ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The EPA (also, ‘‘the Agency’’ or ‘‘we’’ in this preamble) is proposing to grant a petition to exclude or ‘‘delist’’ wastewater treatment sludge from conversion coating on aluminum generated by the General Motors Corporation (GM) Janesville Truck Assembly Plant (JTAP) in Janesville, Wisconsin from the requirements of hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This proposed exclusion, if finalized, conditionally excludes the petitioned waste from the requirements of hazardous waste regulations under RCRA. This petition was evaluated in a manner similar to the expedited process developed as a special project in conjunction with the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) for delisting similar wastes generated by a similar manufacturing process. Based on an evaluation of waste-specific information provided by GM, we have tentatively concluded that the petitioned waste from JTAP is nonhazardous with respect to the original listing criteria and that there are no other factors which would cause the waste to be hazardous. This exclusion, if finalized, would be valid only when the sludge is disposed of in a Subtitle D landfill which is permitted, licensed, or registered by a State to manage industrial solid waste. DATES: We will accept public comments on this proposed rule until June 9, 2005. ADDRESSES: Please send two copies of your comments to Judy Kleiman, Waste Management Branch (DW–8J), Environmental Protection Agency, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Illinois VerDate jul<14>2003 15:22 Apr 22, 2005 Jkt 205001 21165 60604. We will stamp comments postmarked after the close of the comment period as ‘‘late.’’ These ‘‘late’’ comments may not be considered in formulating a final decision. Any person may request a hearing on this proposed decision by filing a request with Margaret Guerriero, Director, Waste, Pesticides and Toxics Division, Environmental Protection Agency, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Illinois 60604. Your request for a hearing must reach EPA by May 10, 2005. The request must contain the information prescribed in Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR) 260.20(d). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The RCRA regulatory docket for this proposed rule, number R5–GMJA–04, is located at EPA Region 5, 77 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60604, and is available for viewing from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. The public may copy material from the regulatory docket at $0.15 per page. For further technical information concerning this document or for appointments to view the docket, contact Judy Kleiman at the address above, by calling 312–886–1482 or by email at kleiman.judy@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information in this section is organized as follows: EPA listed the waste as set forth in 40 CFR 261.11 and the background document for the waste. In addition, a petitioner must demonstrate that the waste does not exhibit any of the hazardous waste characteristics (that is, ignitability, reactivity, corrosivity, and toxicity) and must present sufficient information for us to decide whether factors other than those for which the waste was listed warrant retaining it as a hazardous waste. (See 40 CFR 260.22, 42 United States Code (U.S.C.) 6921(f) and the background document for a listed waste.) A generator remains obligated under RCRA to confirm that its waste remains nonhazardous based on the hazardous waste characteristics even if EPA has ‘‘delisted’’ the waste and to ensure that future generated waste meets the conditions set. I. Background A. What is a delisting petition? B. What regulations allow a waste to be delisted? II. GM’s Petition to Delist Waste from Janesville Truck Assembly Plant A. How is the petitioned waste generated? B. What is the process for delisting F019 from zinc phosphating operations at automobile and light truck assembly plants? C. What information did GM submit in support of its petition? III. EPA’s Evaluation of This Petition A. How did EPA evaluate the information submitted? B. What did EPA conclude about this waste? IV. Proposal to Delist Waste from Janesville Truck Assembly Plant A. What is EPA proposing? B. What are the terms of this exclusion? C. What are the maximum allowable concentrations of hazardous constituents in the waste? V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews II. GM’s Petition To Delist Waste From Janesville Truck Assembly Plant I. Background A. What Is a Delisting Petition? A delisting petition is a request from a generator to exclude waste from the list of hazardous wastes under RCRA regulations. In a delisting petition, the petitioner must show that waste generated at a particular facility does not meet any of the criteria for which PO 00000 Frm 00003 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 B. What Regulations Allow a Waste To Be Delisted? Under 40 CFR 260.20, 260.22, and 42 U.S.C. 6921(f), a facility may petition the EPA to remove its waste from the lists of hazardous wastes contained in 40 CFR 261.31 and 261.32. Specifically, 40 CFR 260.20 allows any person to petition the Administrator to modify or revoke any provision of parts 260 through 266, 268, and 273 of 40 CFR. A. How Is the Petitioned Wasted Generated? GM is petitioning to exclude wastewater treatment sludge resulting from a conversion coating process on truck bodies which have aluminum components. The truck bodies are immersed in a zinc phosphate bath which applies a conversion coating on the surface of the metal. The rinses and overflows from the conversion coating process comingle with wastewaters from cleaning and rinsing operations which may include alkaline cleaners, surfactants, organic detergents and rinse conditioners. After the zinc phosphating bath, the truck bodies are subjected to an electrocoating process and spray painting. Overflows and rinse water from the electrocoating process and from the paint booths combine with the wastewater from the conversion coating before entering the wastewater treatment plant. When treated, the wastewater from the conversion coating on aluminum causes all the sludge generated from these wastewaters to be a listed waste, F019. In the wastewater treatment plant, large particles are screened out and the wastewater is sent to various thickeners E:\FR\FM\25APP1.SGM 25APP1
