<![CDATA[
17785
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 73 / Friday, April 17, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Public Law 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in an Indian
country located in the state, and EPA
notes that it will not impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal laws.
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 action 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
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).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by June 16, 2009.
Filing a petition for reconsideration by
the Administrator of this final rule does
not affect the finality of this action for
the purposes of judicial review nor does
it extend the time within which a
petition for judicial review may be filed,
and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. Parties with
objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in
response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action
published in the proposed rules section
of today’s Federal Register, rather than
file an immediate petition for judicial
review of this direct final rule, so that
EPA can withdraw this direct final rule
and address the comment in the
proposed rulemaking. This action may
not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

SUMMARY: EPA is granting Wisconsin
final authorization of the changes to its
hazardous waste program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA). The agency published a
proposed rule on November 25, 2008 at
73 FR 71583 and provided for public
comment. The public comment period
ended on December 26, 2008. We
received no comments. No further
opportunity for comment will be
provided. EPA has determined that
these changes satisfy all requirements
needed to qualify for final authorization,
and is proposing to authorize the State’s
E:\FR\FM\17APR1.SGM
17APR1
17786
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 73 / Friday, April 17, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
changes. This final rule authorizes
Wisconsin for new regulations which
they have not been previously
authorized for.
DATES: The final authorization will be
effective on April 17, 2009.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA–R05–RCRA–2008–0712. All
documents in the docket are listed in
the www.regulations.gov index.
Although listed in the index, some of
the information is not publicly
available, e.g., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, will be publicly
available only in hard copy. Publicly
available docket materials are available
either electronically at https://
www.regulations.gov or in hard copy.

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 Wisconsin’s
application to revise its authorized
program meets all of the statutory and
regulatory requirements established by
RCRA. Therefore, we are granting
Wisconsin final authorization to operate
its hazardous waste program with the
changes described in the authorization
application. Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin, including
issuing permits, until the State is
granted authorization to do so.
C. What Is the Effect of This
Authorization Decision?
The effect of this decision is that a
facility in Wisconsin 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. Wisconsin
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:
1. Do inspections, and require
monitoring, tests, analyses or reports;
2. Enforce RCRA requirements and
suspend or revoke permits;
3. 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 Wisconsin is
being authorized by today’s action are
already effective, and are not changed
by today’s action.
D. Proposed Rule
On November 25, 2008 (73 FR 71583),
EPA published a proposed rule. In that
rule we proposed granting authorization
of changes to Wisconsin’s hazardous
waste program and opened our decision
to public comment. The agency received
no comments on this proposal.
E. What Has Wisconsin Previously Been
Authorized for?
Wisconsin initially received final
authorization on January 30, 1986,
effective January 31, 1986 (51 FR 3783)
to implement the RCRA hazardous
waste management program. We granted
authorization for changes to their
program on May 23, 1989, effective June
6, 1989 (54 FR 15029), 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), on August 4, 1994, effective
October 4, 1994 (59 FR 39971), on
August 5, 1999, effective October 4,
1999 (64 FR 42630), and on June 26,
2002, effective June 26, 2002 (67 FR
43002).
F. What Changes Are We Authorizing
With This Action?
On April 29, 2008, Wisconsin
submitted a final complete program
revision application, seeking
authorization of their changes in
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We
have determined that Wisconsin’s
hazardous waste program revision
satisfies all of the requirements
necessary to qualify for final
authorization. Therefore, we are
granting Wisconsin final authorization
for the following program changes:

Permit by Rule (40 CFR 270.60).
Wisconsin does not allow automatic
authorization under the permit
modification regulations found in 40
CFR 270.42(b)(6). The 10 year Remedial
Action Plan, or RAP (40 CFR 270.79–
270.230) is replaced by a 5 year
Remediation Variance (NR 670.079) (See
66 FR 28397 (2001) for a discussion on
Wisconsin Variance authority). These
Wisconsin regulations are more
stringent: 662.220(5)(c,d),
662.220(6)(c,d,f), and 670.030(10)(i)
(annual report required instead of a
biennial report). Wisconsin maintains
different financial regulations, that
allow for additional equivalent financial
mechanisms (664.0143), do not allow
the net worth test for closure under Part
665, and maintain some more stringent
insurance requirements under

H. Who Handles Permits After the
Authorization Takes Effect?
Wisconsin 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 until they expire or are
terminated. 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 Wisconsin is
not yet authorized.

