Land Disposal Restrictions Phase III--Decharacterized
Wastewaters, Carbamate Wastes, and Spent Potliners
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Technical correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On April 8, 1996, EPA published regulations covering both
congressionally-mandated and court-ordered prohibitions on land
disposal of certain hazardous wastes. On the same day, EPA published a
partial withdrawal and correction of those regulations to the extent
the Land Disposal Program Flexibility Act (LDPFA) (signed by the
President on March 26, 1996) revoked most of the court-ordered
prohibitions. This notice corrects technical errors in the final
regulations and the partial withdrawal notice.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on June 28, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Supporting materials are available for viewing in the RCRA
Information Center (RIC), located at Crystal Gateway One, 1235

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Reasons and Basis for Today's Amendment
The Agency has received comments from the regulated community and
State agencies requesting clarification on certain aspects of the April
8, 1996 Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR) Phase III final rule (61 FR
15566) and the April 8, 1996 withdrawal notice (61 FR 15660). Today's
amendment responds to these comments and makes technical corrections
where appropriate.
II. Amendments to the LDR Phase III Final Rule
There were several errors in the treatment standard table in
Sec. 268.40, and in the table of Universal Treatment Standards (UTS) in
Sec. 268.48. The errors pertained to portions of the final rule which
were not affected by the LDPFA. It should be noted that certain errors
in both of these tables are not being corrected here as they are being
corrected by the Office of Federal Register.
A. Section 268.40 Table
There were several errors in the table ``Treatment Standards for
Hazardous
[[Page 33681]]
Waste'' in section 268.40. First, the waste codes for the proposed
organobromine wastes--K140 and U404--inadvertently appeared in the
table. As was explained in the preamble to the final rule (61 FR 15566,
15569, April 8, 1996), however, the Agency is not promulgating
treatment standards for these wastes at this time since the listing of
these wastes as hazardous has not been finalized. Today's notice
removes these entries from the table.
Second, the treatment standards set out in the table for the
carbamate wastes were incorrect. These entries reflected the waste
codes and constituents in the proposed listing instead of the waste
codes and constituents in the finalized listing (60 FR 7824, February
9, 1995). These entries also are being corrected in today's notice.
Third, the entries for F006, F007, F010, F037, F039, K006, and K062
included treatment standards for constituents for which previously
there was no standard (``NA'' had appeared instead). The proposed rule
had included treatment standards to replace all of the ``NA'' entries
in the table. However, as was explained in the preamble to the final
rule (61 FR at 15569), the Agency agreed with commenters who felt it
was arbitrary to add a standard for the sake of completeness where
previously there was none, and, therefore, the Agency did not finalize
the proposed changes. However, EPA inadvertently continued to include
the standard for these waste codes in the final rule. Today's notice
restores the ``NA'' entries.
B. Section 268.48 Table
The wastewater treatment standards for A2213, Butylate, Cycloate,
EPTC, Molinate, Pebulate, Prosulfocarb, Triallate, and Vernolate
appeared in the table of UTS as 0.003, although the preamble gave the
correct standard as 0.042 (61 FR 15584). Today's notice corrects the
UTS table.
III. Amendments to the LDR Phase III Withdrawal Notice
There are four sections in the withdrawal notice that need
correction/clarification--Secs. 148.1, 268.1, 268.3, and 268.40.
A. Section 148.1
The Agency today is amending the language in Sec. 148.1(d) to more
accurately reflect the recently enacted LDPFA. The revised language
clarifies that decharacterized wastes injected in any Class I injection
well--either hazardous or nonhazardous--are not prohibited wastes, and,
therefore, are not subject to the Land Disposal Restrictions (LDR)
treatment standards. This result was alluded to in the April 8, 1996
withdrawal notice (61 FR 15661), but the Agency believes it is
appropriate to further make it clear that both hazardous and
nonhazardous Class I wells are excepted, as provided in the text of the
legislation.
B. Section 268.1
The Agency also is amending the language in Sec. 268.1(c) to mirror
the amended language in Sec. 148.1(d) described above. We also are
clarifying that decharacterized wastewaters managed in Clean Water Act
(CWA) or equivalent systems with land disposal units are not prohibited
wastes, and, thus, are not subject to LDR treatment standards. As
provided in the legislation, the decharacterized wastes managed in CWA
or CWA-equivalent systems which remain prohibited are those that have a
specified ``method of treatment'' for a treatment standard, or are
reactive cyanide wastes. This clarification was also alluded to in the
April 8, 1996 withdrawal notice (61 FR 15661).
C. Section 268.3
The Agency is today amending the dilution prohibition language in
Sec. 268.3(b) to clarify that the treatment method of deactivation
(DEACT) is not considered a specified method of treatment for the
purposes of that section. This change merely codifies existing Agency
interpretation (see preamble discussion at 55 FR 22666, June 1, 1990;
and 57 FR 8087-8088, March 6, 1992).
