<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 26 / Wednesday, February 9, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
Section 551.8 sets forth the Postal
Service’s policy to recover from the
differential those costs determined to be
attributable to the semipostal and that
would not normally be incurred for
commemorative stamps having similar
sales objectives; physical characteristics;
and marketing, promotional, and public
relations activities. Under current
regulations published in 39 CFR 551.8:
(e) Cost items recoverable from the
differential revenue may include, but are not
limited to, the following:
(1) Packaging costs in excess of the cost to
package comparable stamps;
(2) Printing costs of flyers and special
receipts;
(3) Costs of changes to equipment;
(4) Costs of developing and executing
marketing and promotional plans in excess of
the cost for comparable stamps;
(5) Other costs specific to the semipostal
stamp that would not normally have been
incurred for comparable stamps; and
(6) Costs in paragraph (g) of this section
that materially exceed those that would
normally have been incurred for comparable
stamps.
The final rule deletes the word ‘‘may’’
from the introductory paragraph to
subsection (e) of 39 CFR 551.8. The
deletion of the word ‘‘may’’ clarifies that
costs that are recovered from the
differential include, but are not limited
to, packaging costs in excess of those for
comparable stamps, printing costs for
flyers or special receipts, costs of
changes to equipment, costs of
developing and executing marketing
and promotional plans in excess of
those for comparable stamps, and other
costs that would not normally have been
incurred for comparable stamps.

South Carolina: Final Authorization of
State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Immediate final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: South Carolina 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
determined that these changes satisfy all
requirements needed to qualify for Final
authorization, and is authorizing the
State’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 get
written comments which oppose this
authorization during the comment
period, the decision to authorize South
Carolina’s changes to their hazardous
waste program will take effect. If we get
comments that oppose this action, we
will publish a document in the Federal
Register withdrawing this rule before it
takes effect and a separate document in
the proposed rules section of this
Federal Register will serve as a proposal
to authorize the changes.
DATES: This Final authorization will
become effective on April 11, 2005,
unless EPA receives adverse written
comment by March 11, 2005. If EPA
receives such comment, it will publish
a timely withdrawal of this immediate
final rule in the Federal Register and
inform the public that this authorization
will not take effect.

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 South Carolina’s
applications to revise its authorized
program meets all of the statutory and
regulatory requirements established by
RCRA. Therefore, we grant South
Carolina Final authorization to operate
its hazardous waste program with the
changes described in the authorization
applications. South Carolina 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 South Carolina,
including issuing permits, until the
State is granted authorization to do so.
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 the State
program changes.
C. What Is the Effect of Today’s
Authorization Decision?
The effect of this decision is that a
facility in South Carolina 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. South
Carolina 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:
• Do inspections, and require
monitoring, tests, analyses or reports.
• Enforce RCRA requirements and
suspend or revoke permits.
• 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 South Carolina is
being authorized by today’s action are
already effective, and are not changed
by today’s action.
E. What Happens If EPA Receives
Comments That Oppose This Action?
If EPA receives comments that oppose
this authorization, we will withdraw
this rule by publishing a document in
the Federal Register before the rule
becomes effective. EPA will base any
further decision on the authorization of
the State program changes on the
proposal mentioned in the previous
paragraph. 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
only the authorization of a particular
change to the State 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.
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
F. What Has South Carolina Previously
Been Authorized For?

authorization on November 8, 1985,

65 FR 67068–67133, November 8, 2000 ........
G. What Changes Are We Authorizing
With Today’s Action?
On March 10, 2003 , and September
5, 2003 South Carolina submitted a final
complete program revision application,
seeking authorization of their changes in
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. South
Carolina’s provisions consists of
provisions promulgated July 1, 2000
through June 30, 2002, otherwise known
as RCRA XI and XII. The rule adoption
for the provisions of RCRA XI, and XII
covered in this action became effective
August 1, 2000. South Carolina Statues
at section 150B–21.6 and section 130A–
294 allow the South Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to administer the rules
governing hazardous waste
management. We now make an
immediate final decision, subject to
receipt of written comments that oppose
this action, that South Carolina’s
hazardous waste program revisions
satisfy all of the requirements necessary
to qualify for Final authorization.
Therefore, we grant South Carolina
Final authorization for the following
program changes:

