal to authorize the changes.

DATES: This Final authorization will become effective on November 21, 
2000 unless EPA receives adverse written comment by October 23, 2000. 
If EPA receives such comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal of 
this immediate final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public 
that this authorization will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Why Are Revisions to State Programs Necessary?

    States which have received final authorization from EPA under RCRA 
section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must maintain a hazardous waste 
program that is equivalent to, consistent with, and no less stringent 
than the Federal program. As the Federal program changes, States must 
change their programs and ask EPA to authorize the changes. Changes to 
State programs may be necessary when Federal or State statutory or 
regulatory authority is modified or when certain other changes occur. 
Most commonly, States must change 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. What Decisions Have We Made in This Rule?

    We conclude that Tennessee's application to revise its authorized 
program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements 
established by RCRA. Therefore, we grant Tennessee Final authorization 
to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in 
the authorization application. Tennessee has responsibility for 
permitting Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (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 the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments 
of 1984 (HSWA). New Federal requirements and prohibitions imposed by 
Federal regulations that EPA promulgates under the authority of HSWA 
take effect in authorized States before they are authorized for the 
requirements. Thus, EPA will implement those requirements and 
prohibitions in Tennessee, including issuing permits, until the State 
is granted authorization to do so.

C. What Is the Effect of Today's Authorization Decision?

    The effect of this decision is that a facility in Tennessee subject 
to RCRA will now have to comply with the authorized State requirements 
instead of the equivalent Federal requirements in order to comply with 
RCRA. Tennessee has enforcement responsibilities under its state 
hazardous waste program for violations of such program, but EPA retains 
its authority under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, which 
include, among others, authority to:
     Do inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses or 
reports
     Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits
     Take enforcement actions regardless of whether the State 
has taken its own actions
    This action does not impose additional requirements on the 
regulated community because the regulations for which Tennessee is 
being authorized by today's action are already effective, and are not 
changed by today's action.

D. Why Wasn't There a Proposed Rule Before Today's Rule?

    EPA did not publish a proposal before today's rule because we view 
this as a routine program change and do not expect comments that oppose 
this approval. We are providing an opportunity for public comment now. 
In addition to this rule, in the proposed rules section of today's 
Federal Register we are publishing a separate document that proposes to 
authorize the state program changes.

E. What Happens if EPA Receives Comments That Oppose This Action?

    If EPA receives comments that oppose this authorization, we will 
withdraw this rule by publishing a document in the Federal Register 
before the rule becomes effective. EPA will base any further decision 
on the authorization of the state program changes on the proposal 
mentioned in the previous paragraph. We will then address all public 
comments in a later final rule. You may not have another opportunity to 
comment. If you want to comment on this authorization, you must do so 
at this time.
    If we receive comments that oppose only the authorization of a 
particular

[[Page 57288]]

change to the State hazardous waste program, we will withdraw that part 
of this rule but the authorization of the program changes that the 
comments do not oppose will become effective on the date specified 
above. The Federal Register withdrawal document will specify which part 
of the authorization will become effective, and which part is being 
withdrawn.

F. What Has Tennessee Previously Been Authorized for?

    Tennessee initially received Final authorization on January 22, 
1985, effective February 5, 1985 (50 FR 2820) to implement the RCRA 
hazardous waste management program. We granted authorization for 
changes to their program on September 15, 1999, effective November 15, 
1999 (64 FR 49998), January 30, 1998, effective March 31, 1998 (63 FR 
45870), on May 23, 1996, effective July 22, 1996 (61 FR 25796), on 
August 24, 1995, effective October 23, 1995 (60 FR 43979), on May 8, 
1995, effective July 7, 1995 (60 FR 22524), on June 1, 1992, effective 
July 31, 1992 (57 FR 23063), and on June 12, 1987, effective August 11, 
1987 (52 FR 22443).

G. What Changes Are we Authorizing With Today's Action?

    On January 27, 2000, Tennessee submitted a final complete program 
revision application, seeking authorization of their changes in 
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We now make an immediate final decision, 
subject to receipt of written comments that oppose this action, that 
Tennessee's hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of the 
requirements necessary to qualify for Final authorization. Therefore, 
we grant Tennessee Final authorization for the following program 
changes:

\1\ The Tennessee provisions are from the Tennessee Hazardous Waste Management Regulations adopted February 3,
  1998.

H. Where Are the Revised State Rules Different From the Federal 
Rules?

    There are no State requirements that are more stringent or broader 
in scope than the Federal requirements.

I. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?

    Tennessee will issue permits for all the provisions for which it is 
authorized and will administer the permits it issues. EPA will continue 
to administer any RCRA hazardous waste permits or portions of permits 
which we issued prior to the effective date of this authorization. At 
the time the State program is approved, EPA will suspend issuance of 
Federal permits in the State. EPA will transfer any pending permit 
applications, completed permits or pertinent file information to the 
State within thirty days of the approval of the State program. We will 
not issue any more new permits or new portions of permits for the 
provisions listed in the Table above after the effective date of this 
authorization. EPA will continue to implement and issue permits for 
HSWA requirements for which Tennessee is not yet authorized.

J. How Does Today's Action Affect Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 115) in 
Tennessee?

    The State of Tennessee's Hazardous Waste Program is not being 
authorized to operate in Indian Country.

K. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying Tennessee's Hazardous 
Waste Program as Authorized in This Rule?

    Codification is the process of placing the State's statutes and 
regulations that comprise the State's authorized hazardous waste 
program into the Code of Federal Regulations. We do this by

[[Page 57291]]

referencing the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. We reserve 
the amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart RR for this authorization of 
Tennessee's program changes until a later date.

L. Administrative Requirements

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this action from 
the requirements of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 
1993), and therefore this action is not subject to review by OMB. This 
action authorizes state requirements for the purpose of RCRA 3006 and 
imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. 
Accordingly, I certify that this action will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this action 
authorizes pre-existing requirements under state law and does not 
impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state 
law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or 
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4). For the same reason, 
this action also does not significantly or uniquely affect the 
communities of tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order 
13084 (63 FR 27655, May 10, 1998). This action 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 Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), 
because it merely authorizes state requirements as part of the State 
RCRA hazardous waste program without altering the relationship or the 
distribution of power and responsibilities established by RCRA. This 
action also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 
23, 1997), because it is not economically significant and it does not 
make decisions based on environmental health or safety risks.
    Under RCRA 3006(b), EPA grants a State's application for 
authorization as long as the State meets the criteria required by RCRA. 
It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it 
reviews a State authorization application, to require the use of any 
particular voluntary consensus standard in place of another standard 
that otherwise satisfies the requirements of RCRA. Thus, the 
requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and 
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. As required 
by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996), 
in issuing this rule, EPA has taken the necessary steps to eliminate 
drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential litigation, and 
provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct. EPA has complied 
with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988) by examining 
the takings implications of the rule in accordance with the ``Attorney 
General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk and 
Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued under the executive order. 
This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.).
    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 document 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 in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot take effect 
until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This 
action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This 
action will be effective November 21, 2000.
