Table (2) was added to reflect the attainment status of areas for the 2012 annual PM2.5 primary NAAQS. Table (3) was added to reflect the attainment status of areas for the 1997 twenty-four hour (24-hour) primary and secondary PM2.5 NAAQS. Table (4) was added to reflect the attainment status of areas for the 2006 24-hour primary and secondary PM2.5 NAAQS. Section 10.—Attainment Status Designations for Total Suspended Particulates (TSP) The attainment status designation table for TSP was amended to reflect the attainment status of areas in the Commonwealth of Kentucky for the 1971 TSP NAAQS. EPA has reviewed these changes to the Kentucky regulations for attainment status designations and is proposing to find that these changes are consistent with federal regulations, specifically 40 CFR 81.318. In addition to the revision of attainment status designations in Sections 4 through 8 and Section 10 of Regulation 401 KAR 51:010, the SIP submittal includes minor textual modifications to the NECESSITY, FUNCTION, AND CONFORMITY section and Section 1 (Definitions) and Section 2 (Attainment Status Designations). EPA is proposing to find that these are administrative changes that are consistent with the requirements of the CAA. III. Incorporation by Reference In this rule, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule regulatory text that includes incorporation by VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:30 Sep 20, 2018 Jkt 244001 reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference Kentucky Regulation 401 KAR 51:010, Attainment status designations, effective October 6, 2016, which was revised to be consistent with the federal attainment status designations for the areas within the Commonwealth.4 EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information). IV. Proposed Action EPA is proposing to approve the Commonwealth of Kentucky December 13, 2016, SIP revisions identified in section II above, because these changes are consistent with the CAA and EPA regulations. V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. This action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed 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); • Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under Executive Order 12866; • 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); 4 The incorporation by reference will not include Section 9 of 401 KAR 51:010, as EPA is not acting on Section 9 in this action. PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 • Does not have Federalism implications as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999); • Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); • Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); • Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA; and • Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where 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), nor will it impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS SUMMARY: A. Why are revisions to State programs necessary? States that have received final authorization from EPA under RCRA section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must maintain a hazardous waste program that is equivalent to, consistent with, and no less stringent than the federal program. As the federal program changes, states must change their programs and ask EPA to authorize the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:30 Sep 20, 2018 Jkt 244001 changes. Changes to state programs may be necessary when federal or state statutory or regulatory authority is modified or when certain other changes occur, including revisions to state programs initiated by the states. 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. New federal requirements and prohibitions imposed by federal regulations that EPA promulgates pursuant to the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) take effect in authorized states at the same time that they take effect in unauthorized states. Thus, EPA implements those requirements and prohibitions in the states, including the issuance of new permits implementing those requirements, until the states are granted authorization to do so. B. What decisions has EPA made in this rule? On April 13, 2018, Kentucky submitted a program revision application seeking authorization of changes to its hazardous waste program in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. In particular, Kentucky is seeking authorization for updated State regulations addressing all federal RCRA regulations through June 30, 2017. EPA concludes that Kentucky’s application to revise its authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA, as set forth in RCRA section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), and 40 CFR part 271. Therefore, EPA proposes to grant Kentucky final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in its authorization application, and as outlined below in Section F of this document. Kentucky currently has responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, and disposal facilities within its borders and for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA program described in its revised program application, subject to the limitations of HSWA. Upon authorization of the changes contained in Kentucky’s program revision application, Kentucky will gain permitting responsibility for the additional HSWA requirements contained in its application as discussed in Section C below. C. What is the effect of this proposed authorization decision? If Kentucky is authorized for the changes described in Kentucky’s authorization application, these changes will become part of the authorized State PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 47859 hazardous waste program, and therefore will be federally enforceable. Kentucky will continue to have primary enforcement authority and responsibility for its State hazardous waste program. Upon authorization for certain HSWA provisions included in Kentucky’s application, including organic air emissions standards, boiler and industrial furnace requirements, and land disposal restrictions, Kentucky will assume permitting responsibility for these portions of the RCRA program from EPA. EPA and the State will coordinate the transfer of permitting responsibility for any existing federal permits from EPA to the State upon final authorization. EPA will retain its authorities under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, including its authority to: • Conduct inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses, or reports; • Enforce RCRA requirements, including authorized State program requirements, and suspend or revoke permits; and • 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 EPA is proposing to authorize Kentucky are already effective, and are not changed by today’s proposed action. D. What happens if EPA receives comments that oppose this action? EPA will evaluate any comments received on this proposed action and will make a final decision on approval or disapproval of Kentucky’s proposed authorization. Our decision will be published in the 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 Kentucky previously been authorized for? Kentucky initially received final authorization on January 17, 1985, effective January 31, 1985 (50 FR 2550), to implement the RCRA hazardous waste management program. EPA granted authorization for changes to Kentucky’s program on the following dates: October 20, 1988, effective December 19, 1988 (53 FR 41164); January 18, 1989, effective March 20, 1989 (54 FR 1940); March 16, 1989, effective May 15, 1989 (54 FR 10986); October 30, 1992, effective December 29, 1992 (57 FR 49140); January 10, 1995, effective March 13, 1995 (60 FR 2534); April 26, 1996, effective June 25, 1996 (61 FR 18504); May 23, 1996, E:\FR\FM\21SEP1.SGM 21SEP1 47860 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 184 / Friday, September 21, 2018 / Proposed Rules effective July 22, 1996 (61 FR 25799); and December 26, 2001, effective February 25, 2002 (66 FR 66340). F. What changes are we proposing with today’s action? Kentucky’s hazardous waste program was previously codified in 166 regulations set forth at Title 401 of the Kentucky Administrative Regulations (KAR) Chapters 31 through 39, 43, and 44. Kentucky promulgated revised hazardous waste regulations, effective on December 7, 2017, which condensed these former hazardous waste regulations into five regulations found at 401 KAR Chapter 39. Kentucky’s regulations at 401 KAR Chapter 39 adopt the majority of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, parts 260 through 270, 273, and 279, via incorporation by reference. The Kentucky regulations and associated federal analogs are: 401 KAR 39:005 (40 CFR 260.10); 401 KAR 39:060, Section 2 (40 CFR part 260); 401 KAR 39:060, Section 3 (40 CFR part 261); 401 KAR 39:060, Section 4 (40 CFR part 268); 401 KAR 39:060, Section 5 (40 CFR parts 124 and 270); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1 (40 CFR part 262); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 2 (40 CFR part 263); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 3 (40 CFR part 273); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 4 (40 CFR part 279); 401 KAR 39:090, Section 1 (40 CFR part 264); 401 KAR 39:090, Section 2 (40 CFR part 265); 401 KAR 39:090, Section 3 (40 CFR part 266); and 401 KAR 39:090, Section 4 (40 CFR part 267). On April 13, 2018, Kentucky submitted a program revision application, seeking authorization of its newly condensed hazardous waste regulations. The additions to the Kentucky program include older federal rules not previously adopted and/or authorized, as well as newly promulgated federal rules. EPA proposes to determine, subject to receipt of written comments that oppose this action, that Kentucky’s hazardous waste program revisions are equivalent to, consistent with, and no less stringent than the federal program, and therefore satisfy all of the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. EPA’s approval of the revised format of the regulations at 401 KAR Chapter 39 does not impact EPA’s prior authorization decisions, and all previously authorized federal rules remain federally authorized. EPA is proposing to authorize Kentucky for the federal regulations listed in Table 1 below. The State regulations which EPA is proposing to authorize are included in Table 2, along with their federal analogs.

