(c) The Regional Administrator may
grant a non-waste determination that a
non-hazardous secondary material that
is used as a fuel, which is not managed
within the control of the generator, is
not discarded and is not a solid waste
when combusted. This responsibility
may be retained by the Assistant
Administrator for the Office of Land and
Emergency Management if combustors
are located in multiple EPA Regions and
the petitioner requests that the Assistant
Administrator process the non-waste
determination petition. If multiple
combustion units are located in one
EPA Region, the application must be
submitted to the Regional Administrator
for that Region. The criteria and process
for making such non-waste
determinations includes the following:
(1) Submittal of an application to the
Regional Administrator for the EPA
Region where the facility or facilities are
located or the Assistant Administrator
for the Office of Land and Emergency
Management for a determination that
the non-hazardous secondary material,
even though it has been transferred to a
third party, has not been discarded and
is indistinguishable in all relevant
aspects from a fuel product. The
determination will be based on whether
the non-hazardous secondary material
that has been discarded is a legitimate
fuel as specified in paragraph (d)(1) of
this section and on the following
criteria:
*
*
*
*
*
(2) The Regional Administrator or
Assistant Administrator for the Office of
Land and Emergency Management will
evaluate the application pursuant to the
following procedures:
*
*
*
*
*
(ii) The Regional Administrator or
Assistant Administrator for the Office of
Land and Emergency Management will
evaluate the application and issue a
draft notice tentatively granting or
denying the application. Notification of
VerDate Sep<11>2014

this tentative decision will be published
in a newspaper advertisement or radio
broadcast in the locality where the
facility combusting the non-hazardous
secondary material is located, and be
made available on the EPA’s Web site.
(iii) The Regional Administrator or
the Assistant Administrator for the
Office of Land and Emergency
Management will accept public
comments on the tentative decision for
30 days, and may also hold a public
hearing upon request or at his/her
discretion. The Regional Administrator
or the Assistant Administrator for the
Office of Land and Emergency
Management will issue a final decision
after receipt of comments and after a
hearing (if any). If a determination is
made that the non-hazardous secondary
material is a non-waste fuel, it will be
retroactive and apply on the date the
petition was submitted.
(iv) If a change occurs that affects how
a non-hazardous secondary material
meets the relevant criteria contained in
this paragraph (c) after a formal nonwaste determination has been granted,
the applicant must re-apply to the
Regional Administrator or the Assistant
Administrator for the Office of Land and
Emergency Management for a formal
determination that the non-hazardous
secondary material continues to meet
the relevant criteria and, thus, is not a
solid waste.

certain adverse air quality effects in
other states. On May 11, 2015, the State
of Washington made a submittal to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to address these requirements. The EPA
is approving the submittal as meeting
the requirement that each SIP contain
adequate provisions to prohibit
emissions that will contribute
significantly to nonattainment or

I. Background Information
On October 27, 2015, the EPA
proposed to find that Washington
adequately addressed the interstate
transport requirements of CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS (80 FR 65672). An explanation
of the CAA requirements, a detailed
analysis of the submittal, and the EPA’s
reasons for approval were provided in
the notice of proposed rulemaking, and
will not be restated here. The public
comment period for this proposed rule
ended on November 27, 2015. The EPA
received no comments on the proposal.

II. Final Action
The EPA approves the Washington
SIP as meeting the CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) interstate transport
requirements for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS.
III. Statutory and Executive Orders
Review
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:23 Dec 14, 2015
Jkt 238001
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• 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 (Pub. L. 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
this action does not involve technical
standards; and
• does not provide the 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).
The SIP is not approved to apply on
any Indian reservation land in
Washington except as specifically noted
below and is also not approved to apply
in any other area where the EPA or an
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000). Washington’s SIP is
approved to apply on non-trust land
within the exterior boundaries of the
Puyallup Indian Reservation, also
known as the 1873 Survey Area. Under
the Puyallup Tribe of Indians
Settlement Act of 1989, 25 U.S.C. 1773,
Congress explicitly provided state and
local agencies in Washington authority
over activities on non-trust lands within
the 1873 Survey Area.
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

Frm 00011
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

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. The 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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by February 16, 2016. 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. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section
307(b)(2).

