Kumar, Chief, RCRA Enforcement and Compliance Branch, Mail Code: 4WD–RCRA, U.S. EPA, Region 4, Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303. The submission is due no later than 60 days after taking each annual verification samples in accordance with delisting Conditions (1) through (7). Records of analytical data from Condition (2) must be compiled, summarized, and maintained by Nissan for a minimum of three years, and must be furnished upon request by EPA or the State of Tennessee, and made available for inspection. Failure to submit the required data within the specified time period or maintain the required records for the specified time will be considered by EPA, at its discretion, sufficient basis to revoke the exclusion to the extent directed by EPA. All data must be accompanied by a signed copy of the certification statement in 40 CFR 260.22(i)(12). (6) Reopener Language: (A) If, at any time after disposal of the delisted waste, Nissan possesses or is otherwise made aware of any environmental data (including but not limited to leachate data or groundwater monitoring data) or any other data relevant to the delisted waste indicating that any constituent identified in the delisting verification testing is at a level higher than the delisting level allowed by EPA in granting the petition, Nissan must report the data, in writing, to EPA and Tennessee within 10 days of first possessing or being made aware of that data. (B) If the testing of the waste, as required by Condition (2), does not meet the delisting requirements of Condition (1), Nissan must report the data, in writing, to EPA and Tennessee within 10 days of first possessing or being made aware of that data. (C) Based on the information described in paragraphs (6)(A) or (6)(B) and any other information received from any source, EPA will make a preliminary determination as to whether the reported information requires that EPA take action to protect human health or the environment. Further action may include suspending or revoking the exclusion, or other appropriate response necessary to protect human health and the environment. (D) If EPA determines that the reported information does require Agency action, EPA will notify the facility in writing of the action believed necessary to protect human health and the environment. The notice shall include a statement of the proposed action and a statement providing Nissan with an opportunity to present information as to why the proposed action is not necessary. Nissan shall have 10 days from the date of EPA’s notice to present such information. (E) Following the receipt of information from Nissan, as described in paragraph (6)(D), or if no such information is received within 10 days, EPA will issue a final written determination describing the Agency actions that are necessary to protect human health or the environment, given the information received in accordance with paragraphs (6)(A) or (6)(B). Any required action described in EPA’s determination shall become effective immediately, unless EPA provides otherwise. (7) Notification Requirements: Nissan must provide a one-time written notification to any State Regulatory Agency in a State to which or through which the delisted waste described above will be transported, at least 60 days prior to the commencement of such activities. Failure to provide such a notification will result in a violation of the delisting conditions and a possible revocation of the decision to delist. * * * [FR Doc. 06–1790 Filed 2–24–06; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560–50–P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 271 wwhite on PROD1PC65 with RULES [EPA–R01–RCRA–2006–0062; FRL–8038–3] New Hampshire: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

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 have concluded that New Hampshire’s application to revise its authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA. Therefore, we grant New Hampshire Final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in the authorization application. New Hampshire has responsibility for permitting Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) within its borders 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 PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 implement any such requirements and prohibitions in New Hampshire, 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 New Hampshire 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. New Hampshire has enforcement responsibilities under its State hazardous waste program for violations of such program, but EPA also retains its full authority under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, which includes, among others, authority to: • Perform inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses or reports. • Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits. • Take enforcement actions. This action does not impose additional requirements on the regulated community because the regulations for which New Hampshire is being authorized by today’s action are already effective under state law, 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 adverse 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 based upon this proposed rule that also appears in today’s Federal Register. You may not have another opportunity to comment. If you want to comment on this authorization, you should do so at this time. If we receive adverse comments that oppose only the authorization of a particular change to the State hazardous waste program, we will withdraw that E:\FR\FM\27FER1.SGM 27FER1 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2006 / Rules and Regulations 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 New Hampshire Previously Been Authorized for? The State of New Hampshire initially received Final authorization on December 18, 1984, with an effective date of January 3, 1985 (49 FR 49093) to implement the RCRA hazardous waste management program. Subsequent statutory changes and significant revisions to the New Hampshire Hazardous Waste Management Regulations resulted in New Hampshire’s submission of a program revision application for certain changes. The Region published an immediate final rule for these changes and revisions on November 14, 1994 (59 FR 56397) with an effective date of January 13, 1995. G. What Changes Are We Authorizing With Today’s Action? On August 31, 2005, New Hampshire submitted a final complete program revision application, seeking authorization for their changes in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. In particular, New Hampshire is seeking authorization for updated state wwhite on PROD1PC65 with RULES 124.5(d) ............................................................................................. 124.6(d)(1)–(3) .................................................................................. 124.6(d)(4) ......................................................................................... 124.10(c)(1) ....................................................................................... 124.12(a)(2) .......................................................................................