D. Section 268.40
As discussed in A. and B. of this section, decharacterized wastes
managed in CWA or CWA-equivalent systems (with land disposal units
receiving the decharacterized waste) are no longer prohibited wastes,
with the exception of characteristic wastes that have a specified
method as a treatment standard and reactive cyanide. All
decharacterized wastes injected into Class I wells also are no longer
prohibited wastes.
In the rush of preparing a notice to reflect the new legislation as
quickly as possible, EPA inadvertently failed to remove the numerical
standards for these categories of wastes and replace them with the
characteristic level (61 FR at 15664-15668). Therefore, the treatment
standards in the April 8 withdrawal notice for these wastes were in
error. For instance, the wastewater treatment standard for benzene in
D018 wastes that are managed in CWA, CWA equivalent, or Class I
injection wells was given as 0.14 mg/l. In fact, a D018 wastewater
managed in one of these systems need only meet the regulatory level of
0.5 mg/l to be rendered nonhazardous (i.e. decharacterized) and, hence,
no longer prohibited. Today's notice corrects this mistake by removing
that category from the table of Treatment Standards for Hazardous
Wastes, and indicating via a footnote that these wastes, once
decharacterized, are no longer subject to LDR treatment standards.
The Agency wishes to clarify further that these non-LDR wastes also
are not subject to the LDR notification and certification requirements
of Sec. 268.7 and Sec. 268.9.
IV. Clarification to the Phase III Withdrawal Notice
Under RCRA regulations in effect before the LDPFA, wastes that are
listed solely because they exhibit a hazardous characteristic are not
prohibited from land disposal if they are managed in CWA, CWA-
equivalent, or Class I injection well systems and are no longer
hazardous at the point of land disposal. Id.; see also the codification
of this principle at 40 CFR 261.3(a)(2)(iii) and 57 FR at 37210-211
(August 18, 1992). (The exception is for listed wastes that are subject
to a method of treatment; these wastes cannot be disposed of in CWA or
equivalent systems. See 55 FR at 22656, 22657 (general principle in
Third Third final rule that characteristic wastes subject to a method
of treatment remain subject to dilution prohibition even when managed
in CWA treatment systems) and 57 FR 37210 (same principle should apply
to wastes listed solely because they exhibit a characteristic).
In the April 8, 1996 withdrawal notice, EPA stated that it would
not, at least for the time being, reopen those land disposal
restriction rules applicable to wastes listed solely because they
exhibit a hazardous waste characteristic (e.g. U002 commercial chemical
product acetone). See 61 FR at 15661-62. This is because the new
legislation does not directly apply to such wastes. Id.
EPA is taking this opportunity to clarify that the existing rules
on wastes listed solely because they exhibit a characteristic apply to
all wastes, regardless of whether they are wastewaters or non-
wastewaters, so long as they are managed in the prescribed types of
wastewater management systems. Notwithstanding unclear language in the
August, 1992 preamble cited above, what the Agency intended to do was
to put wastes listed solely because they exhibit a characteristic on
[[Page 33682]]
the same footing vis-a-vis the dilution prohibition as the
characteristic wastes covered by the Third Third rule. 57 FR at 37210.
Under that Third Third rule, most characteristic wastes (whether or not
they were in the wastewater or nonwastewater treatability group) could
be permissibly be managed in CWA systems and Class I UIC injection
wells so long as they were rendered non-hazardous by any means before
being placed in a land disposal unit (i.e. surface impoundment or Class
I injection well). 55 FR at 22656-658 (June 1, 1990). EPA is formally
clarifying this point by means of today's preamble discussion.
V. Rationale for Immediate Effective Date
Today's notice does not create any new regulatory requirements;
rather, it restates and clarifies requirements already in effect (by
virtue of the new legislation) by correcting a number of errors in the
April 8, 1996 final rule and withdrawal notice. For these reasons, EPA
finds that good cause exists under section 3010(b)(3) of RCRA, 42
U.S.C. 9903(b)(3), to provide for an immediate effective date. See
generally 61 FR at 15662. For the same reasons, EPA finds that there is
good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3) to promulgate today's corrections
in final form and that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3) to
waive the requirement that regulations be published at least 30 days
before they become effective.
VI. Analysis Under Executive Order 12866, the Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act of 1995, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and the Paperwork
Reduction Act
This technical correction does not create any new regulatory
requirements. It merely corrects technical errors and clarifies
requirements already in effect (by virtue of the new legislation) and
therefore is not a ``significant'' regulatory action within the meaning
of Executive Order 12866, and does not impose any Federal mandate on
State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector within the
meaning of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. For the same
reasons, pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that
this action would not have a significant impact on a substantial number
of small entities. Finally, because this is a technical correction, it
does not affect requirements under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
VII. Submission to Congress and the General Accounting Office
Under section 801(a)(1)(A) of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness
Act of 1996, EPA submitted 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 General Accounting
Office prior to publication of the rule in today's Federal Register.
This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by section 804(2) of the
APA as amended.
