ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: Under Clean Air Act section 112(l), EPA may approve State or local rules or programs to be implemented and enforced in place of certain otherwise applicable Federal rules, emissions standards, or requirements. EPA proposes to approve Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management’s (‘‘RI DEM’s’’) request for approval to implement and enforce Air Pollution Control Regulation Number 36, Control of Emissions from Organic Solvent Cleaning (‘‘RI Regulation No. 36’’) and Rhode Island Air Pollution Control, General Definitions Regulation (‘‘RI General Definitions Rule’’), as a partial substitution for the National Emissions Standards for Halogenated Solvent Cleaning (‘‘Halogenated Solvent NESHAP’’) as it applies to organic solvent cleaning machines in Rhode Island, except for continuous web cleaning machines. This approval would grant RI DEM the authority to implement and enforce RI Regulation No. 36 and the RI General Definitions Rule in place of the Halogenated Solvent NESHAP for organic solvent cleaning machines and would make the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management’s rules referenced above Federally enforceable. Continuous web cleaning machines would remain subject to the Halogenated Solvent NESHAP. DATES: Written comments must be received on or before July 19, 2010.

ACTION: Proposed rule. hsrobinson on DSK69SOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS-1 SUMMARY: Washington has applied to EPA for final authorization of certain changes to its hazardous waste management program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, (RCRA).

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 management 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 Title 40 of the 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 preliminarily determined that Washington’s application to revise its authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA. Therefore, we propose to grant Washington final authorization to operate its hazardous waste management program with the changes as described in its revised program application. Washington will have responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) within its borders, except in Indian country (18 U.S.C. 1151), 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, which are more stringent than existing requirements, take effect in authorized States before the State is authorized for these requirements. Thus, EPA will implement those requirements and prohibitions in Washington, including issuing permits, until the State is granted authorization to do so. C. What is the effect of this authorization decision? If Washington is authorized for these changes, a facility in Washington subject to RCRA will have to comply with the authorized State requirements instead of the corresponding Federal requirements in order to comply with RCRA. Additionally, such persons will E:\FR\FM\18JNP1.SGM 18JNP1