H. Where Are the Revised State Rules
Different From the Federal Rules?
There are no State requirements that
are more stringent or broader in scope
than the Federal requirements.
I. Who Handles Permits After the
Authorization Takes Effect?
South Carolina 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. 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 South Carolina
is not yet authorized.
J. How Does Today’s Action Affect
Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 115) in South
Carolina?
South Carolina is not authorized to
carry out its hazardous waste program
in Indian country within the State,
which includes the Catawba Indian
Nation. Therefore, this action has no
effect on Indian country. EPA will
continue to implement and administer
the RCRA program in these lands.
K. What Is Codification and Is EPA
Codifying South Carolina’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

Analogous State authority
PP for this authorization of South
Carolina’s program changes until a later
date.
L. Administrative Requirements
The Office of Management and Budget
has exempted this action from the
requirements of Executive Order 12866
(58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), and
therefore this action is not subject to
review by OMB. This action authorizes
State requirements for the purpose of
RCRA 3006 and imposes no additional
requirements beyond those imposed by
State law. Accordingly, I certify that this
action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.). Because this action authorizes
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). For
the same reason, this action also does
not significantly or uniquely affect the
communities of Tribal governments, as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This
action will not have 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, as
specified in Executive Order 13132 (64
FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it
merely authorizes State requirements as
part of the State RCRA hazardous waste
program without altering the
relationship or the distribution of power
and responsibilities established by
RCRA. This action also is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,

April 23, 1997), because it is not
economically significant and it does not
make decisions based on environmental
health or safety risks. This rule is not
subject to Executive Order 13211,
‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355 (May
22, 2001)) because it is not a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866.
Under RCRA section 3006(b), EPA
grants a State’s application for
authorization as long as the State meets
the criteria required by RCRA. It would
thus be inconsistent with applicable law
for EPA, when it reviews a State
authorization application, to require the
use of any particular voluntary
consensus standard in place of another
standard that otherwise satisfies the
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 ) do not apply. 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. EPA has complied
with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR
8859, March 15, 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. 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.).

Summary of Second Report and Order
1. On February 14, 2002, the
Commission adopted a First Report and
Order implementing regulations to
permit the unlicensed operation of
ultra-wideband transmission systems. In
response to fourteen petitions for
reconsideration, a Memorandum
Opinion and Order and Further Notice
of Proposed Rule Making (‘‘MO&O and
FNPRM’’) was adopted on February 13,
2003, 69 FR 19746 and 69 FR 19773,
April 22, 2003. Specifically, the
Commission proposed amendments to
four areas of its part 15 regulations.
These amendments addressed: (1) The
operation of low PRF systems in the
3.1–10.6 GHz band; (2) the measurement
procedures applied to frequency
hopping vehicular radar systems
operating in the 22–29 GHz band; (3) the
peak power limits applicable to widebandwidth, non-UWB part 15
transmitters; and (4) the elimination of
the UWB definition.
2. Low PRF UWB systems. In the
FNPRM, the Commission invited
comment on whether to amend the rules
to permit the operation of any UWB
product under the UWB standards
currently designated for hand-held
devices as long as the PRF does not
exceed 200 kHz and the equipment
employs a pulsed or an impulse
modulation. In the 2nd R&O, the
Commission declines to amend its rules
stating that low PRF systems can have
a higher potential for causing
interference unless some type of signal
processing is incorporated in the victim
receiver. The Commission will
accommodate the requests from the
equipment developers by increasing the
peak power emission limit for select
frequency bands available under the
non-UWB part 15 regulations.
3. Non-UWB peak power emission
limits. When an average emission limit

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 271
[FRL-7870-2]
South Carolina: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Immediate final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: South Carolina 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 determined that these
changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for Final
authorization, and is authorizing the State'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 get
written comments which oppose this authorization during the comment
period, the decision to authorize South Carolina's changes to their
hazardous waste program will take effect. If we get comments that
oppose this action, we will publish a document in the Federal Register
withdrawing this rule before it takes effect and a separate document in
the proposed rules section of this Federal Register will serve as a
proposal to authorize the changes.
DATES: This Final authorization will become effective on April 11,
2005, unless EPA receives adverse written comment by March 11, 2005. If
EPA receives such comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal of this
immediate final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public that
this authorization will not take effect.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Thornell Cheeks, South Carolina
Authorizations Coordinator, RCRA Programs Branch, Waste Management
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Atlanta Federal Center,
61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, GA 30303-3104; (404) 562-8479. The
application can be viewed electronically at https://www.regulation.gov.
Electronic comments on the application can be made from this site. You
may also e-mail your comments to Cheeks.Thornell@epa.gov. You can view
and copy South Carolina's applications from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the
following addresses: South Carolina Department of Health and
Environmental Control, 2600 Bull Street, Columbia, South Carolina
29201, (803) 896-4174; and EPA Region 4, Atlanta Federal Center,
Library, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303; (404) 562-

