    Wisconsin: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
    Management Program Revision
    
    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Immediate final rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: Wisconsin has applied for final authorization of the revision 
    to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and 
    Recovery Act (RCRA). The scope of this revision package includes 
    partial completion of SPA's 8, 9, 13, 14 and 15, with the following 
    clusters: RCRA Cluster I, including HSWA and non-HSWA Rules; RCRA 
    Cluster II, including HSWA and non-HSWA provisions; RCRA Cluster III, 
    including HSWA and non-HSWA provisions; RCRA Cluster IV, including HSWA 
    and non-HSWA provisions; HSWA Cluster I; HSWA Cluster II; non-HSWA 
    Cluster III; non-HSWA Cluster V; and non-HSWA Cluster VI. The major 
    rules in the application include Land Disposal Restrictions, Recycled 
    Used Oil Management, Wood Preserving Listings, and Organic Air Emission 
    Standards for Process Vents and Equipment Leaks. The EPA has reviewed 
    Wisconsin's application and determined that its hazardous waste program 
    revision satisfies all of the requirements necessary to qualify for 
    final authorization. Unless adverse written comments are received 
    during the review and comment period, EPA's decision to authorize 
    Wisconsin's hazardous waste program revision will take effect as 
    provided below.
    
    DATES: This rule will become effective on October 4, 1999, without 
    further notice, unless EPA receives relevant adverse comments by 
    September 7, 1999. Should EPA receive such comments EPA will publish a 
    timely document withdrawing this rule.

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    A. Background
    
        States with final authorization under section 3006(b) of the RCRA, 
    42 U.S.C. 6926(b), have a continuing obligation to maintain a hazardous 
    waste program that is equivalent to, consistent with, and no less 
    stringent than the Federal hazardous waste program. As the Federal 
    hazardous waste program changes, the States must revise their programs 
    and apply for authorization of the revisions. Revisions to State 
    hazardous waste 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. Wisconsin
    
        Wisconsin initially received Final Authorization on January 30, 
    1986, effective January 31, 1986 (51 FR 3783) to implement its base 
    hazardous waste management program. Wisconsin received authorization 
    for revisions to its program on May 23, 1989, effective June 6, 1989 
    (54 FR 22278), 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) and on August 5, 
    1994, effective October 4, 1994 (59 FR 39971).
        The authorized Wisconsin RCRA program was incorporated by reference 
    into the CFR effective April 24, 1989 (54 FR 7422), May 29, 1990 (55 FR 
    11910), and November 22, 1993 (58 FR 49199).
        On May 7, 1999, Wisconsin submitted a final complete program 
    revision application, seeking authorization of its program revision in 
    accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. The EPA reviewed Wisconsin's 
    application, and now makes an immediate final decision, subject to 
    receipt of adverse written comment, that Wisconsin's hazardous waste 
    program revision satisfies all of the requirements necessary to qualify 
    for Final Authorization. Consequently, EPA intends to grant Wisconsin 
    Final Authorization for the program modifications contained in the 
    revision.
        The public may submit written comments on EPA's immediate final 
    decision until September 7, 1999. Copies of Wisconsin's application for 
    program revision are available for inspection and copying at the 
    locations indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
        If EPA does not receive adverse written comment pertaining to
    
    [[Page 42603]]
    
    Wisconsin's program revision by the end of the comment period, the 
    authorization of Wisconsin's revision will become effective October 4, 
    1999. If the Agency does receive adverse written comment, it will 
    publish a document withdrawing this immediate final rule before its 
    effective date. EPA will then address the comments in a later final 
    rule based on the companion document appearing in the Proposed Rules 
    section of today's Federal Register. EPA may not provide additional 
    opportunity for comment. Any parties interested in commenting should do 
    so at this time.
        On October 4, 1999, (unless EPA publishes a prior FR action 
    withdrawing this immediate final rule), Wisconsin will be authorized to 
    carry out, in lieu of the Federal program, those provisions of the 
    State's program which are analogous to the following provisions of the 
    Federal program:

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     \1\ The Wisconsin provisions are from the Wisconsin Statutes and Annotations 1995-96, and the Wisconsin
      Administrative Code, Register, May, 1995, No. 473.
    