I. How Does This Action Affect Indian
Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin is not authorized to carry
out its hazardous waste program in
‘‘Indian Country,’’ as defined in 18
U.S.C. 1151. Indian Country includes:
1. All lands within the exterior
boundaries of Indian reservations
within the State of Wisconsin;
2. Any land held in trust by the U.S.
for an Indian tribe; and
3. Any other land, whether on or off
an Indian reservation that qualifies as
Indian Country.
Therefore, this action has no effect on
Indian Country. EPA will continue to
implement and administer the RCRA
program in Indian Country.
J. What Is Codification and Is EPA
Codifying Wisconsin’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. Wisconsin’s rules, up
E:\FR\FM\17APR1.SGM

17792
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 73 / Friday, April 17, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
to and including those revised June 7,
1991, as corrected August 19, 1991,
have previously been codified through
the incorporation-by-reference effective
February 4, 1992 (57 FR 4162). We
reserve the amendment of 40 CFR part
272, subpart KK for the codification of
Wisconsin’s program changes until a
later date.
K. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This final rule only authorizes
hazardous waste requirements pursuant
to RCRA 3006 and imposes no
requirements other than those imposed
by State law (see SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION, Section A. Why are
Revisions to State Programs Necessary?).
Therefore this rule complies with
applicable executive orders and
statutory provisions as follows:
1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory
Planning Review
The Office of Management and Budget
has exempted this rule from its review
under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993) and therefore
this action is not subject to review by
OMB.
2. Paperwork Reduction Act
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.).
3. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This action authorizes State
requirements for the purpose of RCRA
section 3006 and imposes no additional
requirements beyond those imposed by
State law. Accordingly, I certify that this
rule 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.).
4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Because this rule approves preexisting 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).

5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999) does not apply to this
rule because it will not have federalism
implications (i.e., substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship

the States, or on the distribution of

various levels of government).
6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000) does not apply to
this rule because it will not have tribal
implications (i.e., substantial direct
effects on one or more Indian tribes, or
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
and Safety Risks
This rule is not subject to Executive
Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997), because it is not economically
significant as defined in Executive
Order 12866 and because EPA does not
have reason to believe the
environmental health or safety risks
addressed by this action present a
disproportionate risk to children.
8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use
This rule is not subject to Executive
Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22,
2001), because it is not a significant
regulatory action as defined in
Executive Order 12866.
9. National Technology Transfer
Advancement Act
EPA approves State programs as long
as they meet criteria required by RCRA,
so it would be inconsistent with
applicable law for EPA, in its review of
a State program, to require the use of
any particular voluntary consensus
standard in place of another standard
that meets 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 to this rule.
10. Executive Order 12988
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.
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.
12. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low
Income Populations
Because this rule proposes
authorization of pre-existing State rules
and imposes no additional requirements
beyond those imposed by State law and
there are no anticipated significant
adverse human health or environmental
effects, the rule is not subject to
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994).
13. Congressional Review Act
EPA will submit a report containing
this rule and other information required
by the Congressional Review Act (5
U.S.C. 801 et seq.) to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to the 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).

Wisconsin: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is granting Wisconsin final authorization of the changes
to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA). The agency published a proposed rule on November
25, 2008 at 73 FR 71583 and provided for public comment. The public
comment period ended on December 26, 2008. We received no comments. No
further opportunity for comment will be provided. EPA has determined
that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final
authorization, and is proposing to authorize the State's
[[Page 17786]]
changes. This final rule authorizes Wisconsin for new regulations which
they have not been previously authorized for.
DATES: The final authorization will be effective on April 17, 2009.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R05-RCRA-2008-0712. All documents in the docket are listed in
the www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some of
the information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other
material, such as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only
in hard copy. Publicly available docket materials are available either
electronically at https://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy. You may
view and copy Wisconsin's application from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the
following addresses: U.S. EPA, Region 5, LR-8J, 77 West Jackson
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois, contact: Jean Gromnicki (312) 886-6162;