Env-Wm 110.01(a) & (c)(9), (37), (62), (74), (98), (130), (142), (143) & (145)—NH has added additional wastes to the definition of ‘‘universal waste’’. Env-Wm 210.01. N/A—NH does not exempt very small quantity generators (generators of less than 100 kgs/mo). NH has not deleted its exemption from its hazardous waste rules for batteries at Env-Wm 802.02(a)(2), which is comparable to the prior but now deleted federal exemption. This is acceptable because NH currently nevertheless regulates batteries under its universal waste rule. At present, NH defines ‘‘hazardous waste rules’’ as those covering its hazardous waste through Env-Wm 1000 which does not include the Env-Wm 1100 universal waste rule regulations. For clarity, NH plans to remove the Env-Wm 802.02(a)(2) exemption in a future State rulemaking, while simultaneously adding Env-1100 to its definition of ‘‘hazardous waste rules.’’ Env-Wm 110.01(c)(142), 351.03(i), 501.02(e), 601.02(d), 701.02(a)(13), 1101.01, 1101.02(a) & (c)—NH has added other waste to the definition of ‘‘universal waste’’.

Env-Wm 502.01 & 1102.01—NH did not adopt an analog to 40 CFR 262.11(d) since that section contains a cross reference to other requirements and NH has those other requirements.

Note: In addition to the regulations listed in the tables above, there are various previously authorized state base program regulations to which the state has made minor changes and additions. The EPA is also proposing to authorize these minor changes. The final authorization of new state regulations and regulation changes is in addition to the previous authorization of state regulations, which remain part of the authorized program. The New Hampshire Base Program regulations previously authorized were scheduled to sunset in June 1991 as mandated by State Statute RSA 541– A:17 and were readopted in January 24, 1991. The New Hampshire Hazardous Waste Rules were readopted August 24, 1996 and were amended, effective November 26, 1996, January 7, 2000, February 26, 2000, and July 7, 2000, then re-adopted with amendments, effective August 1, 2000. Subsequent to the 2000 rule re-adoption, the rules were amended, effective October 13, 2001, including the adoption of a new rule chapter, Env-Wm 1100, Requirements for Universal Waste Management. The base program regulations have remained federally authorized notwithstanding their readoptions. The federally authorized program will be those readopted state regulations along with the changes authorized in 1994 and the changes being authorized today. wwhite on PROD1PC65 with RULES 9735 H. Where Are the Revised State Rules Different From the Federal Rules? The most significant differences between the proposed State rules and the Federal rules are summarized below. It should be noted that this summary does not describe every difference, or every detail regarding the differences that are described. Members of the regulated community are advised to read the complete regulations to ensure VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:43 Feb 24, 2006 Jkt 208001 that they understand all of the requirements with which they will need to comply. 1. More Stringent Provisions There are aspects of the New Hampshire program which are more stringent than the Federal program. All of these more stringent requirements are, or will become, part of the federally enforceable RCRA program when authorized by the EPA and must be complied with in addition to the State requirements which track the minimum Federal requirements. These more stringent requirements include the following, which are more fully described in the Program Description: a. New Hampshire requires that a universal waste handler notifies as a very large quantity handler if 20,000 kgs or more is accumulated and that they meet the additional requirements in Env-Wm 1105. This category is in addition to the Federal large quantity generator and small quantity generator categories. b. New Hampshire’s universal waste rule has additional storage requirements for pesticides. c. New Hampshire allows Full Quantity Generators to accumulate F006 waste that meets certain conditions for more than 90 days (see Env-Wm 507.02(c)). However, New Hampshire’s exemption is more stringent than the analogous federal one in that even generators of between 100 and 1000 kgs may only accumulate this waste for up to 180 days instead of 270 days. (New Hampshire has not adopted rules equivalent to 40 CFR 262.34(h) and (i).) 2. Different but Equivalent Provisions New Hampshire also has some regulations which differ from, but have been determined to be equivalent to, the PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Federal regulations. These State regulations will become part of the Federally enforceable RCRA program when authorized by the EPA. These different but equivalent requirements include the following: a. New Hampshire’s definition of ‘‘universal waste’’ includes all the federal universal wastes, and also includes: all mercury containing devices (not just thermostats); motor vehicle antifreeze; and cathode ray tubes. 3. Broader in Scope There are also aspects of the New Hampshire program which are broader in scope than the Federal program. The State requirements which are broader in scope are not considered to be part of the federally enforceable RCRA program. However, they are fully enforceable under State law and must be complied with by sources in New Hampshire. These broader in scope requirements include the following: a. New Hampshire has adopted a manufactured gas plant waste exemption that is narrower than the Federal exemption to the toxicity characteristic at 40 CFR 261.24(a) and thus has a program that is partially broader in scope by including some wastes that the Federal government would exempt. The New Hampshire exemption is limited to manufactured gas plant contaminated media and debris that are characteristic for benzene only and are treated in an incinerator or thermal desorption unit. I. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect? New Hampshire will issue permits for all the provisions for which it is authorized and will administer the permits it issues. EPA will continue to administer and enforce any RCRA and E:\FR\FM\27FER1.SGM 27FER1 9736 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2006 / Rules and Regulations HSWA (Hazardous and Solid Waste Act) permits or portions of permits which it has issued in New Hampshire prior to the effective date of this authorization until the State incorporates the terms and conditions of the Federal permits into the State RCRA permits. EPA 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 any HSWA requirements for which New Hampshire is not yet authorized. wwhite on PROD1PC65 with RULES J. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying New Hampshire’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 EE for this authorization of New Hampshire’s program until a later date. K. 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); 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 or 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:43 Feb 24, 2006 Jkt 208001 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 actions under Executive Order 12866. Under RCRA 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 note) 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 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 PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Register. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This action nevertheless will be effective 60 days after it is published, because it is an immediate final rule.