The checklists document the changes made by each federal rule and are presented and numbered in chronological order by date of promulgation. 2 The analogous State authority for Checklist SI is Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 224.10–212 and 224.10–100(14). The State analogs for the remaining checklists are listed in Table 2 below. 3 Checklist 58 has been superseded by Checklist 207, the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest Rule, also included in this proposed authorization. 4 Certain federal rules cited in this Table 1, such as the rules identified by Checklists 103, 106, and 116, among others, address land disposal restriction capacity variances and other federal rules that may have been subsequently amended. As a result, authorization of these rules may be moot. However, for purposes of completeness, the rules are included above. However, if a federal rule has been vacated or withdrawn, it is not listed in Table 1 above and will not be authorized. 5 Checklist 117A has been superseded by Checklist 192A, the Final Mixture and Derived-From Rule, which is also included in this proposed authorization. 6 Kentucky adopts the 2015 Definition of Solid Waste (DSW) Rule and the 2018 amendments to the DSW Rule, at 401 KAR 39:005, Section 1, and 39:060, Sections 2, 3 and 5. Because Kentucky adopts the analogous provisions of 40 CFR parts 260, 261, and 270 prospectively, Kentucky’s 2017 regulations appropriately adopt the 2018 amendments to the DSW Rule. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS TABLE 2 State provisions proposed to be authorized 7 Federal analog 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 CFR CFR CFR CFR CFR CFR CFR 260.10 ..................................... 260 (except 260.10) ............... 261 .......................................... 262 .......................................... 263 .......................................... 264 .......................................... 265 ..........................................

