Alabama: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Immediate final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Alabama has applied to EPA for Final authorization of the 
changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA). 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 Alabama'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

[[Page 79770]]

Federal Register will serve as a proposal to authorize the changes.

DATES: This Final authorization will become effective on February 20, 
2001 unless EPA receives adverse written comment by January 19, 2001. 
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.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Narindar Kumar, Chief RCRA Programs 
Branch, Waste Management Division, Environmental Protection Agency, The 
Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, 
Georgia 30303-8960; (404) 562-8440. You can view and copy Alabama's 
application from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the following addresses: 1400 
Coliseum Blvd., Montgomery, Alabama 36130-1463, Phone number: (334)

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 Alabama's application to revise its authorized 
program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements 
established by RCRA. Therefore, we grant Alabama Final authorization to 
operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in the 
authorization application. Alabama 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 Alabama, 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 Alabama 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. Alabama 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 Alabama 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 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 Alabama Previously Been Authorized for?

    Alabama initially received Final authorization on December 8, 1987, 
effective December 22, 1987, (52 FR 46466) to implement the RCRA 
hazardous waste management program. We granted authorization for 
changes to their program on November 29, 1991, effective January 28, 
1992 (56 FR 60926), May 13, 1992, effective July 12, 1992 (57 FR 
20422), October 21, 1992, effective December 21, 1992 (57 FR 47996), 
March 17, 1993, effective May 17, 1993 (58 FR 20422), September 24, 
1993, effective November 23, 1993 (58 FR 49932), February 1, 1994, 
effective April 4, 1994 (59 FR 4594), November 14, 1994, effective 
January 13, 1995 (59 FR 56407), August 14, 1995, effective October 13, 
1995 (60 FR 41818), February 14, 1996, effective April 15, 1996 (61 FR 
5718), April 25, 1996, effective June 24, 1996 (61 FR 5718), November 
21, 1997 effective February 10, 1998 (62 FR 62262).

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

    On October 28, 1999, and on March 19, 2000, Alabama submitted final 
complete program revision applications, 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 Alabama's hazardous waste program revision satisfies all 
of the requirements necessary to qualify for Final authorization. 
Therefore, we grant Alabama Final authorization for the following 
program changes which were promulgated on July 1, 1995-June 30, 1996 
and on July 1, 1996-June 30, 1997:

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

    We consider the following State requirement to be more stringent 
than the Federal requirements:
     335-14-9-.03, Alabama has adopted 40 CFR 268 by reference 
exclusive of 268.1(c)(3). The State is more stringent by excluding 
disposal of waste into nonhazardous or hazardous injection wells.

This requirement is part of Alabama's authorized program and is 
federally enforceable.
    EPA cannot delegate the Federal requirements at 61 FR 16290-16316, 
``Imports and Exports of Hazardous'' (checklist 152). Although Alabama 
has adopted these requirements verbatim from the Federal regulations at 
335-14-2-.01(6)(a)5, 335-14-3-.01(1)(d), 335-14-3-.01(1)(e)-(h), 335-

14-11-.06(1)(d), EPA will continue to implement those requirements.

I. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?

    Alabama 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 until 
the permits expire or are terminated. 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 
Alabama is not yet authorized.

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

    Alabama is not authorized to carry out its hazardous waste program 
in Indian country within the State, which includes the Poarch Band of 
Creek Indians. Therefore, this action has no effect on Indian country. 
EPA will continue to implement and administer the RCRA program in these 
lands.

K. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying Alabama'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 referencing 
the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. We reserve the amendment 
of 40 CFR part 272, subpart B for this authorization of Alabama's 
program 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 (Pub. L. 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

[[Page 79773]]

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 February 20, 2001.
