SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The LGAC has been deliberating on the following issues and will discuss and vote on draft recommendations for each at this meeting. 1. As EPA works to support the water workforce, how can we ensure that we are making effective and efficient investments. The EPA asks the LGAC to advise on the following ways to support: —Training and apprenticeship opportunities —New and innovative ways to recruit and retain employees —Targeted resources for utilities and municipalities —Ways to streamline certification requirements —New or adapted partnerships with states, municipalities, tribes, territories, industry, nonprofit organizations and/or academia 2. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) allocates significant funding for greenhouse gas reduction programs, which will help states, tribes, territories, and local governments take action against climate change through grant programs, technical assistance, code development, and more. At the same time, it allocates $1 billion to cover the incremental costs of replacing dirty medium and heavy-duty vehicles zeroemitting vehicles. What information and resources do local governments need to pursue such initiatives, specifically those that reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the decarbonization of municipal fleets and buildings? As EPA implements this new program, how can it ensure that local communities and their concerns are supported? Additionally, the LGAC will hear recommendations developed by its Small Communities Advisory Subcommittee (SCAS) on the following topic: How can EPA better support small communities as it implements the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Specifically, how can EPA: —Support clean and sustainable air, water, and land priorities for small and rural communities —Support capacity needs/advancement for small and rural communities —Ensure long-lasting communication between EPA and local officials from small and rural communities —Ensure small communities are positioned to benefit from this generational investment in environmental infrastructure All interested persons are invited to attend and participate.

CERCLA section 103(a) requires the owner or operator of a vessel or onshore or offshore facility to notify the National Response Center (NRC) of any spill or other release of a hazardous substance that equals or exceeds a reportable quantity (RQ), as defined by CERCLA section 101. Additionally, CERCLA section 103(c) requires facilities that have ‘‘stored, treated, or disposed of’’ hazardous wastes and where there is ‘‘known, suspected, or likely releases’’ of hazardous substances to report their activities to EPA. CERCLA section 120(d) requires EPA to take steps to assure that a Preliminary Assessment (PA) be completed for those sites identified in the Docket and that the evaluation and listing of sites with a PA be completed within a reasonable time frame. The PA is designed to provide information for EPA to consider when evaluating the site for potential response action or inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL). The Docket serves three major purposes: (1) To identify all Federal facilities that must be evaluated to determine whether they pose a threat to human health and the environment sufficient to warrant inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL); (2) to compile and maintain the information submitted to EPA on such facilities under the provisions listed in section 120(c) of CERCLA; and (3) to provide a mechanism to make the information available to the public.