The term ‘‘disposal’’ is defined at KRS 224.1–010(9), not at KRS 224.1–010(8) as stated in the current version of the regulation. 9 401 KAR 39:090, Section 1(1), replaces Table 1 of 40 CFR 264.94 with the current federal Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), which is functionally equivalent to the federal provision at 40 CFR 264.94. Kentucky’s application also notes an error to be corrected in Table 1 of the Kentucky regulation. The correct maximum concentration level for lead in groundwater should be 0.015 mg/l. 10 EPA is only proposing to authorize 401 KAR 39:080, Section 4(6), to the extent it requires additional reporting for used oil transporters. The incorporation of other transportation regulations is outside the scope of this authorization. 11 EPA is proposing to authorize these additional State provisions because they relate to, and help to implement, other provisions of the Kentucky hazardous waste program set forth in this Table 2. 8 Kentucky’s G. Where are the revised State rules different from the Federal rules? Although Kentucky incorporates the federal regulations by reference, Kentucky’s regulations also include certain additions, which, if listed in Table 2 above, EPA has determined to be consistent with the federal program. There are also aspects of the Kentucky program which are more stringent than the federal program. All of these more stringent requirements will become part of the federally enforceable RCRA program when authorized. These more stringent requirements are set forth in Table 3 below: TABLE 3 Kentucky more stringent provisions Explanation 401 KAR 39:060, Sections 3(3) and 3(6). Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program by requiring that the Cathode Ray Tube export notifications referenced in 40 CFR 261.39(a)(5) and 261.41, and the state agreement required by 40 CFR 261.4(b)(11)(ii), be submitted to both EPA and the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet (Cabinet). Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 270.13 by requiring the submission of a Part A Application Addendum, DWM 7058A, in addition to the information required on EPA Form 8700–23. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 270.30(l)(6) by requiring additional release reporting. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 270.60(a)(3)(v) by requiring an annual report instead of a biennial report. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program by requiring additional release reporting for hazardous waste and used oil. 401 KAR 39:060, Section 5(6)(a)2 ....... 401 KAR 39:060, Section 5(7) ............. 401 KAR 39:060, Section 5(18) ........... 401 KAR 39:060, Section 6(1), 401 KAR 39:080, Section 5(1), and 401 KAR 39:090, Section 9(1). 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(2)(b) ......... 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(3) ............. 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(5)(b) ......... 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(6) ............. 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(8)(a) ......... daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(10)(b) ....... 401 KAR 39:080, Section 2(2)(b)2 ....... 401 KAR 39:080, Section 2(3) ............. 401 KAR 39:080, Section 3(4) .............

Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 262.18(d) by requiring annual generator registrations for small and large quantity generators as opposed to every two and four years. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 262.18(d) by requiring updates to the generator registration information to be submitted within thirty (30) days following any changes. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 262.17 by requiring that large and small quantity generators submit a Request to be Removed from the Hazardous Waste Handler List, DWM 7086, within ninety (90) days after hazardous waste generation ceases. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 262.41(a) by requiring annual reporting, as opposed to biennial reporting, and by requiring large and small quantity generators to submit a Hazardous Waste Annual Report Addendum, DWM 7072A, in addition to EPA Form 8700–13 A/B. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 262.14 by requiring very small quantity generators (VSQGs) to register with the Cabinet and obtain an EPA identification number prior to treating waste. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 263.11 by requiring the submission of a Registration of Hazardous Waste Transportation Activity, DWM 7053, in addition to EPA Form 8700– 12. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 263.30(c) by requiring additional release reporting to the Cabinet for hazardous waste transporters.

Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 264.304 and 40 CFR 265.303 by requiring additional release reporting for leak detection systems. Kentucky’s tables are more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR Part 266, Appendix I, Tables I–D and I–E, and Appendix V by establishing emissions screening limits and risk specific doses that are lower than the federal limits and doses. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 264.18(b) and 270.14(b)(11)(ii) by establishing additional requirements for facilities located in flood plains. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program by requiring that an insurer, upon request, must provide the Cabinet a duplicate copy of any insurance policy being used for financial assurance.

Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program by requiring that any reports or information required to be submitted to EPA must also be submitted to the Cabinet. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program by prohibiting waste, used oil, or material contaminated with dioxins or hazardous wastes to be used as a dust suppressant. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program by requiring that the import and export notifications referenced in 40 CFR 264.12(a) and 265.12(a) be submitted to both EPA and the Cabinet. Kentucky is more stringent than the federal program at 40 CFR 264.75 and 265.75 by requiring annual reporting, as opposed to biennial reporting, and by requiring owners and operators of treatment, storage, and disposal facilities to submit a Hazardous Waste Annual Report Addendum, DWM 7072A, in addition to EPA Form 8700–13 A/B. The Kentucky regulations also include several State requirements that go beyond the scope of the federal program. These requirements are not being authorized and are therefore not included in Table 2 above. Broader-inscope requirements are not part of the authorized program and EPA cannot enforce them. Although regulated entities must comply with these requirements in accordance with State law, they are not RCRA requirements. These broader-in-scope requirements are set forth in Table 4 below: TABLE 4 Kentucky broader in scope provisions Explanation 401 KAR 39:005, Section 1 ................. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program to the extent that certain Kentucky defined terms apply to wastes that are not hazardous under the federal program. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program at 40 CFR 260.22 by requiring payment of a fee for delisting petitions and by requiring compliance with Kentucky’s solid waste regulations for the excluded wastes. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program at 40 CFR part 261, subpart D, by including additional listed hazardous wastes. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program in its reference to special wastes being exempt from Kentucky’s hazardous waste management fund. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program at 40 CFR part 124 by requiring the permit applicant to reimburse the Cabinet for the costs of newspaper advertisements, duplication, and postage for public notices or distributions to a mailing list. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program at 40 CFR parts 124 and 270 by requiring additional approvals and determinations prior to the granting of a permit. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program at 40 CFR 270.10 by requiring the permit applicant to submit additional background and compliance information. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program at 40 CFR 270.14(b)(11) and 264.18 by requiring the permit applicant to evaluate surface and subsurface topography for solution or karst terrain and by requiring the submittal of liner test data. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program by requiring permit applicants to pay certain fees. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program by requiring generators to receive written approval from the Cabinet prior to treating hazardous waste on site. Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program by requiring additional reporting to local county governments by generators. 401 KAR 39:060, Sections 2(4) and (5) 401 KAR 39:060, Section 3(4) ............. 401 KAR 39:060, Section 3(9)(b) ......... 401 KAR 39:060, Section 5(3) ............. 401 KAR 39:060, Sections 5(8) and (9) daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS 401 KAR 39:060, Section 5(14) ........... 401 KAR 39:060, Sections 5(15) and (16). 401 KAR 39:060, Section 6(16) ........... 401 KAR 39:080, Sections 1(7)(a)2.–3. and (7)(b). 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(8)(b) .........