valuable energy resources, abundant
seafood, extraordinary beaches and
recreational activities, and a rich natural
and cultural heritage. Its waters and
coasts are home to one of the most

diverse natural environments in the
world—including over 15,000 species of
sea life and millions of migratory birds.
The Gulf has endured many
catastrophes, including major
hurricanes such as Katrina, Rita, Gustav
and Ike in the last ten years alone. The
region has also experienced the loss of
critical wetland habitats, erosion of
barrier islands, imperiled fisheries,
water quality degradation and
significant coastal land loss. More
recently, the health of the region’s
ecosystem was significantly affected by
the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. As a
result of the oil spill, the Council has
been given the great responsibility of
helping to address ecosystem challenges
across the Gulf.
In 2010 the Deepwater Horizon oil
spill caused extensive damage to the
Gulf Coast’s natural resources,
devastating the economies and
communities that rely on it. In an effort
to help the region rebuild in the wake
of the spill, Congress passed and the
President signed the RESTORE Act,
Public Law 112–141 sections 1601–
1608, 126 Stat. 588 (Jul. 6, 2012),
codified at 33 U.S.C. 1321(t) and note.
The RESTORE Act created the Gulf
Coast Restoration Trust Fund (Trust
Fund) and dedicates to the Trust Fund
80% of all civil and administrative
penalties paid under the Clean Water
Act, after enactment of the RESTORE
Act, by parties responsible for the
Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Under the RESTORE Act, these funds
will be made available through five
components. The Department of the
Treasury (Treasury) has issued
regulations (79 FR 48039 (Aug. 15,
2014)), adopting an interim final rule at
31 CFR part 34) (Treasury Regulations),
applicable to all five components, that
generally describe the responsibilities of
the Federal and State entities that
administer RESTORE Act programs and
carry out restoration activities in the
Gulf Coast region.
Two of the five components, the
Council-Selected Restoration
Component and the Spill Impact
Component, are administered by the
Council, an independent Federal entity
created by the RESTORE Act. Under the
Spill Impact Component (33 U.S.C.

This action addresses CAA
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I).
1321(t)(3)), the subject of this rule, 30%
of funds in the Trust Fund will be
disbursed to the States based on
allocation criteria set forth in the
RESTORE Act.1 In order for funds to be
disbursed to a State, the RESTORE Act
requires each State to develop a State
Expenditure Plan (SEP) and submit it to
the Council for approval. The RESTORE
Act specifies particular entities within
the States to prepare these plans.
SEPs must meet the following four
criteria set forth in the RESTORE Act:
(1) All projects, programs and activities
(activities) included in the SEP are
eligible activities under the RESTORE
Act (33 U.S.C. 1321(t)(3)(B)(i)(I)); (2) all
activities included in the SEP contribute
to the overall economic and ecological
recovery of the Gulf Coast (33 U.S.C.
1321(t)(3)(B)(i)(II)); (3) the SEP takes the
Council’s Comprehensive Plan into
consideration and is consistent with the
goals and objectives of the
Comprehensive Plan (33 U.S.C.
1321(t)(3)(B)(i)(III)); and (4) no more
than 25% of the allotted funds are used
for infrastructure projects unless the
SEP contains certain certifications
pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 1321(t)(3)(B)(ii)
(33 U.S.C. 1321(t)(3)(B)(ii)). If the
Council determines that an SEP meets
the four criteria listed above and
otherwise complies with the RESTORE
Act and the applicable Treasury
Regulations, the Council must approve
the SEP based upon such determination
within 60 days after a State submits an
SEP to the Council. 33 U.S.C.
1321(t)(3)(B)(iv).
The funds the Council disburses to
the States upon approval of an SEP will
be in the form of grants. As required by
Federal law, the Council will award a
Federal grant or grants to each of the
States and incorporate into the grant
award(s) standard administrative terms
1 33 U.S.C. 1321(t)(3)(A)(ii). The Council
previously promulgated a regulation permitting
each State to access up to 5% of the total amount
available in the Trust Fund under the Spill Impact
Component (the statutory minimum guaranteed to
each State). These funds could be used for planning
purposes associated with developing a State
Expenditure Plan. 80 FR 1584 (Jan. 13, 2015); 40
CFR 1800.20.

III. Statutory and Executive Orders Review
I. Background Information
On October 27, 2015, the EPA proposed to find that Washington
adequately addressed the interstate transport requirements of CAA
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2008 ozone NAAQS (80 FR 65672). An
explanation of the CAA requirements, a detailed analysis of the
submittal, and the EPA's reasons for approval were provided in the
notice of proposed rulemaking, and will not be restated here. The
public comment period for this proposed rule ended on November 27,
2015. The EPA received no comments on the proposal.
II. Final Action
The EPA approves the Washington SIP as meeting the CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) interstate transport requirements for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS.
III. Statutory and Executive Orders Review
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
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 (Pub. L. 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 this action does not involve technical standards; and
does not provide the 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).
The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land in
Washington except as specifically noted below and is also not approved
to apply in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Washington's SIP
is approved to apply on non-trust land within the exterior boundaries
of the Puyallup Indian Reservation, also known as the 1873 Survey Area.
Under the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989, 25 U.S.C.
1773, Congress explicitly provided state and local agencies in
Washington authority over activities on non-trust lands within the 1873
Survey Area.
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. The 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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by February 16, 2016. 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. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
