    Underground Storage Tank Program: Approved State Program for New 
    Mexico
    
    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Immediate final rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended 
    (RCRA), authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to 
    grant approval to states to operate their underground storage tank 
    programs in lieu of the federal program. 40 CFR part 282 codifies EPA's 
    decision to approve state programs and incorporates by reference those 
    provisions of the state statutes and regulations that will be subject 
    to EPA's inspection and enforcement authorities under sections 9005 and 
    9006 of RCRA subtitle I and other applicable statutory and regulatory 
    provisions. This rule codifies in part 282 the prior approval of New 
    Mexico's underground storage tank program and incorporates by reference 
    appropriate provisions of state statutes and regulations.
    
    DATES: This regulation is effective March 18, 1996, unless EPA 
    publishes a prior Federal Register notice withdrawing this immediate 
    final rule. All comments on the codification of New Mexico's 
    underground storage tank program must be received by the close of 
    business February 20, 1996. The incorporation by reference of certain 
    publications listed in the regulations is approved by the Director of 
    the Federal Register, as of March 18, 1996, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 
    552(a).

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Background
    
        Section 9004 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 
    as amended, (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. 6991c, allows the U.S. Environmental 
    Protection Agency to approve state underground storage tank programs to 
    operate in the state in lieu of the federal underground storage tank 
    program. EPA published a Federal Register document announcing its 
    decision to grant approval to New Mexico on August 21, 1990 (55 FR 
    38064). Approval was effective on November 16, 1990.
        EPA codifies its approval of State programs in 40 CFR part 282 and 
    incorporates by reference therein the state statutes and regulations 
    that will be subject to EPA's inspection and enforcement authorities 
    under sections 9005 and 9006 of subtitle I of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991d and 
    6991e, and other applicable statutory and regulatory provisions. 
    Today's rulemaking codifies EPA's approval of the New Mexico 
    underground storage tank program. This codification reflects the state 
    program in effect at the time EPA granted New Mexico approval under 
    section 9004(a), 42 U.S.C. 6991c(a) for its underground storage tank 
    program. Notice and opportunity for comment were provided earlier on 
    the Agency's decision to approve the New Mexico program, and EPA is not 
    now reopening that decision nor requesting comment on it.
        This effort provides clear notice to the public of the scope of the 
    approved program in each state. By codifying the approved New Mexico 
    program and by amending the Code of Federal Regulations whenever a new 
    or different set of requirements is approved in New Mexico, the status 
    of federally approved requirements of the New Mexico program will be 
    readily discernible. Only those provisions of the New Mexico 
    underground storage tank program for which approval has been granted by 
    EPA will be incorporated by reference for enforcement purposes.
        To codify EPA's approval of New Mexico's underground storage tank 
    program, EPA has added section 282.81 to title 40 of the CFR. Section 
    282.81 incorporates by reference for enforcement purposes the State's 
    statutes and regulations. Section 282.81 also references the Attorney 
    General's Statement, Demonstration of Adequate Enforcement Procedures, 
    the Program Description, and the Memorandum of Agreement, which are 
    approved as part of the underground storage tank program under subtitle 
    I of RCRA.
        The Agency retains the authority under sections 9005 and 9006 of 
    subtitle I of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991d and 6991e, and other applicable 
    statutory and regulatory provisions to undertake inspections and 
    enforcement actions in approved states. With respect to such an 
    enforcement action, the Agency will rely on federal sanctions, federal 
    inspection authorities, and federal 
    
    [[Page 1217]]
    procedures rather than the state authorized analogs to these 
    provisions. Therefore, the approved New Mexico enforcement authorities 
    will not be incorporated by reference. Section 282.81 lists those 
    approved New Mexico authorities that would fall into this category.
        The public also needs to be aware that some provisions of the 
    State's underground storage tank program are not part of the federally 
    approved state program. These non-approved provisions are not part of 
    the RCRA Subtitle I program because they are ``broader in scope'' than 
    Subtitle I of RCRA. See 40 CFR 281.12(a)(3)(ii). As a result, state 
    provisions which are ``broader in scope'' than the federal program are 
    not incorporated by reference for purposes of enforcement in part 282. 
    Section 282.81 of the codification simply lists for reference and 
    clarity the New Mexico statutory and regulatory provisions which are 
    ``broader in scope'' than the federal program and which are not, 
    therefore, part of the approved program being codified today. ``Broader 
    in scope'' provisions cannot be enforced by EPA; the State, however, 
    will continue to enforce such provisions.
    
    Certification Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        This rule codifies the decision already made (55 FR 38064, August 
    21, 1990) to approve the New Mexico underground storage tank program 
    and thus has no separate effect. Therefore, this rule does not require 
    a regulatory flexibility analysis. Thus, pursuant to section 605(b) of 
    the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 605(b), I hereby certify that 
    this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
    number of small entities.
    
    Compliance With Executive Order 12866
    
        The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the 
    requirements of Section 6 of Executive Order 12866.
    
    Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., Federal 
    agencies must consider the paperwork burden imposed by any information 
    request contained in a proposed or final rule. This rule will not 
    impose any information requirements upon the regulated community.

        For the reasons set forth in the preamble, 40 CFR Part 282 is 
    amended as follows:
    
    PART 282--APPROVED UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK PROGRAMS
    
        1. The authority citation for part 282 continues to read as 
    follows:
    
        Authority: 42 U.S.C. 6912, 6991c, 6991d, and 6991e.
    
    Subpart B--Approved State Programs
    
        2. Subpart B is amended by adding Sec. 282.81 to read as follows:
    
    
    Sec. 282.81  New Mexico State-Administered Program.
    
        (a) The State of New Mexico is approved to administer and enforce 
    an underground storage tank program in lieu of the federal program 
    under Subtitle I of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 
    (RCRA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6991 et seq. The State's program, as 
    administered by the New Mexico Environmental Improvement Board, was 
    approved by EPA pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6991c and part 281 of this 
    Chapter. EPA approved the New Mexico program on August 21, 1990 and it 
    was effective on November 16, 1990.
        (b) New Mexico has primary responsibility for enforcing its 
    underground storage tank program. However, EPA retains the authority to 
    exercise its inspection and enforcement authorities under sections 9005 
    and 9006 of subtitle I of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6991d and 6991e, as well as 
    under other statutory and regulatory provisions.
        (c) To retain program approval, New Mexico must revise its approved 
    program to adopt new changes to the federal subtitle I program which 
    make it more stringent, in accordance with section 9004 of RCRA, 42 
    U.S.C. 6991c, and 40 CFR part 281, subpart E. If New Mexico obtains 
    approval for the revised requirements pursuant to section 9004 of RCRA, 
    42 U.S.C. 6991c, the newly approved statutory and regulatory provisions 
    will be added to this subpart and notice of any change will be 
    published in the Federal Register.
        (d) New Mexico has final approval for the following elements 
    submitted to EPA in New Mexico's program application for final approval 
    and approved by EPA on August 21, 1990. Copies may be obtained from the 
    Underground Storage Tank Program, New Mexico Environmental Improvement