Kentucky is broader in scope than the federal program at 40 CFR 264.113 by requiring facilities to close if they are not operated for six months. 401 KAR 39:090, Sections 8(4)(b), and 8(5)(b). 8(2), 401 KAR 39:090, Section 8(8) ............. daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS The Kentucky hazardous waste regulations also include several additional provisions that, although relevant to the State’s implementation of its program, are outside the scope of authorization and are therefore not listed above. These provisions include the following: 401 KAR 39:060, Section 1; 401 KAR 39:060, Section 3(8); 401 KAR 39:060, Sections 5(2), (4)–(5), and (10); 401 KAR 39:060, Sections 6(2)–(9), (13)–(15), and (17)–(25); 401 KAR 39:060, Section 7; 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1(12); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 4(6) (to the extent this section incorporates U.S. Department of Transportation regulations) and (8)–(9); 401 KAR 39:080, Sections 5(2)–(5); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 6; 401 KAR 39:090, Section 7(10); 401 KAR 39:090, Sections 9(3)–(13), (18)–(22), and (24). In addition, the entirety of 401 KAR 39:120, which includes fee provisions and permit review and determination timetables, is either broader in scope or outside the scope of this authorization. EPA cannot delegate certain federal requirements associated with the land disposal restrictions at 40 CFR 268.5, 268.13, 268.40(b), 268.42(b), and 268.44(a)–(g). Kentucky has properly adopted these requirements and appropriately preserved the EPA’s authority to implement them (see 401 KAR 39:060, Section 4, and 401 KAR 39:005, Section 1(2)(b)). EPA cannot delegate certain federal requirements associated with the federal manifest registry system, the electronic manifest system, and international shipments (i.e., import and export provisions). Kentucky has adopted these requirements and appropriately preserved the EPA’s authority to implement them (see 401 KAR 39:005, Section 1(2), (23), and (58)). H. Who handles permits after the final authorization takes effect? Kentucky 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 issued prior to the effective date of VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:30 Sep 20, 2018 Jkt 244001 authorization until the State incorporates equivalent conditions from the federal permits into the State permits and the federal permits are terminated or expire. EPA will not issue any new permits or new portions of permits for the provisions listed in Table 1 above after the effective date of the final authorization. EPA will implement and issue permits for any future HSWA requirements for which Kentucky is not yet authorized until Kentucky adopts and becomes authorized for those requirements. I. What is codification and will EPA codify Kentucky’s hazardous waste program as proposed 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. EPA does this by referencing the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. EPA is not proposing to codify the authorization of Kentucky’s changes at this time. However, EPA reserves the amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart S, for the authorization of Kentucky’s program changes at a later date. J. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 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 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). This action proposes to authorize State requirements for the purpose of RCRA section 3006 and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. Therefore, this action is not subject to review by OMB. This action is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017) regulatory action because actions such as today’s proposed authorization of Kentucky’s revised hazardous waste program under RCRA are exempted under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this action proposes to authorize 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 (2 U.S.C. 1531– 1538). 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 proposes to authorize 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 section 3006(b), EPA grants a state’s application for authorization as long as the state meets the criteria required by RCRA. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for 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 E:\FR\FM\21SEP1.SGM 21SEP1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 184 / Friday, September 21, 2018 / Proposed Rules 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 proposing 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. EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988) by examining the takings implications of this action 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 action does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Executive Order 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. Because this action proposes authorization of pre-existing State rules which are at least equivalent to, and no less stringent than existing federal requirements, and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law, and there are no anticipated significant adverse human health or environmental effects, this proposed rule is not subject to Executive Order 12898.

Kentucky: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

[[Page 47859]]

SUMMARY: Kentucky has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) for final authorization of changes to its hazardous waste program 
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. 
EPA has reviewed Kentucky's application and has determined that these 
changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final 
authorization. Therefore, we are proposing to authorize the State's 
changes. EPA seeks public comment prior to taking final action.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 22, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
RCRA-2018-0527, at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from www.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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Why are revisions to State programs necessary?

    States that have received final authorization from EPA under RCRA 
section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must maintain a hazardous waste 
program that is equivalent to, consistent with, and no less stringent 
than the federal program. As the federal program changes, states must 
change their programs and ask EPA to authorize the changes. Changes to 
state programs may be necessary when federal or state statutory or 
regulatory authority is modified or when certain other changes occur, 
including revisions to state programs initiated by the states. 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.
    New federal requirements and prohibitions imposed by federal 
regulations that EPA promulgates pursuant to the Hazardous and Solid 
Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) take effect in authorized states at the 
same time that they take effect in unauthorized states. Thus, EPA 
implements those requirements and prohibitions in the states, including 
the issuance of new permits implementing those requirements, until the 
states are granted authorization to do so.

B. What decisions has EPA made in this rule?

    On April 13, 2018, Kentucky submitted a program revision 
application seeking authorization of changes to its hazardous waste 
program in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. In particular, Kentucky is 
seeking authorization for updated State regulations addressing all 
federal RCRA regulations through June 30, 2017. EPA concludes that 
Kentucky's application to revise its authorized program meets all of 
the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA, as set 
forth in RCRA section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), and 40 CFR part 271. 
Therefore, EPA proposes to grant Kentucky final authorization to 
operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in its 
authorization application, and as outlined below in Section F of this 
document.
    Kentucky currently has responsibility for permitting treatment, 
storage, and disposal facilities within its borders and for carrying 
out the aspects of the RCRA program described in its revised program 
application, subject to the limitations of HSWA. Upon authorization of 
the changes contained in Kentucky's program revision application, 
Kentucky will gain permitting responsibility for the additional HSWA 
requirements contained in its application as discussed in Section C 
below.