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 have concluded that New Hampshire's application to revise its 
authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory 
requirements established by RCRA. Therefore, we grant New Hampshire 
Final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the 
changes described in the authorization application. New Hampshire has 
responsibility for permitting Treatment, Storage, and Disposal 
Facilities (TSDFs) within its borders 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 any such requirements and 
prohibitions in New Hampshire, 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 New Hampshire 
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. New Hampshire has enforcement responsibilities under 
its State hazardous waste program for violations of such program, but 
EPA also retains its full authority under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 
3013, and 7003, which includes, among others, authority to:
     Perform inspections, and require monitoring, tests, 
analyses or reports.
     Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits.
     Take enforcement actions.
    This action does not impose additional requirements on the 
regulated community because the regulations for which New Hampshire is 
being authorized by today's action are already effective under state 
law, 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 adverse 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 based upon this proposed rule that also 
appears in today's Federal Register. You may not have another 
opportunity to comment. If you want to comment on this authorization, 
you should do so at this time.
    If we receive adverse comments that oppose only the authorization 
of a particular change to the State hazardous waste program, we will 
withdraw that

[[Page 9729]]

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 New Hampshire Previously Been Authorized for?

    The State of New Hampshire initially received Final authorization 
on December 18, 1984, with an effective date of January 3, 1985 (49 FR 
49093) to implement the RCRA hazardous waste management program. 
Subsequent statutory changes and significant revisions to the New 
Hampshire Hazardous Waste Management Regulations resulted in New 
Hampshire's submission of a program revision application for certain 
changes. The Region published an immediate final rule for these changes 
and revisions on November 14, 1994 (59 FR 56397) with an effective date 
of January 13, 1995.

G. What Changes Are We Authorizing With Today's Action?

    On August 31, 2005, New Hampshire submitted a final complete 
program revision application, seeking authorization for their changes 
in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. In particular, New Hampshire is 
seeking authorization for updated state regulations addressing most 
federal requirements through June 30, 2002 and also for changes to New 
Hampshire's base program for which they had been previously authorized. 
Significant program revisions in this package include the Universal 
Waste and the Toxicity Characteristic (TC) Rules.
    We are now making an immediate final decision, subject to 
reconsideration only if we receive written comments that oppose this 
action, that New Hampshire's hazardous waste program revisions satisfy 
all of the requirements necessary to qualify for Final authorization. 
Therefore, we grant New Hampshire Final authorization for the following 
program changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ State of New Hampshire's Hazardous Waste Rules, effective August 1,
  2000 as amended on October 13, 2001.


    Note: In addition to the regulations listed in the tables above, 
there are various previously authorized state base program 
regulations to which the state has made minor changes and additions. 
The EPA is also proposing to authorize these minor changes. The 
final authorization of new state regulations and regulation changes 
is in addition to the previous authorization of state regulations, 
which remain part of the authorized program.