CERCLA section 120, as amended by the Defense Authorization Act of 1997, specifies that EPA take steps to assure that a Preliminary Assessment (PA) be completed within a reasonable time frame for those Federal facilities that are included on the Docket. Among other things, the PA is designed to provide information for EPA to consider when evaluating the site for potential response action or listing on the NPL. This notice includes one addition. 3.2 Deletions There are no statutory or regulatory provisions that address deletion of a facility from the Docket. However, if a facility is incorrectly included on the Docket, it may be deleted from the Docket. The criteria EPA uses in deleting sites from the Docket include: a facility for which there was an incorrect report submitted for hazardous waste activity under RCRA (e.g., 40 CFR 262.44); a facility that was not Federally-owned or operated at the time of the listing; a facility included more than once (i.e., redundant listings); or when multiple facilities are combined under one listing. (See Docket Codes (Reasons for Deletion of Facilities) for a more refined list of the criteria EPA uses for deleting sites from the Docket.) Facilities being deleted no longer will be subject to the requirements of CERCLA section 120(d). This notice includes one deletion. 3.3 Corrections Changes necessary to correct the previous Docket are identified by both EPA and Federal agencies. The corrections section may include changes in addresses or spelling, and corrections of the recorded name and ownership of a Federal facility. In addition, changes in the names of Federal facilities may be made to establish consistency in the Docket or between the Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS) and the Docket. For the Federal facility for which a correction is entered, the original entry is as it appeared in E:\FR\FM\24OCN1.SGM 24OCN1 64216 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 204 / Monday, October 24, 2022 / Notices previous Docket updates. The corrected update is shown directly below, for easy comparison. This notice includes zero corrections. 4.0 Process for Compiling the Updated Docket In compiling the newly reported Federal facilities for the update being published in this notice, EPA extracted the names, addresses, and identification numbers of facilities from four EPA databases—the WebEOC, the Biennial Inventory of Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Activities, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information System (RCRAInfo), and SEMS—that contain information about Federal facilities submitted under the four provisions listed in CERCLA section 120(c). EPA assures the quality of the information on the Docket by conducting extensive evaluation of the current Docket list and contacts the other Federal Agency (OFA) with the information obtained from the databases identified above to determine which Federal facilities were, in fact, newly reported and qualified for inclusion on the update. EPA is also striving to correct errors for Federal facilities that were previously reported. For example, state-owned or privately-owned facilities that are not operated by the Federal government may have been included. Such problems are sometimes caused by procedures historically used to report and track Federal facilities data. Representatives of Federal agencies are asked to contact the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice if revisions of this update information are necessary. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 5.0 Facilities Not Included Certain categories of facilities may not be included on the Docket, such as: (1) Federal facilities formerly owned by a Federal agency that at the time of consideration was not Federally-owned or operated; (2) Federal facilities that are small quantity generators (SQGs) that have not, more than once per calendar year, generated more than 1,000 kg of hazardous waste in any single month; (3) Federal facilities that are very small quantity generators (VSQGs) that have never generated more than 100 kg of hazardous waste in any month; (4) Federal facilities that are solely hazardous waste transportation facilities, as reported under RCRA section 3010; and (5) Federal facilities that have mixed mine or mill site ownership. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:07 Oct 21, 2022 Jkt 259001 An EPA policy issued in June 2003 provided guidance for a site-by-site evaluation as to whether ‘‘mixed ownership’’ mine or mill sites, typically created as a result of activities conducted pursuant to the General Mining Law of 1872 and never reported under section 103(a) of CERCLA, should be included on the Docket. For purposes of that policy, mixed ownership mine or mill sites are those located partially on private land and partially on public land. This policy is found at https:// www.epa.gov/fedfac/policy-listingmixed-ownership-mine-or-mill-sitescreated-result-general-mining-law-1872. The policy of not including these facilities may change; facilities now omitted may be added at some point if EPA determines that they should be included. 6.0 Facility NPL Status Reporting, Including NFRAP Status EPA tracks the NPL status of Federal facilities listed on the Docket. An updated list of the NPL status of all Docket facilities, as well as their NFRAP status, is available at https:// www.epa.gov/fedfac/fedfacts or by contacting the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice. In prior updates, information regarding NFRAP status changes was provided separately. 7.0 Information Contained on Docket Listing The information is provided in three tables. The first table is a list of additional Federal facilities that are being added to the Docket. The second table is a list of Federal facilities that are being deleted from the Docket. The third table is for corrections. The Federal facilities listed in each table are organized by the date reported. Under each heading is listed the name and address of the facility, the Federal agency responsible for the facility, the statutory provision(s) under which the facility was reported to EPA, and a code.2 The statutory provisions under which a Federal facility is reported are listed in a column titled ‘‘Reporting Mechanism.’’ Applicable mechanisms are listed for each Federal facility: for example, Sections 3005, 3010, 3016, 103(c), or Other. ‘‘Other’’ has been added as a reporting mechanism to indicate those Federal facilities that otherwise have been identified to have releases or threat of releases of 2 Each Federal facility listed in the update has been assigned a code that indicates a specific reason for the addition or deletion. The code precedes this list. PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 hazardous substances. The National Contingency Plan at 40 CFR 300.405 addresses discovery or notification, outlines what constitutes discovery of a hazardous substance release, and states that a release may be discovered in several ways, including: (1) A report submitted in accordance with section 103(a) of CERCLA, i.e., reportable quantities codified at 40 CFR 302; (2) a report submitted to EPA in accordance with section 103(c) of CERCLA; (3) investigation by government authorities conducted in accordance with section 104(e) of CERCLA or other statutory authority; (4) notification of a release by a Federal or state permit holder when required by its permit; (5) inventory or survey efforts or random or incidental observation reported by government agencies or the public; (6) submission of a citizen petition to EPA or the appropriate Federal facility requesting a preliminary assessment, in accordance with section 105(d) of CERCLA; (7) a report submitted in accordance with section 311(b)(5) of the Clean Water Act; and (8) other sources. As a policy matter, EPA generally believes it is appropriate for Federal facilities identified through the CERCLA discovery and notification process to be included on the Docket. The complete list of Federal facilities that now make up the Docket and the NPL and NFRAP status are available to interested parties and can be obtained at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/fedfacts or by contacting the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice. As of the date of this notice, the total number of Federal facilities that appear on the Docket is 2,391.