C. What is the effect of this proposed authorization decision?

    If Kentucky is authorized for the changes described in Kentucky's 
authorization application, these changes will become part of the 
authorized State hazardous waste program, and therefore will be 
federally enforceable. Kentucky will continue to have primary 
enforcement authority and responsibility for its State hazardous waste 
program. Upon authorization for certain HSWA provisions included in 
Kentucky's application, including organic air emissions standards, 
boiler and industrial furnace requirements, and land disposal 
restrictions, Kentucky will assume permitting responsibility for these 
portions of the RCRA program from EPA. EPA and the State will 
coordinate the transfer of permitting responsibility for any existing 
federal permits from EPA to the State upon final authorization.
    EPA will retain its authorities under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 
3013, and 7003, including its authority to:
     Conduct inspections, and require monitoring, tests, 
analyses, or reports;
     Enforce RCRA requirements, including authorized State 
program requirements, and suspend or revoke permits; and
     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 EPA is proposing 
to authorize Kentucky are already effective, and are not changed by 
today's proposed action.

D. What happens if EPA receives comments that oppose this action?

    EPA will evaluate any comments received on this proposed action and 
will make a final decision on approval or disapproval of Kentucky's 
proposed authorization. Our decision will be published in the 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 Kentucky previously been authorized for?

    Kentucky initially received final authorization on January 17, 
1985, effective January 31, 1985 (50 FR 2550), to implement the RCRA 
hazardous waste management program. EPA granted authorization for 
changes to Kentucky's program on the following dates: October 20, 1988, 
effective December 19, 1988 (53 FR 41164); January 18, 1989, effective 
March 20, 1989 (54 FR 1940); March 16, 1989, effective May 15, 1989 (54 
FR 10986); October 30, 1992, effective December 29, 1992 (57 FR 49140); 
January 10, 1995, effective March 13, 1995 (60 FR 2534); April 26,

effective July 22, 1996 (61 FR 25799); and December 26, 2001, effective 
February 25, 2002 (66 FR 66340).

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

    Kentucky's hazardous waste program was previously codified in 166 
regulations set forth at Title 401 of the Kentucky Administrative 
Regulations (KAR) Chapters 31 through 39, 43, and 44. Kentucky 
promulgated revised hazardous waste regulations, effective on December 
7, 2017, which condensed these former hazardous waste regulations into 
five regulations found at 401 KAR Chapter 39. Kentucky's regulations at 
401 KAR Chapter 39 adopt the majority of Title 40 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations, parts 260 through 270, 273, and 279, via 
incorporation by reference. The Kentucky regulations and associated 
federal analogs are: 401 KAR 39:005 (40 CFR 260.10); 401 KAR 39:060, 
Section 2 (40 CFR part 260); 401 KAR 39:060, Section 3 (40 CFR part 
261); 401 KAR 39:060, Section 4 (40 CFR part 268); 401 KAR 39:060, 
Section 5 (40 CFR parts 124 and 270); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 1 (40 CFR 
part 262); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 2 (40 CFR part 263); 401 KAR 39:080, 
Section 3 (40 CFR part 273); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 4 (40 CFR part 
279); 401 KAR 39:090, Section 1 (40 CFR part 264); 401 KAR 39:090, 
Section 2 (40 CFR part 265); 401 KAR 39:090, Section 3 (40 CFR part 
266); and 401 KAR 39:090, Section 4 (40 CFR part 267).
    On April 13, 2018, Kentucky submitted a program revision 
application, seeking authorization of its newly condensed hazardous 
waste regulations. The additions to the Kentucky program include older 
federal rules not previously adopted and/or authorized, as well as 
newly promulgated federal rules. EPA proposes to determine, subject to 
receipt of written comments that oppose this action, that Kentucky's 
hazardous waste program revisions are equivalent to, consistent with, 
and no less stringent than the federal program, and therefore satisfy 
all of the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. 
EPA's approval of the revised format of the regulations at 401 KAR 
Chapter 39 does not impact EPA's prior authorization decisions, and all 
previously authorized federal rules remain federally authorized.
    EPA is proposing to authorize Kentucky for the federal regulations 
listed in Table 1 below. The State regulations which EPA is proposing 
to authorize are included in Table 2, along with their federal analogs.

