Texas: Proposed Authorization of State-Initiated Changes and Incorporation by Reference of State Hazardous Waste Management Program, 32852-32853 [2019-14422]

Download as PDF 32852 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 10, 2019 / Proposed Rules Additionally, Georgia’s July 31, 2018, SIP revision makes changes to Rule 391–3–1–.02(2)(c), ‘‘Incinerators.’’ The change updates rule titles for Hospital/ Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators, Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste, and Sewage Sludge Incinerators in Subparagraphs (6)(iv), (v), (vi), (vii), and (xiii). Lastly, a typographical edit is made to Rule 391–3–1–.03(11)(b)(11), ‘‘Peanut/Nut Shelling Operations’’ at Subparagraph (i)(II). EPA is proposing to approve these changes because they are minor and clarifying changes that do not relax or alter the meaning of the rules. III. Incorporation by Reference In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference the GA EPD Rule 391–3–1–.01, ‘‘Definitions,’’ Rule 391–3–.02(2)(c), ‘‘Incinerators,’’ and Rule 391–3–1– .03(11) ‘‘Permit by Rule,’’ which clarifies the rule by updating rule titles and making typographical corrections, state effective June 18, 2018. 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). jspears on DSK30JT082PROD with PROPOSALS IV. Proposed Action EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned changes to Georgia August 2, 2018, SIP submittal that make changes to Rule 391–3–1–.01, ‘‘Definitions,’’ Rule 391–3–.02(2)(c), ‘‘Incinerators,’’ and Rule 391–3–1– .03(11) ‘‘Permit by Rule.’’ EPA views these changes as being consistent with the CAA. 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, VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:40 Jul 09, 2019 Jkt 247001 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); • 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.

This rule established conditions for evaluating a harvesting nation’s regulatory programs to address incidental and intentional mortality and serious injury of marine mammals in fisheries operated by nations that export fish and fish products to the United States. In that rule’s preamble, NMFS stated that it may consider emergency rulemaking to ban imports of fish and fish products from an export or exempt fishery having or likely to have an immediate and significant adverse impact on a marine mammal stock.