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 Wisconsin's application to revise its authorized
program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements
established by RCRA. Therefore, we are granting Wisconsin final
authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes
described in the authorization application. Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin, including
issuing permits, until the State is granted authorization to do so.
C. What Is the Effect of This Authorization Decision?
The effect of this decision is that a facility in Wisconsin 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. Wisconsin 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:
1. Do inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses or
reports;
2. Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits;
3. 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 Wisconsin is
being authorized by today's action are already effective, and are not
changed by today's action.
D. Proposed Rule
On November 25, 2008 (73 FR 71583), EPA published a proposed rule.
In that rule we proposed granting authorization of changes to
Wisconsin's hazardous waste program and opened our decision to public
comment. The agency received no comments on this proposal.
E. What Has Wisconsin Previously Been Authorized for?
Wisconsin initially received final authorization on January 30,
1986, effective January 31, 1986 (51 FR 3783) to implement the RCRA
hazardous waste management program. We granted authorization for
changes to their program on May 23, 1989, effective June 6, 1989 (54 FR
15029), 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), on August 4, 1994,
effective October 4, 1994 (59 FR 39971), on August 5, 1999, effective
October 4, 1999 (64 FR 42630), and on June 26, 2002, effective June 26,
2002 (67 FR 43002).
F. What Changes Are We Authorizing With This Action?
On April 29, 2008, Wisconsin submitted a final complete program
revision application, seeking authorization of their changes in
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We have determined that Wisconsin's
hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of the requirements
necessary to qualify for final authorization. Therefore, we are
granting Wisconsin final authorization for the following program
changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
G. Where Are the Revised State Rules Different From the Federal Rules?
These practices are prohibited in Wisconsin: Underground Injection
(40 CFR Part 144), and Land Treatment (40 CFR 270.20) of hazardous
waste. Wisconsin also does not provide for Permit by Rule (40 CFR
270.60). Wisconsin does not allow automatic authorization under the
permit modification regulations found in 40 CFR 270.42(b)(6). The 10
year Remedial Action Plan, or RAP (40 CFR 270.79-270.230) is replaced
by a 5 year Remediation Variance (NR 670.079) (See 66 FR 28397 (2001)
for a discussion on Wisconsin Variance authority). These Wisconsin
regulations are more stringent: 662.220(5)(c,d), 662.220(6)(c,d,f), and
670.030(10)(i) (annual report required instead of a biennial report).
Wisconsin maintains different financial regulations, that allow for
additional equivalent financial mechanisms (664.0143), do not allow the
net worth test for closure under Part 665, and maintain some more
stringent insurance requirements under 664.0143(5)(h),
664.0147(1)(a)(3), and 665.0147(1)(a)(3).
The following Wisconsin regulations have no Federal Counterpart:
666.900 through 666.910. On the converse, there are no Wisconsin
provisions for 40 CFR 268.5, 268.44 (other than 268.44(h)), and 270.3
as these are Federal non-delegable provisions.
H. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?
Wisconsin 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 until
they expire or are terminated. 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 Wisconsin
is not yet authorized.
I. How Does This Action Affect Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in
Wisconsin?
Wisconsin is not authorized to carry out its hazardous waste
program in ``Indian Country,'' as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Indian
Country includes:
1. All lands within the exterior boundaries of Indian reservations
within the State of Wisconsin;
2. Any land held in trust by the U.S. for an Indian tribe; and
3. Any other land, whether on or off an Indian reservation that
qualifies as Indian Country.
Therefore, this action has no effect on Indian Country. EPA will
continue to implement and administer the RCRA program in Indian
Country.
J. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying Wisconsin'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. Wisconsin's rules, up
[[Page 17792]]
to and including those revised June 7, 1991, as corrected August 19,
1991, have previously been codified through the incorporation-by-
reference effective February 4, 1992 (57 FR 4162). We reserve the
amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart KK for the codification of
Wisconsin's program changes until a later date.
K. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This final rule only authorizes hazardous waste requirements
pursuant to RCRA 3006 and imposes no requirements other than those
imposed by State law (see Supplementary Information, Section A. Why are
Revisions to State Programs Necessary?). Therefore this rule complies
with applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as follows:
1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory Planning Review
The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from its
review under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
therefore this action is not subject to review by OMB.
2. Paperwork Reduction Act
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.).
3. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This action authorizes State requirements for the purpose of RCRA
section 3006 and imposes no additional requirements beyond those
imposed by State law. Accordingly, I certify that this rule 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.).
4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Because this rule approves 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).
5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) does not apply
to this rule because it will not have federalism implications (i.e.,
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).
6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) does not
apply to this rule because it will not have tribal implications (i.e.,
substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, or 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 and Safety Risks
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant as defined
in Executive Order 12866 and because EPA does not have reason to
believe the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this
action present a disproportionate risk to children.
8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use
This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action as defined
in Executive Order 12866.
9. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act
EPA approves State programs as long as they meet criteria required
by RCRA, so it would be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, in
its review of a State program, to require the use of any particular
voluntary consensus standard in place of another standard that meets
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 to this rule.
10. Executive Order 12988
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.
11. Executive Order 12630: Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of
Unanticipated Takings
EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 18,
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.
12. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations
Because this rule proposes authorization of pre-existing State
rules and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by
State law and there are no anticipated significant adverse human health
or environmental effects, the rule is not subject to Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
13. Congressional Review Act
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other information
required by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) to the
U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States prior to the 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).