 Improvements.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ A ``checklist'' is developed by EPA for each federal rule amending
  the RCRA regulations. The checklists document the changes made by each
  federal rule and are presented and numbered in chronological order by
  date of promulgation.
\2\ The analogous State authority for Checklist SI is Kentucky Revised
  Statutes (KRS) 224.10-212 and 224.10-100(14). The State analogs for
  the remaining checklists are listed in Table 2 below.
\3\ Checklist 58 has been superseded by Checklist 207, the Uniform
  Hazardous Waste Manifest Rule, also included in this proposed
  authorization.
\4\ Certain federal rules cited in this Table 1, such as the rules
  identified by Checklists 103, 106, and 116, among others, address land
  disposal restriction capacity variances and other federal rules that
  may have been subsequently amended. As a result, authorization of
  these rules may be moot. However, for purposes of completeness, the
  rules are included above. However, if a federal rule has been vacated
  or withdrawn, it is not listed in Table 1 above and will not be
  authorized.
\5\ Checklist 117A has been superseded by Checklist 192A, the Final
  Mixture and Derived-From Rule, which is also included in this proposed
  authorization.
\6\ Kentucky adopts the 2015 Definition of Solid Waste (DSW) Rule and
  the 2018 amendments to the DSW Rule, at 401 KAR 39:005, Section 1, and
  39:060, Sections 2, 3 and 5. Because Kentucky adopts the analogous
  provisions of 40 CFR parts 260, 261, and 270 prospectively, Kentucky's
  2017 regulations appropriately adopt the 2018 amendments to the DSW
  Rule.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ The Kentucky regulatory provisions are from the Kentucky hazardous
  waste regulations, effective December 7, 2017.
\8\ Kentucky's application notes an error to be corrected within the
  definition of ``disposal'' at 401 KAR 39:005, Section 1(21). The term
  ``disposal'' is defined at KRS 224.1-010(9), not at KRS 224.1-010(8)
  as stated in the current version of the regulation.
\9\ 401 KAR 39:090, Section 1(1), replaces Table 1 of 40 CFR 264.94 with
  the current federal Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), which is
  functionally equivalent to the federal provision at 40 CFR 264.94.
  Kentucky's application also notes an error to be corrected in Table 1
  of the Kentucky regulation. The correct maximum concentration level
  for lead in groundwater should be 0.015 mg/l.
\10\ EPA is only proposing to authorize 401 KAR 39:080, Section 4(6), to
  the extent it requires additional reporting for used oil transporters.
  The incorporation of other transportation regulations is outside the
  scope of this authorization.
\11\ EPA is proposing to authorize these additional State provisions
  because they relate to, and help to implement, other provisions of the
  Kentucky hazardous waste program set forth in this Table 2.

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

    Although Kentucky incorporates the federal regulations by 
reference, Kentucky's regulations also include certain additions, 
which, if listed in Table 2 above, EPA has determined to be consistent 
with the federal program.
    There are also aspects of the Kentucky program which are more 
stringent than the federal program. All of these more stringent 
requirements will become part of the federally enforceable RCRA program 
when authorized. These more stringent requirements are set forth in 
Table 3 below:

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

    The Kentucky regulations also include several State requirements 
that go beyond the scope of the federal program. These requirements are 
not being authorized and are therefore not included in Table 2 above. 
Broader-in-scope requirements are not part of the authorized program 
and EPA cannot enforce them. Although regulated entities must comply 
with these requirements in accordance with State law, they are not RCRA 
requirements. These broader-in-scope requirements are set forth in 
Table 4 below:

                                Kentucky's hazardous waste management
                                fund.
401 KAR 39:060, Section 5(3).  Kentucky is broader in scope than the
                                federal program at 40 CFR part 124 by

401 KAR 39:060, Section 5(14)  Kentucky is broader in scope than the
                                federal program at 40 CFR 270.10 by
                                requiring the permit applicant to submit
                                additional background and compliance
                                information.
401 KAR 39:060, Sections       Kentucky is broader in scope than the
 5(15) and (16).                federal program at 40 CFR 270.14(b)(11)
                                and 264.18 by requiring the permit
                                applicant to evaluate surface and
                                subsurface topography for solution or
                                karst terrain and by requiring the
                                submittal of liner test data.
401 KAR 39:060, Section 6(16)  Kentucky is broader in scope than the
                                federal program by requiring permit

401 KAR 39:080, Sections       Kentucky is broader in scope than the
 1(7)(a)2.-3. and (7)(b).       federal program by requiring generators
                                to receive written approval from the
                                Cabinet prior to treating hazardous
                                waste on site.

