This proposed rule would facilitate the use of 500-ppm sulfur locomotive and marine (LM) diesel fuel, which contains the SY 124 marker that is already in the fuel distribution and use system consistent with EPA’s original intent. Today’s action will avoid the potential need to remove marked 500-ppm LM diesel fuel from the system for reprocessing, and the associated increased costs and potential disruption to the supply of LM diesel fuel. wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (‘‘NTTAA’’), Public Law 104–113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) 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. NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. This action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA did not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards. J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR 7629 (February 16, 1994)) establishes Federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision directs Federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income populations in the United States. EPA has determined that this proposed rule will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not affect the level of protection provided to human health or the environment. These amendments VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:01 Oct 05, 2012 Jkt 229001 would not relax the control measures on sources regulated by the RFS regulations and therefore would not cause emissions increases from these sources. We have determined that proposed amendments to the diesel transmix provisions and marker provisions for locomotive and marine diesel fuel under the diesel sulfur program would have a neutral or positive impact on diesel vehicle emissions.34 IX. Statutory Provisions and Legal Authority Statutory authority for the rule finalized today can be found in section 211 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7545. Additional support for the procedural and compliance related aspects of today’s rule, including the recordkeeping requirements, come from Sections 114, 208, and 301(a) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7414, 7542, and 7601(a).

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 request 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 made a tentative decision that Indiana’s application to revise its authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA. Therefore, we propose to grant Indiana final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in the authorization application. Indiana will have 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 Indiana, 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 tentative decision, once finalized, is that a facility in Indiana subject to RCRA would have to comply with the authorized state requirements instead of the equivalent federal requirements in order to comply with RCRA. Indiana has enforcement responsibilities under its state hazardous waste program for RCRA violations, 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; 1. enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits; and 3. take enforcement actions regardless of whether the state has taken its own actions. This action will not impose additional requirements on the regulated community because the regulations for which Indiana will be authorized are already effective, and will not be changed by EPA’s final action. D. What happens if EPA receives adverse comments on this action? If EPA receives adverse comments on this authorization, we will address all public comments in a later Federal Register.

Indiana initially received Final Authorization on January 31, 1986, effective January 31, 1986 (51 FR 3955) to implement the RCRA hazardous waste management program. We granted authorization for changes to their program on October 31, 1986, effective December 31, 1986 (51 FR 39752); January 5, 1988, effective January 19, 1988 (53 FR 128); July 13, 1989, effective September 11, 1989 (54 FR 29557); July 23, 1991, effective September 23, 1991 (56 FR 33717); July 24, 1991, effective September 23, 1991 (56 FR 33866); July 29, 1991, effective September 27, 1991 (56 FR 35831); July 30, 1991, effective September 30, 1991 (56 FR 36010); August 20, 1996, effective October 21, 1996 (61 FR 43018); September 1, 1999, effective November 30, 1999 (64 FR 47692); January 4, 2001 effective January 4, 2001 (66 FR 733); December 6, 2001 effective December 6, 2001 (66 FR 63331); October 29, 2004 (69 FR 63100) effective October 29, 2004; and November 23, 2005 (70 FR 70740) effective November 23, 2005. F. What changes are we proposing with today’s action? On March 5, 2007, May 1, 2009, and October 25, 2011, Indiana submitted final program revision applications, seeking authorization of their changes in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We have determined that Indiana’s hazardous waste program revisions satisfy all of the requirements necessary to qualify for Final Authorization. We are now proposing to authorize, subject to receipt of written comments that oppose this action, Indiana’s hazardous waste program revision. We propose to grant Indiana Final Authorization for the following program changes: Federal Register date and page (and/or RCRA statutory authority) Burning of Hazardous Wastes in Boilers and Industrial Furnaces Checklist 85.

Indiana has excluded the nondelegable federal requirements at 40 CFR 268.5, 268.6, 268.42(b), 268.44, and 270.3. EPA will continue to implement those requirements. In 329 IAC 3.1–6– 3 Indiana is more stringent in adding six hazardous wastes to the acute hazardous waste list that are not acute hazardous wastes in 40 CFR part 261. In section 3.1–9–2, Indiana maintains more stringent levels for groundwater protection for several of the constituents listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR 264.94. There are no Broader in Scope or more stringent provisions in Indiana’s rules analogous to this application. H. Who handles permits after the final authorization takes effect?

EPA will continue to implement and issue permits for HSWA requirements for which Indiana is not yet authorized. I. How does today’s action affect Indian country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in Indiana? Indiana 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 or abutting the State of Indiana; 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 retains the authority to implement and administer the RCRA program on these lands. PO 00000 61329 Frm 00027 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 J. What is codification and is EPA codifying Indiana’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. Indiana’s authorized rules, up to and including those revised January 4, 2001, have previously been codified through the incorporation-byreference effective December 24, 2001 (66 FR 53728, October 24, 2001). We reserve the amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart P for the codification of Indiana’s program changes until a later date. K. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews This proposed 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 E:\FR\FM\09OCP1.SGM 09OCP1 61330 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 9, 2012 / Proposed Rules applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as follows: 1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from its review under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821 January 21, 2011). 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 rule authorizes state requirements for the purpose of RCRA 3006 and imposes no additional requirements beyond those required 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 between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government). 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 the 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 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 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. wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS 6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments 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. 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). 12.

