Maryland: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Immediate final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Maryland has applied to EPA for final authorization of 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 Maryland'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 receive written comments 
which oppose this authorization during the comment period, the decision 
to authorize Maryland's changes to its hazardous waste program will 
take effect. If we receive comments that oppose this action, or 
portions thereof, we will publish a document in the Federal Register 
withdrawing the relevant portions of this rule before they take effect 
and a separate document in the proposed rules section of this Federal 
Register will serve as a proposal to authorize changes to Maryland's 
program that were the subject of adverse comments.

DATES: This Final authorization will become effective on September 24, 
2004, unless EPA receives adverse written comment by August 25, 2004. 
If EPA receives any such comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal 
of this immediate final rule in the Federal Register and inform the 
public that this authorization, or portions thereof, will not take 
effect as scheduled.

directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov, your e-mail 
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the 
comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the 
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you 
include your name and other contact information in the body of your 
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your 
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for 
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic 
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of 
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Why are Revisions to State Programs Necessary?

    States that 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 to become more 
stringent or broader in scope, States must change their programs and 
apply to EPA to authorize the changes. Authorization of 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 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. What Decisions Have We Made in This Rule?

    EPA concludes that Maryland's application to revise its authorized 
program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements 
established by RCRA. Therefore, we grant Maryland final authorization 
to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in 
its application for program revisions, subject to the procedures 
described in section E, below. Maryland has responsibility for 
permitting treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) within 
its borders and for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA program 
described in its 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 HSWA requirements and prohibitions for which Maryland 
has not been authorized, including issuing HSWA permits, until the 
State is granted authorization to do so.

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

    This decision serves to authorize revisions to Maryland's 
authorized hazardous waste program. This action does not impose 
additional requirements on the regulated community because the 
regulations for which Maryland is being authorized by today's action 
are already effective and are not changed by today's action. Maryland 
has enforcement responsibilities under its state hazardous waste 
program for violations of its program, but EPA retains its authority 
under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, which include, among 
others, authority to:
     Perform inspections, and require monitoring, tests, 
analyses or reports;
     Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits; 
and
     Take enforcement actions regardless of whether Maryland 
has taken its own actions.

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 Maryland's program changes. If EPA receives comments that 
oppose this authorization, or portions thereof, that document will 
serve as a proposal to authorize the changes to Maryland's program that 
were the subject of adverse comment.

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

    If EPA receives comments that oppose this authorization, or 
portions thereof, we will withdraw this rule, or portions thereof, by 
publishing a document in the Federal Register before the rule would 
become effective. EPA will base any further decision on the 
authorization of Maryland's program changes on the proposal mentioned 
in the previous section. 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 the authorization of a 
particular change to the State's 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 Maryland Previously Been Authorized for?

    Initially Maryland received final authorization effective February 
11, 1985 (50 FR 3511; January 25, 1985) to implement its base hazardous 
waste management program. EPA granted authorization for changes to 
Maryland's regulatory program on June 1, 2001, effective July 31, 2001 
(66 FR 29712).

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

    On May 27, 2004, Maryland submitted a program revision application, 
seeking authorization of additional changes to its program in 
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. Maryland's revision application includes 
various regulations that are equivalent to, and no less stringent than, 
changes to the Federal hazardous waste program, as published in the 
Federal Register through June 1, 2001. We now make an immediate final 
decision, subject to receipt of written comments that oppose this 
action, that Maryland's hazardous waste program revision satisfies all 
of the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. 
Therefore, EPA grants Maryland final authorization for the following 
program changes:

1. Program Revision Changes for Federal Rules

    Maryland seeks authority to administer the Federal requirements 
that are listed in Tables 1-A and 1-B below. Tables 1-A and 1-B 
identify Maryland's analogs that are being recognized as equivalent or 
more stringent to the appropriate Federal requirements. The regulatory 
references are to Title 26, Subtitle 13 of the Code of Maryland 
Regulations (COMAR), Chapters 01 through 07, and Chapter 10, as amended 
effective November 1, 2002. The State's statutory authority for its 
hazardous waste program is based on the Environment Article, Title 7, 
Subtitle 2 of the Annotated Code of Maryland (1996 Repl. Vol., 1999 
Cumul. Supp.). Maryland has made no changes to its hazardous waste 
statutes since 1999.

\1\ A Revision Checklist is a document that addresses the specific
  changes made to the Federal regulations by one or more related final
  rules published in the Federal Register. EPA develops these checklists
  as tools to assist States in developing their authorization
  applications and in documenting specific State analogs to the Federal
  regulations. For more information see EPA's RCRA State Authorization
  Web page at http://www.epa.gov/epaoswer/hazwaste/state.

    In addition to the provisions listed in Table 1-A, Maryland is 
seeking authorization for the provisions listed in Table 1-B. These 
provisions relate to the comparable/syngas fuel requirements published 
on June 19, 1998 (63 FR 33782; Revision Checklist 168), and the 
subsequent revisions published on September 30, 1999 (64 FR 52828) and 
July 10, 2000 (65 FR 42292). Note that the 1999 and 2000 Federal rules 
address the standards that reflect the performance of Maximum 
Achievable Control Technologies (MACT) as specified by the Clean Air 
Act, as well as technical corrections to the June 19, 1998 comparable/
syngas fuel requirements. Maryland has not adopted, and is not seeking 
authorization for, the MACT standards.

