State of Nebraska; Authorization of
State Hazardous Waste Management
Program
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
Nebraska has applied to the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
for final authorization of revisions to its
hazardous waste program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA). EPA has determined that
these revisions satisfy all requirements
needed to qualify for final authorization
and is authorizing Nebraska’s revisions
through this direct final rule.
DATES: This final authorization will
become effective on January 17, 2017,
unless EPA receives adverse written
comments by December 19, 2016. If EPA
receives such comments, we will
publish a timely withdrawal of this
direct final rule in the Federal Register
informing the public that this rule will
not take effect.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07–
RCRA–2016–0637, to https://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
Once submitted, comments cannot be
edited or removed from Regulations.gov.
EPA may publish any comment received
to its public docket. Do not submit
electronically any information you
consider to be Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video,
etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is
considered the official comment and
should include discussion of all points
you wish to make. EPA will generally
not consider comments or comment
contents located outside of the primary
submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or
other file sharing system). For

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of this
Federal Register, we are publishing a
separate document that will serve as the
proposal to authorize the revisions. EPA
believes this action is not controversial
and does not expect comments that
oppose it. Unless EPA receives written
comments that oppose this
authorization during the comment
period, the decision to authorize
Nebraska’s revisions to its hazardous
waste program will take effect. If EPA
receives comments that oppose this
action, EPA will publish a document in
the Federal Register withdrawing
today’s direct final rule before it takes
effect.
Authorization of State-Initiated
Changes
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
hazardous waste program. As the
Federal program is revised, the states
must change their programs and ask the
EPA to authorize the changes. Changes
to state hazardous waste 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 268, 270, 273 and 279.
States can also initiate their own
changes to their hazardous waste
program and these changes must then be
authorized.
B. What decisions have we made in this
rule?
EPA concludes that Nebraska’s
application to revise its authorized
program meets all of the statutory and
regulatory requirements established by
RCRA. Therefore, EPA is granting
Nebraska final authorization to operate
its hazardous waste program with the
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
81007
revisions described in the authorization
application. Nebraska 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 Nebraska, including
issuing permits, until Nebraska 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 Nebraska 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. Nebraska
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) Perform inspections, and require
monitoring, tests, analyses, or reports;
and (2) Enforce RCRA requirements and
suspend or revoke permits. This action
does not impose additional
requirements on the regulated
community because the regulations for
which Nebraska is being authorized by
this direct final action are already
effective and are not changed by this
action.
D. Why wasn’t there a proposed rule
before this rule?
Along with this direct final rule, EPA
is publishing a separate document in the
‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of this
Federal Register that serves as the
proposal to authorize these state
program revisions. EPA did not publish
a proposal before this direct final action
because EPA views this action as a
routine program change and does not
expect comments that oppose its
approval. EPA is providing an
opportunity for public comment now, as
described in Section E of this document.
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
E:\FR\FM\17NOR1.SGM
17NOR1
81008
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 222 / Thursday, November 17, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
becomes effective. EPA will base any
further decision on the authorization of
Nebraska’s program revisions on the
proposal mentioned in the previous
section, after considering all comments
received during the comment period.
EPA will then address all such
comments in a later final rule. You may
not have another opportunity to
comment. If you want to comment on
this authorization, you must do so at
this time.
If EPA receives comments that oppose
only the authorization of a particular
revision to the State hazardous waste
program, we will withdraw only that
part of this action, and the authorization
of the program revisions 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. For what has Nebraska previously
been authorized?
Nebraska initially received final
authorization on January 24, 1985,
effective February 7, 1985 (50 FR 3345),
to implement the RCRA hazardous
waste management program. Nebraska
received authorization for revisions to
its program on October 4, 1985, effective
December 3, 1988 (53 FR 38950); June
25, 1996, effective August 26, 1996 (61
FR 32699); April 10, 2003, effective June
9, 2003 (68 FR 17553); October 4, 2004,
effective December 3, 2004 (69 FR
59139); and December 30, 2008,
effective September 24, 2010 (75 FR
58328).
