Wisconsin: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Wisconsin 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 reviewed Wisconsin's application and 
has preliminarily determined that these changes satisfy all 
requirements needed to qualify for final authorization, and is

[[Page 71584]]

proposing to authorize the State's changes. This proposal authorizes 
Wisconsin for new regulations which they have not been previously 
authorized for.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before 
December 26, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
RCRA-2008-0712 by one of the following methods: http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the online instructions for submitting 
comments.
    E-mail: [email protected].
    Mail: Jean Gromnicki, Wisconsin Regulatory Specialist, LR-8J, U.S. 
EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID Number EPA-R05-
RCRA-2008-0712. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be 
included in the public docket without change and may be made available 
online at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal 
information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed 
to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information 
that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through 
www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The www.regulations.gov Web site is an 
``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through www.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 or any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public 
docket, visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epagov/epahome/dockets.htm.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the 
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some of the 
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such 
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy. 
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically 
in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy. You may view and copy 
Wisconsin's application from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the following 
addresses: U.S. EPA, Region 5, LR-8J, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, 
Chicago, Illinois, contact: Jean Gromnicki (312) 886-6162; or Wisconsin 
Department of Natural Resources, 101 S. Webster Street, Madison, 
Wisconsin, contact: Patricia Chabot (608) 264-6015.

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 Wisconsin's application to revise its authorized 
program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements 
established by RCRA. Therefore, we propose to grant Wisconsin final 
authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes 
described in the authorization application. Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin, including 
issuing permits, until the State is granted authorization to do so.

C. What Is the Effect of This Authorization Decision?

    The effect of this decision is that a facility in Wisconsin 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. Wisconsin 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:
    1. Do inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses or 
reports.
    2. Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits.
    3. 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 Wisconsin is 
being authorized by today's action are already effective, and are not 
changed by today's action.

D. What Happens If EPA Receives Comments That Oppose This Action?

    If EPA receives comments that oppose this authorization, we will 
address all public comments in a later Federal Register. You may not 
have another opportunity to comment. If you want to comment on this 
authorization, you must do so at this time.

E. What Has Wisconsin Previously Been Authorized for?

    Wisconsin initially received final authorization on January 30, 
1986, effective January 31, 1986 (51 FR 3783) to implement the RCRA 
hazardous waste management program. We granted authorization for 
changes to their program on May 23, 1989, effective June 6, 1989 (54 FR 
15029), 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), on August 4, 1994, 
effective October 4, 1994 (59 FR 39971), on August 5, 1999, effective 
October 4, 1999 (64 FR 42630), and on June 26, 2002, effective June 26, 
2002 (67 FR 43002).

[[Page 71585]]

F. What Changes Are We Authorizing With This Action?

    On April 29, 2008, Wisconsin submitted a final complete program 
revision application, seeking authorization of their changes in 
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We now make a final decision, subject to 
receipt of written comments that oppose this action, that Wisconsin's 
hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of the requirements 
necessary to qualify for final authorization. Therefore, we propose to 
grant Wisconsin final authorization for the following program changes:

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

    These practices are prohibited in Wisconsin: Underground Injection 
(40 CFR part 144), and Land Treatment (40 CFR 270.20). Wisconsin also 
does not provide for Permit by Rule (40 CFR 270.60). Wisconsin does not 
allow automatic authorization under the permit modification regulations 
found in 40 CFR 270.42(b)(6). The 10 year Remedial Action Plan, or RAP 
(40 CFR 270.79 et seq.) is replaced by a 5 year Remediation Variance 
(NR670.079).
    These Wisconsin regulations are more stringent: 662.220(5)(c,d), 
662.220(6)(c,d,f), and 670.030 (annual report required instead of a 
biennial report).
    Wisconsin maintains different financial regulations, that allow for 
additional equivalent financial mechanisms (664.0143), do not allow the 
net worth test for closure under Part 665, and maintain some more 
stringent insurance requirements under 664.0143(5)(h), 
664.0147(1)(a)(3), and 665.0147(1)(a)(3).
    The following Wisconsin regulations have no Federal Counterpart: 
666.081, 666.900 through 666.910, and 673.11. On the converse, there 
are no Wisconsin provisions for 40 CFR 268.5, 268.44 (other than 
268.44(h)), and 270.3 as these are Federal non-delegable provisions.

H. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?

    Wisconsin 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 
they 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 Wisconsin 
is not yet authorized.

I. How Does This Action Affect Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in 
Wisconsin?

    Wisconsin is not authorized to carry out its hazardous waste 
program in ``Indian Country,'' as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Indian 
Country includes:
    1. All lands within the exterior boundaries of Indian reservations 
within the State of Wisconsin;
    2. Any land held in trust by the U.S. for an Indian tribe; and
    3. Any other land, whether on or off an Indian reservation that 
qualifies as Indian Country.
    Therefore, this action has no effect on Indian Country. EPA will 
continue to implement and administer the RCRA program in Indian 
Country.

J. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying Wisconsin'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. Wisconsin's rules, up to 
and including those revised June 7, 1991, as corrected August 19, 1991, 
have previously been codified through the incorporation-by-reference 
effective February 4, 1992 (57 FR 4162) . We reserve the amendment of 
40 CFR part 272, subpart KK for the codification of Wisconsin's program 
changes until a later date.

K. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This proposed rule only authorizes hazardous waste requirements 
pursuant to RCRA 3006 and imposes no requirements other than those 
imposed by State law (see Supplementary Information, Section A. Why are 
Revisions to State Programs Necessary?). Therefore this rule complies 
with applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as follows:

1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory Planning Review

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from its 
review under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993).

2. Paperwork Reduction Act

    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.).

3. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    After considering the economic impacts of today's rule on small 
entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), 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 of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).

5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) 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 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) does not 
apply to this rule because it will not have tribal implications (i.e., 
substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, or 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 and Safety Risks

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 
April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant as defined 
in Executive Order 12866 and because the EPA does not have reason to 
believe the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this 
action present a disproportionate risk to children.

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

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 
22, 2001), 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 
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 to this rule.

10. Executive Order 12988

    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.

11. Executive Order 12630: Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of 
Unanticipated Takings

    EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 18, 
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.

12. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations

    Because this rule proposes authorization of pre-existing State 
rules and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by 
State law and there are no anticipated significant adverse human health 
or environmental effects, the rule is not subject to Executive Order 
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