        EPA shall administer any RCRA hazardous waste permits, or portions 
    of permits, that contain conditions based upon the federal program 
    provisions for which the State is applying for authorization, and which 
    were issued by EPA prior to the effective date of this authorization. 
    EPA has previously suspended issuance of permits for the other 
    provisions on January 31, 1986, June 6, 1986, January 22, 1990, April 
    24, 1992, August 2, 1993, and October 4, 1994, the effective dates of 
    Wisconsin's final authorization for the RCRA program revisions.
        Wisconsin is not authorized to operate the Federal program in 
    Indian country. This authority remains with EPA unless provided 
    otherwise in a future statute or regulation.
    
    C. Decision
    
        I conclude that Wisconsin's application for program revision 
    authorization meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements 
    established by RCRA. Accordingly, EPA grants Wisconsin Final 
    Authorization to operate its hazardous waste program as revised. 
    Wisconsin now has responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, and 
    disposal facilities 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 HSWA. 
    Wisconsin also has primary enforcement responsibilities, although EPA 
    retains the right to conduct inspections under section 3007 of RCRA, 
    and to take enforcement actions under sections 3008, 3013 and 7003 of 
    RCRA.
    
    D. Codification in Part 272
    
        The EPA uses 40 CFR part 272 for codification of the decision to 
    authorize Wisconsin's program and for incorporation by reference of 
    those provisions of its statutes and regulations that EPA will enforce 
    under sections 3008, 3013 and 7003 of RCRA. EPA reserves amendment of 
    40 CFR part 272, subpart YY until a later date.
    
    Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
    
        Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public 
    Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the 
    effects of certain regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal 
    governments and the private sector. Under sections 202 and 205 of the 
    UMRA, EPA generally must prepare a written statement of economic and 
    regulatory alternatives analyses for
    
    [[Page 42609]]
    
    proposed and final rules with Federal mandates, as defined by the UMRA, 
    that may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal 
    governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 
    million or more in any one year.
        EPA has determined that section 202 and 205 requirements do not 
    apply to today's action because this rule does not contain a Federal 
    mandate that may result in annual expenditures of $100 million or more 
    for State, local, and/or tribal governments in the aggregate, or the 
    private sector. Costs to State, local and/or tribal governments already 
    exist under the Wisconsin program, and today's action does not impose 
    any additional obligations on regulated entities. In fact, EPA's 
    approval of State programs generally may reduce, not increase, 
    compliance costs for the private sector. Further, as it applies to the 
    State, this action does not impose a Federal intergovernmental mandate 
    because UMRA does not include duties arising from participation in a 
    voluntary federal program.
        The requirements of section 203 of UMRA also do not apply to 
    today's action. Before EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that 
    may significantly or uniquely affect small governments, including 
    tribal governments, section 203 of the UMRA requires EPA to develop a 
    small government agency plan. This rule contains no regulatory 
    requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small 
    governments. Although small governments may be hazardous waste 
    generators, transporters, or own and/or operate TSDFs, they are already 
    subject to the regulatory requirements under the existing State laws 
    that are being authorized by EPA, and, thus, are not subject to any 
    additional significant or unique requirements by virtue of this program 
    approval.
    