G. What changes are we authorizing
with this action?
On September 21, 2016, Nebraska
submitted its final application seeking
authorization of hazardous waste
program revisions in accordance with
40 CFR 271.21. The State’s
Federal requirement 40 CFR
authorization package includes an
updated Program Description, a General
Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), a
Corrective Action MOA between the
EPA and the Nebraska Department of
Environmental Quality (NDEQ), a copy
of title 128 of the Nebraska
Administrative Code, as amended on
July 6, 2016, and an Attorney General’s
Statement. The State has made
amendments to the provisions listed in
the table which follows. The State’s
laws and regulations, amended by these
provisions, provide authority which
remains equivalent to, no less stringent
than, and not broader in scope than the
Federal laws and regulations.
Nebraska’s regulatory references are to
title 128 or title 129, as noted, of the
Nebraska Administrative Code, as
amended on July 6, 2016. We are
granting Nebraska final authorization to
carry out the following provisions of the
State’s program in lieu of the Federal
program.

H. Where are the revised State rules
different from the Federal rules?
1. State clarification of Federal rules.
These clarifications do not affect the
enforcement status of the rule, but
simply improves clarity for the
regulated community.
(a) Nebraska chose not to publish the
note in 40 CFR 268.42 because all the
information formerly contained in 40
CFR 268.42/tables 2 and 3 are now
contained in title 128, chapter 20,
section 009/table 9 and section 010/
table 10. By omitting the note, the State
eliminated a source of possible
confusion.
(b) Nebraska chose not to publish the
note in 40 CFR 268.43 because all the
information formerly contained in 40
CFR 268.43/table CCW is now contained
in title 128, chapter 20, section 009/
table 9. By omitting the note, the State
eliminated a source of possible
confusion.
(c) Nebraska chose not to publish the
note in 40 CFR 268.46 because all the
information formerly contained in 40
CFR 268.46 is now contained in title
128, chapter 20, section 009/table 9. By
omitting the note, the State eliminated
a source of possible confusion.
2. More Stringent Nebraska Rules. The
Nebraska hazardous waste program
contains some provisions that are more
stringent than is required by the RCRA
program as codified in the July 1, 2015,
edition of the title 40 of the Code of
Federal Regulations. These more
stringent provisions are being
recognized as a part of the Federallyauthorized program.
The specific more stringent provisions
are also noted in Nebraska’s
authorization application. They include,
but are not limited to, the following:
(a) 40 CFR 268.7(a)(1) and (a)(2)
include parenthetical provisions,
beginning with ‘‘Alternatively,’’ which
allow a generator of hazardous waste to
send the waste to a RCRA-permitted
hazardous waste treatment facility
without determining whether the
hazardous waste has to be treated before
it can be land disposed. This allowance
shifts the determination requirement to
the treatment facility. Nebraska omits
these parenthetical provisions and is
therefore more stringent than the
Federal regulations by keeping the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:03 Nov 16, 2016
Jkt 241001
Analogous Nebraska authority Title 129
34–002.02
responsibility for determining if the
hazardous waste meets LDR treatment
standards with the generator.
(b) At 20–005.01B1, Nebraska requires
specific language for a contaminated
soil certification statement. The Federal
rules do not specify required language,
therefore the State is more stringent.
(c) In title 128, chapter 20, the table—
Treatment Standards for Hazardous
Waste—Nebraska includes the chemical
1,3-Phenylenediamine under the F039
listing. This chemical is not included in
the table located at 40 CFR 268.40.
Therefore the State is more stringent.
(d) At 21–006, Nebraska adopts and
incorporates by reference 40 CFR part
264, subpart F, pertaining to releases
from solid waste management units.
