SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July
24, 2019, FNS published in the Federal
Register (84 FR 35570) a proposed rule
to refine categorical eligibility
requirements based on receipt of TANF
benefits. Specifically, FNS proposed: (1)
To define ‘‘benefits’’ for categorical
eligibility to mean ongoing and
substantial benefits; and (2) to limit the
types of non-cash TANF benefits
conferring categorical eligibility to those
that focus on subsidized employment,
work supports and childcare. The
proposed rule would also require State
agencies to inform FNS of all non-cash
TANF benefits that confer categorical
eligibility. FNS has provided an
additional supplemental analysis on
www.regulations.gov regarding the
potential impacts on participants in the
National School Lunch Program and
School Breakfast Program. This
informational analysis, which was
prepared upon request after the
proposed rule was published, is being
posted to the docket in the interest of
public transparency. This analysis has
now been published on
www.regulations.gov as part of Docket
FNS–2018–0037. FNS is extending the
comment period to provide the public
an opportunity to review and provide
comment on this document as part of
the rulemaking record. This document
notifies the public FNS is reopening the
comment period. For additional

The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to authorize
changes California has made to its
hazardous waste program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA), as amended. EPA reviewed
California’s application for

A. Why are revisions to state programs
necessary?
California: Authorization of State
Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions
SUMMARY:

email at Amaro.Laurie@epa.gov. You

Agency, Department of Toxic
Substances Control, 1001 ‘‘I’’ Street,

Attention: Carmela Torres, Phone (916)
322–7893, from 8 a.m. to noon and 1
p.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday
(appointment preferred but not
required).
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. 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 will
implement those requirements and
prohibitions in California, including the
issuance of new permits implementing
those requirements, until the state is
granted authorization to do so.
B. What decisions has EPA made in this
rule?
On July 10, 2019, California submitted
a program revision application to EPA
seeking authorization of changes to its
hazardous waste management program
that correspond to certain Federal rules
related to the universal waste rule
initially promulgated by EPA on May
11,1995 (63 FR 60 FR 25492) and
amended on July 6, 1999 (64 FR 36466),
December 24, 1998 (63 FR 71225),
August 5, 2005 (70 FR 45508) and July
14, 2006 (71 FR 40254). These
regulatory changes are also known as
RCRA rule checklists 142A, 142B, 142D,
142E, 176, 181 and 209. EPA concludes
that California’s application to revise its
authorized program meets all statutory
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702

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 California final authorization to
operate its hazardous waste program
with the changes described in the
authorization application dated July 10,
2019, and as outlined below in Section
F of this document.
California has responsibility for
permitting treatment, storage, and
disposal facilities 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 HSWA, as discussed
above.
C. What is the effect of this
authorization decision?
If California is authorized for the
changes described in the State’s
authorization application, these changes
would become part of the authorized
State hazardous waste program and
would therefore be federally
enforceable. California will continue to
have primary enforcement authority and
responsibility for its State hazardous
waste program. EPA would 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 California program
requirements, and suspend or revoke
permits; and
• Take enforcement actions regardless
of whether the State has taken its own
actions.
This action does not impose
additional requirements on the
regulated community because the
regulations for which California is being
authorized by today’s action are already
effective and are not changed by today’s
action.
D. What happens if EPA receives
comments that oppose this proposed
action?
EPA will consider all comments
received during the comment period
and address them in a 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.
E. What has California previously been
authorized for?
California initially received final
authorization for the state hazardous
waste management program on July 23,
1992, effective August 1, 1992 (57 FR