    Certification Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., 
    as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 
    1996), whenever an agency is required to publish a notice of rulemaking 
    for any proposed or final rule, it must prepare and make available for 
    public comment a regulatory flexibility analysis that describes the 
    effect of the rule on small entities (i.e., small businesses, small 
    organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions). This analysis is 
    unnecessary, however, if the agency's administrator certifies that the 
    rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
    number of small entities.
        The EPA has determined that this authorization will not have a 
    significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
    Such small entities which are hazardous waste generators, transporters, 
    or which own and/or operate TSDFs are already subject to the regulatory 
    requirements under the existing State laws that are now being 
    authorized by EPA. The EPA's authorization does not impose any 
    significant additional burdens on these small entities. This is because 
    EPA's authorization would simply result in an administrative change, 
    rather than a change in the substantive requirements imposed on these 
    small entities.
        Pursuant to the provision at 5 U.S.C. 605(b), the Agency hereby 
    certifies that this authorization will not have a significant economic 
    impact on a substantial number of small entities. This authorization 
    approves regulatory requirements under existing State law to which 
    small entities are already subject. It does not impose any new burdens 
    on small entities. This rule, therefore, does not require a regulatory 
    flexibility analysis.
    
    Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
    
        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. The EPA will submit 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 United States prior 
    to publication of the rule in today's Federal Register. This rule is 
    not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    
    Compliance With Executive Order 12866
    
        The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the 
    requirements of Executive Order 12866.
    
    Compliance With Executive Order 12875
    
        Under Executive Order 12875, EPA may not issue a regulation that is 
    not required by statute and that creates a mandate upon a State, local 
    or tribal government, unless the Federal government provides the funds 
    necessary to pay the direct compliance costs incurred by those 
    governments. If the mandate is unfunded, EPA must provide to the Office 
    of Management and Budget a description of the extent of EPA's prior 
    consultation with representatives of affected State, local and tribal 
    governments, the nature of their concerns, copies of any written 
    communications from the governments, and a statement supporting the 
    need to issue the regulation. In addition, Executive Order 12875 
    requires EPA to develop an effective process permitting elected 
    officials and other representatives of State, local and tribal 
    governments ``to provide meaningful and timely input in the development 
    of regulatory proposals containing significant unfunded mandates.''
        This rule does not create a mandate on State, local or tribal 
    governments. The rule does not impose any enforceable duties on these 
    entities. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1(a) of Executive 
    Order 12875 do not apply to this rule.
    
    Compliance With Executive Order 13045
    
        Executive Order 13045, ``Protection of Children from Environmental 
    Health Risks and Safety Risks,'' applies to any rule that: (1) the 
    Office of Management and Budget determines is ``economically 
    significant'' as defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns 
    an environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe 
    may have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory 
    action meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental 
    health or safety effects of the planned rule on children and explain 
    why the planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective 
    and reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
        This rule is not subject to E.O. 13045 because it is not an 
    economically significant rule as defined by E.O. 12866, and because it 
    does not involve decisions based on environmental health or safety 
    risks.
    
    Compliance With Executive Order 13084
    
        Under Executive Order 13084, EPA may not issue a regulation that is 
    not required by statute, that significantly or uniquely affects the 
    communities of Indian tribal governments, and that imposes substantial 
    direct compliance costs on those communities, unless the Federal 
    government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance 
    costs incurred by the tribal governments, or EPA provides to the Office 
    of Management and Budget a description of the prior consultation and 
    communications the agency has had
    
    [[Page 42610]]
    
    with representatives of tribal governments and a statement supporting 
    the need to issue the regulation. In addition, Executive Order 13084 
    requires EPA to develop an effective process permitting elected and 
    other representatives of Indian tribal governments to provide 
    meaningful and timely input in the development of regulatory policies 
    on matters that significantly or uniquely affect their communities.
        This rule is not subject to E.O. 13084 because it does not 
    significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Indian tribal 
    governments. Wisconsin is not authorized to implement the RCRA 
    hazardous waste program in Indian country. This action has no effect on 
    the hazardous waste program that EPA implements in the Indian country 
    within the State.
    
    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 rule or a final rule. This rule will 
    not impose any information requirements upon the regulated community.
    
    National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
    
        Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
    Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Pub. L. 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 
    note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its 
    regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with 
    applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards 
    are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, 
    sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or 
    adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA 
    to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides 
    not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
        This action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA 
    did not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards.