Nebraska adds a provision at 21–006.01,
which requires groundwater monitoring
wells to be designed according to ASTM
Standard D5092–90. In addition, any
groundwater monitoring well to be
placed in a stratigraphic unit composed
of loessal sediment must be designed
and sampled in a manner approved by
NDEQ intended to minimize turbidity in
samples taken from the well. The
Federal regulations do not have these
specific requirements, therefore
Nebraska is more stringent.
(e) At 40 CFR 270.60(b)(3), the Federal
rules the owner/operator of an injection
well disposing of hazardous waste is
considered to have RCRA permit if they
have a UIC permit issued after
November 8, 1984 and meet the
conditions listed at 270.60(b)(3)(i) and
(ii). Hazardous waste injection wells are
expressly prohibited under title 122,
Nebraska Administrative Code, Rules
and Regulations for Underground
Injection and Mineral Production Wells,
chapter 3, section 003. Through this
prohibition, the State rule is more
stringent than the Federal rule.
(f) At 22–006, Nebraska adopts and
incorporates by reference 40 CFR part
265, subpart F, pertaining to
groundwater monitoring. Nebraska adds
a provision at 22–006.01, which
requires groundwater monitoring wells
to be designed according to ASTM
Standard D5092–90. In addition, any
groundwater monitoring well to be
placed in a stratigraphic unit composed
of loessal sediment must be designed
and sampled in a manner approved by
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
NDEQ intended to minimize turbidity in
samples taken from the well. The
Federal regulations do not have these
specific requirements, therefore
Nebraska is more stringent.
(g) At 22–006, Nebraska adopts and
incorporates by reference 40 CFR part
265, subpart F, pertaining to
groundwater monitoring. At 22–006.03,
Nebraska adds a provision which
requires sampling during the initial four
consecutive quarters for all analytes
listed in 40 CFR 265.92(b), as
incorporated by reference at 22–006.
This requirement is more stringent than
the Federal rules.
The 40 CFR 265.92(b)(1)–(3) outlines
criteria required, Nebraska adds a
provision at 22–006.03, which requires
groundwater monitoring wells to be
designed according to ASTM Standard
D5092–90. In addition, any groundwater
monitoring well to be placed in a
stratigraphic unit composed of loessal
sediment must be designed and sampled
in a manner approved by NDEQ
intended to minimize turbidity in
samples taken from the well. The
Federal regulations do not have these
specific requirements, therefore
Nebraska is more stringent.
(h) At 22–006, Nebraska adopts and
incorporates by reference 40 CFR part
265, subpart F, pertaining to
groundwater monitoring. At 40 CFR
265.93(d)(7)(ii), the Federal regulations
state that determinations may cease if
the groundwater quality assessment
plan was implemented during the postclosure care period. At 22–006.04, the
State regulations allow these
determinations to cease only if the
facility is operating under an approved
Post Closure Plan. Therefore the State
regulations are more stringent than the
Federal rules.
(i) At 22–006, Nebraska adopts and
incorporates by reference 40 CFR part
265, subpart F, pertaining to
groundwater monitoring. Under
265.93(f), the owner or operator must
report the results of analyses annually.
At 22–006.05, Nebraska requires the
analyses to be submitted within 45 days
following the end of the quarter in
which the sample was taken. Therefore,
the State is more stringent.
(j) The Federal regulations at
273.32(b)(4) require a large quantity
E:\FR\FM\17NOR1.SGM
17NOR1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 222 / Thursday, November 17, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with RULES
handler of universal waste to send
written notification of universal waste
management to the regulating authority.
Nebraska requires the generator to list
the type of waste being generated.
Therefore, the state rule is more
stringent than the Federal rule.
(k) At 261.2(c)(3), and in column 3 of
261.2(c)(4) table 1, the Federal
regulations list the exclusion cited at
261.4(a)(17). Nebraska did not adopt
this exclusion. Therefore, the state is
more stringent than the Federal
regulations.