2. State-Initiated Changes

    Maryland's program revision application includes State-initiated 
changes that are not directly related to any of the Revision Checklists 
in Tables 1-A and 1-B. All the State-initiated changes are related to 
either (1) the adoption of a provision that makes internal 
clarification and conforming changes to the State's regulations, (2) 
adoption of a provision that makes the State's regulations, which had 
been more stringent, now equivalent to the Federal hazardous waste 
regulations, or (3) correction of typographical errors. EPA grants 
Maryland final authorization for the State provisions listed in Table 
2. These requirements are analogous to the indicated Federal RCRA 
regulations found at 40 CFR as of July 1, 2001.

* Note: In accordance with its solid waste regulations at COMAR 26.04.07.03B(5), Maryland prohibits the
  acceptance of hazardous waste at a solid waste facility unless the facility is specifically authorized by a
  valid permit issued under COMAR 26.13.07.

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

1. Maryland Requirements That Are Broader in Scope Than the Federal 
Program

    The Maryland hazardous waste program contains certain provisions 
that are beyond the scope of the Federal program. These broader in 
scope provisions are not part of the program being authorized by 
today's action. EPA cannot enforce requirements that are broader in 
scope, although compliance with such provisions is required by Maryland 
law. Examples of broader in scope provisions of Maryland's program 
include, but are not limited to, the following:
    Maryland's regulations at COMAR section 26.13.10 include PCB-
containing lamp ballasts as a universal waste. The requirements for 
PCB-containing lamp ballasts go beyond the scope of the Federal program 
because PCB's are not a Federal hazardous waste and thus are not part 
of the program being authorized by today's action. EPA cannot enforce 
these requirements that are broader in scope, although compliance with 
these provisions is required by Maryland law.

2. Maryland Requirements That Are More Stringent Than the Federal 
Program

    Maryland's hazardous waste program contains several provisions that 
are more stringent than the RCRA program as codified in the July 1, 
2001 edition of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). More 
stringent provisions are part of a Federally-authorized program and 
are, therefore, Federally-enforceable. The specific more stringent 
provisions in Maryland's program are noted in section G. 1 and include, 
but are not limited to, the following:
    (a) Maryland's regulations are more stringent than the Federal 
requirements addressed by the final rule published on November 18, 1992 
(55 FR 54452, as amended on July 11, 1995 (60 FR 35703). The Federal 
provisions allow liquid wastes to be placed in landfills if the owner 
or operator complies with certain requirements. Per COMAR sections 
26.13.05.14.N(1) and 26.13.06.22F(1), Maryland does not allow bulk or 
non-containerized liquid waste or waste containing free liquids to be 
disposed in landfills.
    (b) Maryland's provision at COMAR section 26.13.02.19-2C(2) is more 
stringent than the Federal requirement at 40 CFR 261.38(c)(1)(ii) 
because in addition to the Federal requirement that a burner provide 
public notice in a major newspaper prior to burning an excluded 
comparable/syngas fuel, Maryland also requires burners to submit a copy 
of the public notice to the Secretary.
    (c) Maryland's provision at COMAR section 26.13.02.19-5B(3) is more 
stringent than the Federal requirements at 40 CFR 261.38(c)(11) because 
Maryland requires records and waste analysis plans to be maintained as 
long as the Department has an enforcement case, unlike the Federal 
program where records must be maintained for a period of three years.
    (d) Maryland has not adopted an analog to 40 CFR 270.42(j)(2), 
which provides for automatic approval of permit modification requests 
in the event the Director does not approve or deny a request within 90 
days of receipt. Therefore, Maryland's program is more stringent than 
the Federal program in this regard.

I. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?

    After authorization, Maryland will issue permits covering 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 that we issued prior to the effective 
date of this authorization until the timing and process for effective 
transfer to the State are mutually agreed upon. Until such time as 
formal transfer of EPA permit responsibility to the State occurs and 
EPA terminates its permit, EPA and the State agree to coordinate the 
administration of permits in order to maintain consistency. We will not 
issue any more new permits or new portions of permits for the 
provisions listed in Tables 1-A, 1-B and 2 above after the effective 
date of this authorization. EPA will continue to implement and issue 
permits for HSWA requirements for which Maryland is not yet authorized.

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

    Maryland is not seeking authority to operate the program on Indian 
lands, since there are no Federally-recognized Indian Lands in the 
State.

K. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying Maryland'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 V, for this authorization of Maryland's 
program changes until a later date.

L. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This rule only authorizes hazardous waste requirements pursuant to 
RCRA section 3006 and imposes no requirements other than those imposed 
by State law (see Supplementary Information, section A. Why are

[[Page 44467]]

Revisions to State Programs Necessary?). Therefore, this rule complies 
with applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as follows.

1. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning Review

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from its 
review under Executive Order 12866.

2. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose an information collection burden under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act.

3. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    After considering the economic impacts of today's rule on small 
entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that this rule 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities.

4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Because this rule approves 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.

5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule because it will 
not have federalism implications (i.e., 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).

6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 
Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule because it will 
not have tribal implications (i.e., substantial direct effects on one 
or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal 
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes).

7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health & Safety Risks

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is not 
economically significant and it is not based on health or safety risks.

8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is not 
a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866.

9. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    EPA approves State programs as long as they meet criteria required 
by RCRA, so it would be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, in 
its review of a State program, to require the use of any particular 
voluntary consensus standard in place of another standard that meets 
the requirements of RCRA. Thus, section 12(d) of the National 
Technology Transfer and Advance Act does not apply to this rule.

10. Congressional Review Act

    EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other information 
required by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) 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 on 
September 24, 2004.
