SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background On March 22, 2004, EPA issued a final rule amending the municipal solid waste landfill criteria in 40 CFR part 258 to allow for research, development and demonstration (RD&D) permits. (69 FR 13242). This rule allows for variances from specified criteria for a limited period of time, to be implemented through state-issued RD&D permits. RD&D permits are only available in states with approved MSWLF permit programs which have been modified to incorporate RD&D permit authority. While States are not required to seek approval for this new provision, those States that are interested in providing RD&D permits to owners and operators of MSWLFs must seek approval from EPA before issuing such permits. Approval procedures for new provisions of 40 CFR Part 258 are outlined in 40 CFR 239.12. Indiana’s MSWLF permit program was approved on October 8, 1996 (61 FR 52791). On May 11, 2005, Indiana applied for approval of its RD&D permit provisions. Indiana submitted its rules under 329 IAC 10–11–6.5 for review. B. Decision After a thorough review, EPA Region 5 is proposing that Indiana’s RD&D permit provisions as defined under Indiana rule 329 IAC 10–11–6.5 are VerDate jul<14>2003 23:06 Jul 25, 2005 Jkt 205001 adequate to ensure compliance with the Federal criteria as defined at 40 CFR 258.4. C. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This action proposes to approve state solid waste requirements pursuant to RCRA Section 4005 and imposes no federal requirements. Therefore, this proposed rule complies with applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as follows: 1. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning Review—The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this proposed action from its review under Executive Order (EO) 12866; 2. Paperwork Reduction Act—This proposed action does not impose an information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act; 3. Regulatory Flexibility Act—After considering the economic impacts of today’s proposed action on small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that this proposed action would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities; 4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act— Because this action proposes to approve pre-existing requirements under state law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, this action does not contain any unfunded mandate, or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Act; 5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism—EO 13132 does not apply to this proposed action because this proposed action will not have federalism implications (i.e., there are no substantial direct effects on states, on the relationship between the national government and states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between federal and state governments); 6.

Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental Health & Safety Risks—This proposed action is not subject to EO 13045 because it is not economically significant and is not based on health or safety risks; 8.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    On March 22, 2004, EPA issued a final rule amending the municipal 
solid waste landfill criteria in 40 CFR part 258 to allow for research, 
development and demonstration (RD&D) permits. (69 FR 13242). This rule 
allows for variances from specified criteria for a limited period of 
time, to be implemented through state-issued RD&D permits. RD&D permits 
are only available in states with approved MSWLF permit programs which 
have been modified to incorporate RD&D permit authority. While States 
are not required to seek approval for this new provision, those States 
that are interested in providing RD&D permits to owners and operators 
of MSWLFs must seek approval from EPA before issuing such permits. 
Approval procedures for new provisions of 40 CFR Part 258 are outlined 
in 40 CFR 239.12.
    Indiana's MSWLF permit program was approved on October 8, 1996 (61 
FR 52791). On May 11, 2005, Indiana applied for approval of its RD&D 
permit provisions. Indiana submitted its rules under 329 IAC 10-11-6.5 
for review.

B. Decision

    After a thorough review, EPA Region 5 is proposing that Indiana's 
RD&D permit provisions as defined under Indiana rule 329 IAC 10-11-6.5 
are adequate to ensure compliance with the Federal criteria as defined 
at 40 CFR 258.4.

C. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action proposes to approve state solid waste requirements 
pursuant to RCRA Section 4005 and imposes no federal requirements. 
Therefore, this proposed rule complies with applicable executive orders 
and statutory provisions as follows: 1. Executive Order 12866: 
Regulatory Planning Review--The Office of Management and Budget has 
exempted this proposed action from its review under Executive Order 
(EO) 12866; 2. Paperwork Reduction Act--This proposed action does not 
impose an information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction 
Act; 3. Regulatory Flexibility Act--After considering the economic 
impacts of today's proposed action on small entities under the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that this proposed action would 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities; 4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act--Because this action proposes 
to approve pre-existing requirements under state law and does not 
impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state 
law, this action does not contain any unfunded mandate, or 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the 
Unfunded Mandates Act; 5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism--EO 13132 
does not apply to this proposed action because this proposed action 
will not have federalism implications (i.e., there are no substantial 
direct effects on states, on the relationship between the national 
government and states, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities between federal and state governments); 6. Executive 
Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal 
Governments--EO 13175 does not apply to this proposed action because it 
will not have tribal implications (i.e., there are no substantial 
direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship 
between the federal government and Indian tribes, or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities between the federal 
government and Indian tribes). 7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 
Children from Environmental Health & Safety Risks--This proposed action 
is not subject to EO 13045 because it is not economically significant 
and is not based on health or safety risks; 8. Executive Order 13211: 
Actions that Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use--
This proposed action is not subject to EO 13211 because it is not a 
significant regulatory action as defined in EO 12866; 9. National 
Technology Transfer Advancement Act--This provision 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. This proposed action does not involve technical 
standards. Therefore, EPA did not consider the use of any voluntary 
consensus standards.