3. Broader in scope. EPA considers
the following state requirements to be
beyond the scope of the Federal
program, and therefore EPA is not
authorizing these requirements and
cannot enforce them. Entities must
comply with these requirements in
accordance with state law, but they are
not RCRA requirements. The specific
broader in scope provisions include, but
are not limited to, the following:
(a) At 22–006, Nebraska adopts and
incorporates by reference 40 CFR part
265, subpart F, pertaining to
groundwater monitoring. At 40 CFR
265.92(b), the owner or operator must
determine the concentration or value of
the listed parameters in ground-water
samples. At 22–006.02, Nebraska
includes sampling for volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) at the discretion of
the Director on a case-by-case basis. The
VOCs shall be analyzed in accordance
with a method approved by the Director.
This requirement is broader in scope
than the Federal rules.
(b) Title 128 chapter 25 contains
Nebraska’s ‘‘Standards for Universal
Waste Management.’’ The state adds an
additional waste stream ‘‘electronic
items’’ to the list of types of universal
waste subject to these regulations. 40
CFR part 273, the Federal ‘‘Standards
for Universal Waste Management’’ do
not include ‘‘electronic items’’ as an
identified waste stream. Therefore, any
references or requirements for managing
the ‘‘electronic items’’ waste stream
universal waste are broader in scope
and not enforceable by EPA.
I. Who handles permits after the
authorization takes effect?
Nebraska 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 hazardous waste
permits or portions of permits which
EPA issued prior to the effective date of
this authorization until they expire or
are terminated. EPA will not issue any
more permits, or new portions of
permits, for the provisions listed in the
table above after the effective date of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:03 Nov 16, 2016
Jkt 241001
this authorization. EPA will continue to
implement and issue permits for HSWA
requirements for which Nebraska is not
yet authorized.
J. How does this action affect Indian
Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in Nebraska?
Nebraska is not authorized to carry
out its Hazardous Waste Program in
Indian Country within the State. This
authority remains with EPA. Therefore,
this action has no effect in Indian
Country.
K. What is codification and is EPA
codifying Nebraska’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. EPA is not codifying
the authorization of Nebraska’s changes
at this time. However, we reserve the
amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart
CC for the authorization of Nebraska’s
program changes at a later date.
L. Administrative Requirements
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) has exempted this action from
the requirements of Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993),
and 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 of
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
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
81013
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 action 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 action under Executive Order
12866.
Under RCRA 3006(b), EPA grants a
state’s application for incorporation by
reference as long as the State meets the
criteria required by RCRA. It would thus
be inconsistent with applicable law for
the 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
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, 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 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
will be effective January 17, 2017,
unless objections to this authorization
are received.

[EPA-R07-RCRA-2016-0637; FRL-9955-25-Region 7]
State of Nebraska; Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Nebraska has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) for final authorization of revisions to its hazardous waste
program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA
has determined that these revisions satisfy all requirements needed to
qualify for final authorization and is authorizing Nebraska's revisions
through this direct final rule.
DATES: This final authorization will become effective on January 17,
2017, unless EPA receives adverse written comments by December 19,
2016. If EPA receives such comments, we will publish a timely
withdrawal of this direct final rule in the Federal Register informing
the public that this rule will not take effect.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
RCRA-2016-0637, to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing
system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA public comment
policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, and general
guidance on making effective comments, please visit https://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

Coordination Office, 11201 Renner Boulevard, Lenexa, Kansas 66219,
phone number: (913) 551-7877, and email address: haugen.lisa@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Proposed Rules'' section of this
Federal Register, we are publishing a separate document that will serve
as the proposal to authorize the revisions. EPA believes this action is
not controversial and does not expect comments that oppose it. Unless
EPA receives written comments that oppose this authorization during the
comment period, the decision to authorize Nebraska's revisions to its
hazardous waste program will take effect. If EPA receives comments that
oppose this action, EPA will publish a document in the Federal Register
withdrawing today's direct final rule before it takes effect.