401 KAR 39:090, Section 6....  The additional chemical demilitarization
                                requirements for Kentucky-specific
                                listed wastes are broader in scope than
                                the federal program.
401 KAR 39:090, Sections       Although the additional corrective action
 8(2), 8(4)(b), and 8(5)(b).    requirements at 401 KAR 39:090, Section
                                8, are more stringent, the fee
                                provisions included in those
                                requirements are broader in scope than
                                the federal program.
401 KAR 39:090, Section 8(8).  Kentucky is broader in scope than the
                                federal program at 40 CFR 264.113 by

                                are not operated for six months.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Kentucky hazardous waste regulations also include several 
additional provisions that, although relevant to the State's 
implementation of its program, are outside the scope of authorization 
and are therefore not listed above. These provisions include the 
following: 401 KAR 39:060, Section 1; 401 KAR 39:060, Section 3(8); 401 
KAR 39:060, Sections 5(2), (4)-(5), and (10); 401 KAR 39:060, Sections 
6(2)-(9), (13)-(15), and (17)-(25); 401 KAR 39:060, Section 7; 401 KAR 
39:080, Section 1(12); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 4(6) (to the extent this 
section incorporates U.S. Department of Transportation regulations) and 
(8)-(9); 401 KAR 39:080, Sections 5(2)-(5); 401 KAR 39:080, Section 6; 
401 KAR 39:090, Section 7(10); 401 KAR 39:090, Sections 9(3)-(13), 
(18)-(22), and (24). In addition, the entirety of 401 KAR 39:120, which 
includes fee provisions and permit review and determination timetables, 
is either broader in scope or outside the scope of this authorization.
    EPA cannot delegate certain federal requirements associated with 
the land disposal restrictions at 40 CFR 268.5, 268.13, 268.40(b), 
268.42(b), and 268.44(a)-(g). Kentucky has properly adopted these 
requirements and appropriately preserved the EPA's authority to 
implement them (see 401 KAR 39:060, Section 4, and 401 KAR 39:005, 
Section 1(2)(b)).
    EPA cannot delegate certain federal requirements associated with 
the federal manifest registry system, the electronic manifest system, 
and international shipments (i.e., import and export provisions). 
Kentucky has adopted these requirements and appropriately preserved the 
EPA's authority to implement them (see 401 KAR 39:005, Section 1(2), 
(23), and (58)).

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

    Kentucky 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 issued prior to the effective date of authorization until the 
State incorporates equivalent conditions from the federal permits into 
the State permits and the federal permits are terminated or expire. EPA 
will not issue any new permits or new portions of permits for the 
provisions listed in Table 1 above after the effective date of the 
final authorization. EPA will implement and issue permits for any 
future HSWA requirements for which Kentucky is not yet authorized until 
Kentucky adopts and becomes authorized for those requirements.

I. What is codification and will EPA codify Kentucky's hazardous waste 
program as proposed 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. EPA does this by 
referencing the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. EPA is not 
proposing to codify the authorization of Kentucky's changes at this 
time. However, EPA reserves the amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart 
S, for the authorization of Kentucky's program changes at a later date.

J. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    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 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011). This action proposes to 
authorize State requirements for the purpose of RCRA section 3006 and 
imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. 
Therefore, this action is not subject to review by OMB. This action is 
not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 3, 2017) regulatory 
action because actions such as today's proposed authorization of 
Kentucky's revised hazardous waste program under RCRA are exempted 
under Executive Order 12866. 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 proposes to authorize 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 
(2 U.S.C. 1531-1538). 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 proposes to authorize 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 section 3006(b), EPA grants a state's application for 
authorization as long as the state meets the criteria required by RCRA. 
It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for 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

[[Page 47867]]

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 proposing 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. EPA has complied 
with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988) by examining 
the takings implications of this action 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 action does not impose an information collection burden 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq.). ``Burden'' is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Executive 
Order 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. Because this action proposes authorization of pre-
existing State rules which are at least equivalent to, and no less 
stringent than existing federal requirements, and imposes no additional 
requirements beyond those imposed by State law, and there are no 
anticipated significant adverse human health or environmental effects, 
this proposed rule is not subject to Executive Order 12898.