    The New Hampshire Base Program regulations previously authorized 
were scheduled to sunset in June 1991 as mandated by State Statute RSA 
541-A:17 and were readopted in January 24, 1991. The New Hampshire 
Hazardous Waste Rules were readopted August 24, 1996 and were amended, 
effective November 26, 1996, January 7, 2000, February 26, 2000, and 
July 7, 2000, then re-adopted with amendments, effective August 1, 
2000. Subsequent to the 2000 rule re-adoption, the rules were amended, 
effective October 13, 2001, including the adoption of a new rule 
chapter, Env-Wm 1100, Requirements for Universal Waste Management. The 
base program regulations have remained federally authorized 
notwithstanding their readoptions. The federally authorized program 
will be those readopted state regulations along with the changes 
authorized in 1994 and the changes being authorized today.

H. Where Are the Revised State Rules Different From the Federal Rules?

    The most significant differences between the proposed State rules 
and the Federal rules are summarized below. It should be noted that 
this summary does not describe every difference, or every detail 
regarding the differences that are described. Members of the regulated 
community are advised to read the complete regulations to ensure that 
they understand all of the requirements with which they will need to 
comply.

1. More Stringent Provisions

    There are aspects of the New Hampshire program which are more 
stringent than the Federal program. All of these more stringent 
requirements are, or will become, part of the federally enforceable 
RCRA program when authorized by the EPA and must be complied with in 
addition to the State requirements which track the minimum Federal 
requirements. These more stringent requirements include the following, 
which are more fully described in the Program Description:
    a. New Hampshire requires that a universal waste handler notifies 
as a very large quantity handler if 20,000 kgs or more is accumulated 
and that they meet the additional requirements in Env-Wm 1105. This 
category is in addition to the Federal large quantity generator and 
small quantity generator categories.
    b. New Hampshire's universal waste rule has additional storage 
requirements for pesticides.
    c. New Hampshire allows Full Quantity Generators to accumulate F006 
waste that meets certain conditions for more than 90 days (see Env-Wm 
507.02(c)). However, New Hampshire's exemption is more stringent than 
the analogous federal one in that even generators of between 100 and 
1000 kgs may only accumulate this waste for up to 180 days instead of 
270 days. (New Hampshire has not adopted rules equivalent to 40 CFR 
262.34(h) and (i).)

2. Different but Equivalent Provisions

    New Hampshire also has some regulations which differ from, but have 
been determined to be equivalent to, the Federal regulations. These 
State regulations will become part of the Federally enforceable RCRA 
program when authorized by the EPA. These different but equivalent 
requirements include the following:
    a. New Hampshire's definition of ``universal waste'' includes all 
the federal universal wastes, and also includes: all mercury containing 
devices (not just thermostats); motor vehicle antifreeze; and cathode 
ray tubes.

3. Broader in Scope

    There are also aspects of the New Hampshire program which are 
broader in scope than the Federal program. The State requirements which 
are broader in scope are not considered to be part of the federally 
enforceable RCRA program. However, they are fully enforceable under 
State law and must be complied with by sources in New Hampshire. These 
broader in scope requirements include the following:
    a. New Hampshire has adopted a manufactured gas plant waste 
exemption that is narrower than the Federal exemption to the toxicity 
characteristic at 40 CFR 261.24(a) and thus has a program that is 
partially broader in scope by including some wastes that the Federal 
government would exempt. The New Hampshire exemption is limited to 
manufactured gas plant contaminated media and debris that are 
characteristic for benzene only and are treated in an incinerator or 
thermal desorption unit.

I. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?

    New Hampshire will issue permits for all the provisions for which 
it is authorized and will administer the permits it issues. EPA will 
continue to administer and enforce any RCRA and

[[Page 9736]]

HSWA (Hazardous and Solid Waste Act) permits or portions of permits 
which it has issued in New Hampshire prior to the effective date of 
this authorization until the State incorporates the terms and 
conditions of the Federal permits into the State RCRA permits. EPA 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 any 
HSWA requirements for which New Hampshire is not yet authorized.

J. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying New Hampshire'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 EE for this authorization of New 
Hampshire's program until a later date.

K. 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); 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 
or 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 actions under Executive Order 12866.
    Under RCRA 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 note) 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 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 nevertheless will be effective 60 days after it is published, 
because it is an immediate final rule.