Authorization of State-Initiated Changes
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 hazardous waste program. As the Federal program is
revised, the states must change their programs and ask the EPA to
authorize the changes. Changes to state hazardous waste 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 268, 270,
273 and 279. States can also initiate their own changes to their
hazardous waste program and these changes must then be authorized.
B. What decisions have we made in this rule?
EPA concludes that Nebraska's application to revise its authorized
program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements
established by RCRA. Therefore, EPA is granting Nebraska final
authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the revisions
described in the authorization application. Nebraska 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 Nebraska, including issuing permits,
until Nebraska 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 Nebraska 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. Nebraska 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) Perform inspections, and
require monitoring, tests, analyses, or reports; and (2) Enforce RCRA
requirements and suspend or revoke permits. This action does not impose
additional requirements on the regulated community because the
regulations for which Nebraska is being authorized by this direct final
action are already effective and are not changed by this action.
D. Why wasn't there a proposed rule before this rule?
Along with this direct final rule, EPA is publishing a separate
document in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of this Federal Register
that serves as the proposal to authorize these state program revisions.
EPA did not publish a proposal before this direct final action because
EPA views this action as a routine program change and does not expect
comments that oppose its approval. EPA is providing an opportunity for
public comment now, as described in Section E of this document.
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
[[Page 81008]]
becomes effective. EPA will base any further decision on the
authorization of Nebraska's program revisions on the proposal mentioned
in the previous section, after considering all comments received during
the comment period. EPA will then address all such comments in a later
final rule. You may not have another opportunity to comment. If you
want to comment on this authorization, you must do so at this time.
If EPA receives comments that oppose only the authorization of a
particular revision to the State hazardous waste program, we will
withdraw only that part of this action, and the authorization of the
program revisions 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. For what has Nebraska previously been authorized?
Nebraska initially received final authorization on January 24,
1985, effective February 7, 1985 (50 FR 3345), to implement the RCRA
hazardous waste management program. Nebraska received authorization for
revisions to its program on October 4, 1985, effective December 3, 1988
(53 FR 38950); June 25, 1996, effective August 26, 1996 (61 FR 32699);
April 10, 2003, effective June 9, 2003 (68 FR 17553); October 4, 2004,
effective December 3, 2004 (69 FR 59139); and December 30, 2008,
effective September 24, 2010 (75 FR 58328).
G. What changes are we authorizing with this action?
On September 21, 2016, Nebraska submitted its final application
seeking authorization of hazardous waste program revisions in
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. The State's authorization package
includes an updated Program Description, a General Memorandum of
Agreement (MOA), a Corrective Action MOA between the EPA and the
Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ), a copy of title
128 of the Nebraska Administrative Code, as amended on July 6, 2016,
and an Attorney General's Statement. The State has made amendments to
the provisions listed in the table which follows. The State's laws and
regulations, amended by these provisions, provide authority which
remains equivalent to, no less stringent than, and not broader in scope
than the Federal laws and regulations. Nebraska's regulatory references
are to title 128 or title 129, as noted, of the Nebraska Administrative
Code, as amended on July 6, 2016. We are granting Nebraska final
authorization to carry out the following provisions of the State's
program in lieu of the Federal program.

H. Where are the revised State rules different from the Federal rules?
1. State clarification of Federal rules. These clarifications do
not affect the enforcement status of the rule, but simply improves
clarity for the regulated community.
(a) Nebraska chose not to publish the note in 40 CFR 268.42 because
all the information formerly contained in 40 CFR 268.42/tables 2 and 3
are now contained in title 128, chapter 20, section 009/table 9 and
section 010/table 10. By omitting the note, the State eliminated a
source of possible confusion.
(b) Nebraska chose not to publish the note in 40 CFR 268.43 because
all the information formerly contained in 40 CFR 268.43/table CCW is
now contained in title 128, chapter 20, section 009/table 9. By
omitting the note, the State eliminated a source of possible confusion.
