II. What action is the Agency taking? In the Federal Register of August 2, 2019 (84 FR 37818) (FRL–9996–78), EPA issued a document pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 8F8708) by E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company, 974 Centre Road, Wilmington, DE 19805. EPA’s notice stated that the petition requested that the Agency establish tolerances for residues of the insecticide indoxacarb in or on corn, pop, grain at 0.02 parts per million (ppm) and corn, pop, stover at 15 ppm. In a comment submitted to the docket for that notice, FMC Corporation informed the Agency that although the August 2, 2019 notice identified E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company as the petitioner, FMC Corporation had actually submitted the petition to the Agency requesting the indoxacarb tolerances. In addition, FMC Corporation noted that the summary of the petition included in the docket for this action was not the petition that FMC Corporation had submitted requesting tolerances for residues of indoxacarb on popcorn, but rather, it was a resubmission of the 2016 E:\FR\FM\25FEP1.SGM 25FEP1 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 37 / Tuesday, February 25, 2020 / Proposed Rules 40 CFR Part 271 RCRA–2019–0673, at https:// www.regulations.gov.

[FR Doc. 2020–03637 Filed 2–24–20; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560–50–P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Florida: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: Florida 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 Florida’s application and has determined, subject to public comment, 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 March 26, 2020. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R04– jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:31 Feb 24, 2020 Jkt 250001 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 PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 10643 implement those requirements and prohibitions in Florida, 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 proposed rule? Florida submitted a final complete program revision application, dated September 16, 2019, seeking authorization of changes to its hazardous waste program that correspond to certain Federal rules promulgated between July 1, 2017 and June 30, 2019 (including RCRA Clusters 1 XXVI, XXVII, and the May 30, 2018 Amendments to Checklist 2 233 from Cluster XXIV, Response to Vacatur of Certain Provisions of the Definition of Solid Waste Rule).3 EPA concludes that Florida’s application to revise its authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established under 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 Florida final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in the authorization application, and as outlined below in Section F of this document. Florida has responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, and disposal facilities within its borders (except in Indian country, as defined at 18 U.S.C. 1151) and for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA program described in its program revision application, subject to the limitations of HSWA, as discussed above. C. What is the effect of this proposed authorization decision? If Florida is authorized for the changes described in Florida’s authorization application, these changes will become part of the authorized State hazardous waste program, and will therefore be federally enforceable. Florida will continue to have primary enforcement authority and responsibility for its State hazardous waste program. EPA would maintain its authorities under RCRA sections 3007, 1 A ‘‘cluster’’ is a grouping of hazardous waste rules that EPA promulgates from July 1st of one year to June 30th of the following year. 2 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. 3 Florida was originally authorized for Checklist 233 on May 10, 2019, but deemed to be broader in scope than the Federal program given that it only adopted the 2015 Revisions to the Definition of Solid Waste Rule. With Florida’s adoption of the May 2018 revisions, it is now equivalent to the Federal program. E:\FR\FM\25FEP1.SGM 25FEP1

    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental

who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other 
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human 
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticides

II. What action is the Agency taking?

    In the Federal Register of August 2, 2019 (84 FR 37818) (FRL-9996-
78), EPA issued a document pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), 
announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (PP 8F8708) by E.I. 
DuPont de Nemours and Company, 974 Centre Road, Wilmington, DE 19805. 
EPA's notice stated that the petition requested that the Agency 
establish tolerances for residues of the insecticide indoxacarb in or 
on corn, pop, grain at 0.02 parts per million (ppm) and corn, pop, 
stover at 15 ppm.
    In a comment submitted to the docket for that notice, FMC 
Corporation informed the Agency that although the August 2, 2019 notice 
identified E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company as the petitioner, FMC 
Corporation had actually submitted the petition to the Agency 
requesting the indoxacarb tolerances. In addition, FMC Corporation 
noted that the summary of the petition included in the docket for this 
action was not the petition that FMC Corporation had submitted 
requesting tolerances for residues of indoxacarb on popcorn, but 
rather, it was a resubmission of the 2016

[[Page 10643]]

summary of the petition from E.I. DuPont de Nemours and Company for the 
other corn commodities. Subsequently, FMC Corporation submitted a 
revised petition requesting tolerances for residues of indoxacarb in or 
on corn, pop, grain at 0.02 ppm and corn, pop, stover at 15 ppm. Upon 
receiving the corrected petition, EPA determined that the petition 
contains the data or information prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 
21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2). EPA is now publishing notice of that receipt for 
public comment pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA. The summary of 
the petition (pesticide petition 8F8708) as drafted and submitted by 
FMC Corporation, 2929 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104, is 
included in the docket for this petition, at https://www.regulations.gov 
with the docket identification number EPA-HQ-OPP-2019-0384. After 
considering public comments, EPA intends to evaluate whether and what 
action may be warranted.