Indiana: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Indiana has applied to EPA for Final Authorization of the 
changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has reviewed Indiana's application with 
regards to federal requirements, and is proposing to authorize the 
state's changes.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 8, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
RCRA-2012-0377 by one of the following methods:

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 request 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 made a tentative decision that Indiana's application to 
revise its authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory 
requirements established by RCRA. Therefore, we propose to grant 
Indiana final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with 
the changes described in the authorization application. Indiana will 
have 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 Indiana, 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 tentative decision, once finalized, is that a 
facility in Indiana subject to RCRA would have to comply with the 
authorized state requirements instead of the equivalent federal 
requirements in order to comply with RCRA. Indiana has enforcement 
responsibilities under its state hazardous waste program for RCRA 
violations, 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;
    1. enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits; and
    3. take enforcement actions regardless of whether the state has 
taken its own actions.
    This action will not impose additional requirements on the 
regulated community because the regulations for which Indiana will be 
authorized are already effective, and will not be changed by EPA's 
final action.

D. What happens if EPA receives adverse comments on this action?

    If EPA receives adverse comments on this authorization, we will 
address all public comments in a later Federal Register. You may not 
have another opportunity to comment. If you want to comment on this 
authorization, you must do so at this time.

E. What has Indiana previously been authorized for?

    Indiana initially received Final Authorization on January 31, 1986, 
effective January 31, 1986 (51 FR 3955) to implement the RCRA hazardous 
waste management program. We granted authorization for changes to their 
program on October 31, 1986, effective December 31, 1986 (51 FR 39752); 
January 5, 1988, effective January 19, 1988 (53 FR 128); July 13, 1989, 
effective September 11, 1989 (54 FR 29557); July 23, 1991, effective 
September 23, 1991 (56 FR 33717); July 24, 1991, effective September 
23, 1991 (56 FR 33866); July 29, 1991, effective September 27, 1991 (56 
FR 35831); July 30, 1991, effective September 30, 1991 (56 FR 36010); 
August 20, 1996, effective October 21, 1996 (61 FR 43018); September 1, 
1999, effective November 30, 1999 (64 FR 47692); January 4, 2001 
effective January 4, 2001 (66 FR 733); December 6, 2001 effective 
December 6, 2001 (66 FR 63331); October 29, 2004 (69 FR 63100) 
effective October 29, 2004; and November 23, 2005 (70 FR 70740) 
effective November 23, 2005.

F. What changes are we proposing with today's action?

    On March 5, 2007, May 1, 2009, and October 25, 2011, Indiana 
submitted final program revision applications, seeking authorization of 
their changes in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We have determined that 
Indiana's hazardous waste program revisions satisfy all of the 
requirements necessary to qualify for Final Authorization. We are now 
proposing to authorize, subject to receipt of written comments that 
oppose this action, Indiana's hazardous waste program revision. We 
propose to grant Indiana Final Authorization for the following program 
changes:

G. Which revised State rules are different from the Federal rules?

    Indiana has excluded the non-delegable federal requirements at 40 
CFR 268.5, 268.6, 268.42(b), 268.44, and 270.3. EPA will continue to 
implement those requirements. In 329 IAC 3.1-6-3 Indiana is more 
stringent in adding six hazardous wastes to the acute hazardous waste 
list that are not acute hazardous wastes in 40 CFR part 261. In section 
3.1-9-2, Indiana maintains more stringent levels for groundwater 
protection for several of the constituents listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR 
264.94. There are no Broader in Scope or more stringent provisions in 
Indiana's rules analogous to this application.

H. Who handles permits after the final authorization takes effect?

    Indiana 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 EPA issues prior to the effective date of the proposed 
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 the 
authorization. EPA will continue to implement and issue permits for 
HSWA requirements for which Indiana is not yet authorized.

I. How does today's action affect Indian country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in 
Indiana?

    Indiana 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 or abutting the State of Indiana;
    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 retains 
the authority to implement and administer the RCRA program on these 
lands.

J. What is codification and is EPA codifying Indiana'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. Indiana's authorized 
rules, up to and including those revised January 4, 2001, have 
previously been codified through the incorporation-by-reference 
effective December 24, 2001 (66 FR 53728, October 24, 2001). We reserve 
the amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart P for the codification of 
Indiana's program changes until a later date.

K. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This proposed 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

[[Page 61330]]

applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as follows:

1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive 
Order 13563: Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from its 
review under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 
Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821 January 21, 2011).

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 rule authorizes state requirements for the purpose of RCRA 
3006 and imposes no additional requirements beyond those required 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 the 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 
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 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).