(c) Nebraska chose not to publish the note in 40 CFR 268.46 because
all the information formerly contained in 40 CFR 268.46 is now
contained in title 128, chapter 20, section 009/table 9. By omitting
the note, the State eliminated a source of possible confusion.
2. More Stringent Nebraska Rules. The Nebraska hazardous waste
program contains some provisions that are more stringent than is
required by the RCRA program as codified in the July 1, 2015, edition
of the title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These more
stringent provisions are being recognized as a part of the Federally-
authorized program.
The specific more stringent provisions are also noted in Nebraska's
authorization application. They include, but are not limited to, the
following:
(a) 40 CFR 268.7(a)(1) and (a)(2) include parenthetical provisions,
beginning with ``Alternatively,'' which allow a generator of hazardous
waste to send the waste to a RCRA-permitted hazardous waste treatment
facility without determining whether the hazardous waste has to be
treated before it can be land disposed. This allowance shifts the
determination requirement to the treatment facility. Nebraska omits
these parenthetical provisions and is therefore more stringent than the
Federal regulations by keeping the responsibility for determining if
the hazardous waste meets LDR treatment standards with the generator.
(b) At 20-005.01B1, Nebraska requires specific language for a
contaminated soil certification statement. The Federal rules do not
specify required language, therefore the State is more stringent.
(c) In title 128, chapter 20, the table--Treatment Standards for
Hazardous Waste--Nebraska includes the chemical 1,3-Phenylenediamine
under the F039 listing. This chemical is not included in the table
located at 40 CFR 268.40. Therefore the State is more stringent.
(d) At 21-006, Nebraska adopts and incorporates by reference 40 CFR
part 264, subpart F, pertaining to releases from solid waste management
units. Nebraska adds a provision at 21-006.01, which requires
groundwater monitoring wells to be designed according to ASTM Standard
D5092-90. In addition, any groundwater monitoring well to be placed in
a stratigraphic unit composed of loessal sediment must be designed and
sampled in a manner approved by NDEQ intended to minimize turbidity in
samples taken from the well. The Federal regulations do not have these
specific requirements, therefore Nebraska is more stringent.
(e) At 40 CFR 270.60(b)(3), the Federal rules the owner/operator of
an injection well disposing of hazardous waste is considered to have
RCRA permit if they have a UIC permit issued after November 8, 1984 and
meet the conditions listed at 270.60(b)(3)(i) and (ii). Hazardous waste
injection wells are expressly prohibited under title 122, Nebraska
Administrative Code, Rules and Regulations for Underground Injection
and Mineral Production Wells, chapter 3, section 003. Through this
prohibition, the State rule is more stringent than the Federal rule.
(f) At 22-006, Nebraska adopts and incorporates by reference 40 CFR
part 265, subpart F, pertaining to groundwater monitoring. Nebraska
adds a provision at 22-006.01, which requires groundwater monitoring
wells to be designed according to ASTM Standard D5092-90. In addition,
any groundwater monitoring well to be placed in a stratigraphic unit
composed of loessal sediment must be designed and sampled in a manner
approved by NDEQ intended to minimize turbidity in samples taken from
the well. The Federal regulations do not have these specific
requirements, therefore Nebraska is more stringent.
(g) At 22-006, Nebraska adopts and incorporates by reference 40 CFR
part 265, subpart F, pertaining to groundwater monitoring. At 22-
006.03, Nebraska adds a provision which requires sampling during the
initial four consecutive quarters for all analytes listed in 40 CFR
265.92(b), as incorporated by reference at 22-006. This requirement is
more stringent than the Federal rules.