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thornell Cheeks, South Carolina
Authorizations Coordinator, RCRA Programs Branch, Waste Management
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Atlanta Federal Center,
61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, GA 30303-3104; (404) 562-8479.
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 South Carolina's applications to revise its
authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory
requirements established by RCRA. Therefore, we grant South Carolina
Final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the
changes described in the authorization applications. South Carolina 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
[[Page 6766]]
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 South Carolina, including issuing permits, until the
State is granted authorization to do so.
C. What Is the Effect of Today's Authorization Decision?
The effect of this decision is that a facility in South Carolina
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. South Carolina 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:
Do inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses or
reports.
Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits.
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 South Carolina is
being authorized by today's action are already effective, and are not
changed by today's action.
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 the State program changes.
E. What Happens If EPA Receives Comments That Oppose This Action?
If EPA receives comments that oppose this authorization, we will
withdraw this rule by publishing a document in the Federal Register
before the rule becomes effective. EPA will base any further decision
on the authorization of the State program changes on the proposal
mentioned in the previous paragraph. 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 only the authorization of a
particular change to the State 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 South Carolina Previously Been Authorized For?
South Carolina initially received Final authorization on November
8, 1985, effective November 22, 1985 (50 FR 46437) to implement the
RCRA hazardous waste management program. We granted authorization for
changes to their program on September 8, 1988, effective November 7,
1988 (53 FR 34758), February 10, 1993, effective April 12, 1993 (58 FR
7865), November 29, 1994, effective January 30, 1995 (59 FR 60901),
April 26, 1996, effective June 25, 1996 (61 FR 18502), October 4, 2000,
effective December 4, 2000 (65 FR 59135) and August 21, 2001, effective
October 22, 2001 (66 FR 43798).
G. What Changes Are We Authorizing With Today's Action?
On March 10, 2003 , and September 5, 2003 South Carolina submitted
a final complete program revision application, seeking authorization of
their changes in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. South Carolina's
provisions consists of provisions promulgated July 1, 2000 through June
30, 2002, otherwise known as RCRA XI and XII. The rule adoption for the
provisions of RCRA XI, and XII covered in this action became effective
August 1, 2000. South Carolina Statues at section 150B-21.6 and section
130A-294 allow the South Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to administer the rules governing hazardous waste management.
We now make an immediate final decision, subject to receipt of written
comments that oppose this action, that South Carolina's hazardous waste
program revisions satisfy all of the requirements necessary to qualify
for Final authorization. Therefore, we grant South Carolina Final
authorization for the following program changes:

H. Where Are the Revised State Rules Different From the Federal Rules?
There are no State requirements that are more stringent or broader
in scope than the Federal requirements.
I. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?
South Carolina 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. 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 South Carolina is not
yet authorized.
J. How Does Today's Action Affect Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 115) in
South Carolina?
South Carolina is not authorized to carry out its hazardous waste
program in Indian country within the State, which includes the Catawba
Indian Nation. Therefore, this action has no effect on Indian country.
EPA will continue to implement and administer the RCRA program in these
lands.
K. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying South Carolina'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 PP for this authorization of South
Carolina's program changes until a later date.
L. Administrative Requirements
The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this action from
the requirements of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993), and therefore this action is not subject to review by OMB. This
action authorizes State requirements for the purpose of RCRA 3006 and
imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law.
Accordingly, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this action
authorizes 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). For the same reason, this
action also does not significantly or uniquely affect the communities
of Tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000). This action will not have 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, as specified
in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it
merely authorizes State requirements as part of the State RCRA
hazardous waste program without altering the relationship or the
distribution of power and responsibilities established by RCRA. This
action also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April
23, 1997), because it is not economically significant and it does not
make decisions based on environmental health or safety risks. This rule
is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use'' (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001)) because it is not a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
Under RCRA section 3006(b), EPA grants a State's application for
authorization as long as the State meets the criteria required by RCRA.
It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it
reviews a State authorization application, to require the use of any
particular voluntary consensus standard in place of another standard
that otherwise satisfies the 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 ) do not apply. 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. EPA has complied
with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 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.
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.).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
[[Page 6771]]
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. EPA will submit a report
containing this document 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 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 April 11, 2005.
List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 271

Hazardous waste, Indians lands, Intergovernmental relations, Penalties,
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
Authority: This action is issued under the authority of sections