The 40 CFR 265.92(b)(1)-(3) outlines criteria required, Nebraska
adds a provision at 22-006.03, which requires groundwater monitoring
wells to be designed according to ASTM Standard D5092-90. In addition,
any groundwater monitoring well to be placed in a stratigraphic unit
composed of loessal sediment must be designed and sampled in a manner
approved by NDEQ intended to minimize turbidity in samples taken from
the well. The Federal regulations do not have these specific
requirements, therefore Nebraska is more stringent.
(h) At 22-006, Nebraska adopts and incorporates by reference 40 CFR
part 265, subpart F, pertaining to groundwater monitoring. At 40 CFR
265.93(d)(7)(ii), the Federal regulations state that determinations may
cease if the groundwater quality assessment plan was implemented during
the post-closure care period. At 22-006.04, the State regulations allow
these determinations to cease only if the facility is operating under
an approved Post Closure Plan. Therefore the State regulations are more
stringent than the Federal rules.
(i) At 22-006, Nebraska adopts and incorporates by reference 40 CFR
part 265, subpart F, pertaining to groundwater monitoring. Under
265.93(f), the owner or operator must report the results of analyses
annually. At 22-006.05, Nebraska requires the analyses to be submitted
within 45 days following the end of the quarter in which the sample was
taken. Therefore, the State is more stringent.
(j) The Federal regulations at 273.32(b)(4) require a large
quantity
[[Page 81013]]
handler of universal waste to send written notification of universal
waste management to the regulating authority. Nebraska requires the
generator to list the type of waste being generated. Therefore, the
state rule is more stringent than the Federal rule.
(k) At 261.2(c)(3), and in column 3 of 261.2(c)(4) table 1, the
Federal regulations list the exclusion cited at 261.4(a)(17). Nebraska
did not adopt this exclusion. Therefore, the state is more stringent
than the Federal regulations.
3. Broader in scope. EPA considers the following state requirements
to be beyond the scope of the Federal program, and therefore EPA is not
authorizing these requirements and cannot enforce them. Entities must
comply with these requirements in accordance with state law, but they
are not RCRA requirements. The specific broader in scope provisions
include, but are not limited to, the following:
(a) At 22-006, Nebraska adopts and incorporates by reference 40 CFR
part 265, subpart F, pertaining to groundwater monitoring. At 40 CFR
265.92(b), the owner or operator must determine the concentration or
value of the listed parameters in ground-water samples. At 22-006.02,
Nebraska includes sampling for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at the
discretion of the Director on a case-by-case basis. The VOCs shall be
analyzed in accordance with a method approved by the Director. This
requirement is broader in scope than the Federal rules.
(b) Title 128 chapter 25 contains Nebraska's ``Standards for
Universal Waste Management.'' The state adds an additional waste stream
``electronic items'' to the list of types of universal waste subject to
these regulations. 40 CFR part 273, the Federal ``Standards for
Universal Waste Management'' do not include ``electronic items'' as an
identified waste stream. Therefore, any references or requirements for
managing the ``electronic items'' waste stream universal waste are
broader in scope and not enforceable by EPA.
I. Who handles permits after the authorization takes effect?
Nebraska 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 hazardous waste permits or portions
of permits which EPA issued prior to the effective date of this
authorization until they expire or are terminated. EPA will not issue
any more 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 Nebraska is not yet authorized.
J. How does this action affect Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in
Nebraska?
Nebraska is not authorized to carry out its Hazardous Waste Program
in Indian Country within the State. This authority remains with EPA.
Therefore, this action has no effect in Indian Country.
K. What is codification and is EPA codifying Nebraska'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. EPA is not codifying the
authorization of Nebraska's changes at this time. However, we reserve
the amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart CC for the authorization of
Nebraska's program changes at a later date.
L. Administrative Requirements
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this action
from the requirements of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993), and 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
of 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
action 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 action under Executive Order 12866.
Under RCRA 3006(b), EPA grants a state's application for
incorporation by reference as long as the State meets the criteria
required by RCRA. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for
the 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 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, 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 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 will be effective January 17, 2017, unless
objections to this authorization are received.