Forty-Second Update of the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste 
Compliance Docket

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Since 1988, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has 
maintained a Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket 
(``Docket'') under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, 
Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). CERCLA requires EPA to 
establish a Docket that contains certain information reported to EPA by 
Federal facilities that manage hazardous waste or from which a 
reportable quantity of hazardous substances has been released. This 
notice identifies the Federal facilities not previously listed on the 
Docket and identifies Federal facilities reported to EPA since the last 
update on April 26, 2021. In addition to the list of additions to the 
Docket, this notice includes a section with revisions of the previous 
Docket list and a section of Federal facilities that are to be deleted 
from the Docket. Thus, the revisions in this update include one 
addition, one deletion, and zero corrections to the Docket since the 
previous update.

DATES: This list is current as of October 5, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Electronic versions of the Docket and 
more information on its implementation can be obtained at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket by 
clicking on the link for Cleanups at Federal Facilities or by

1.0 Introduction

    Section 120(c) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9620(c), as amended by the 
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA), requires 
EPA to establish the Federal Agency Hazardous Waste Compliance Docket. 
The Docket contains information on Federal facilities that manage 
hazardous waste and such information is submitted by Federal agencies 
to EPA under sections 3005, 3010, and 3016 of the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. 6925, 6930, and 6937. Additionally, 
the Docket contains information on Federal facilities with a reportable 
quantity of hazardous substances that has been released and such 
information is submitted by Federal agencies to EPA under section 103 
of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9603. Specifically, RCRA section 3005 establishes 
a permitting system for certain hazardous waste treatment, storage, and 
disposal (TSD) facilities; RCRA section 3010 requires waste

[[Page 64215]]

generators, transporters and TSD facilities to notify EPA of their 
hazardous waste activities; and RCRA section 3016 requires Federal 
agencies to submit biennially to EPA an inventory of their Federal 
hazardous waste facilities. CERCLA section 103(a) requires the owner or 
operator of a vessel or onshore or offshore facility to notify the 
National Response Center (NRC) of any spill or other release of a 
hazardous substance that equals or exceeds a reportable quantity (RQ), 
as defined by CERCLA section 101. Additionally, CERCLA section 103(c) 
requires facilities that have ``stored, treated, or disposed of'' 
hazardous wastes and where there is ``known, suspected, or likely 
releases'' of hazardous substances to report their activities to EPA.
    CERCLA section 120(d) requires EPA to take steps to assure that a 
Preliminary Assessment (PA) be completed for those sites identified in 
the Docket and that the evaluation and listing of sites with a PA be 
completed within a reasonable time frame. The PA is designed to provide 
information for EPA to consider when evaluating the site for potential 
response action or inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL).
    The Docket serves three major purposes: (1) To identify all Federal 
facilities that must be evaluated to determine whether they pose a 
threat to human health and the environment sufficient to warrant 
inclusion on the National Priorities List (NPL); (2) to compile and 
maintain the information submitted to EPA on such facilities under the 
provisions listed in section 120(c) of CERCLA; and (3) to provide a 
mechanism to make the information available to the public. Previous 
Docket updates are available at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/previous-federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket-updates.
    This notice provides some background information on the Docket. 
Additional information on the Docket requirements and implementation 
are found in the Docket Reference Manual, Federal Agency Hazardous 
Waste Compliance Docket found at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/docket-reference-manual-federal-agency-hazardous-waste-compliance-docket-interim-final or obtained by calling the Regional Docket Coordinators 
listed below. This notice also provides changes to the list of sites 
included on the Docket in three areas: (1) Additions, (2) Deletions, 
and (3) Corrections. Specifically, additions are newly identified 
Federal facilities that have been reported to EPA since the last update 
and now are included on the Docket; the deletions section lists Federal

3.0 Revisions of the Previous Docket

    This section includes a discussion of the additions, deletions and 
corrections to the list of Docket facilities since the previous Docket 
update.

3.1 Additions

    These Federal facilities are being added primarily because of new 
information obtained by EPA (for example, recent reporting of a 
facility pursuant to RCRA sections 3005, 3010, or 3016 or CERCLA 
section 103). CERCLA section 120, as amended by the Defense 
Authorization Act of 1997, specifies that EPA take steps to assure that 
a Preliminary Assessment (PA) be completed within a reasonable time 
frame for those Federal facilities that are included on the Docket. 
Among other things, the PA is designed to provide information for EPA 
to consider when evaluating the site for potential response action or 
listing on the NPL. This notice includes one addition.

3.2 Deletions

    There are no statutory or regulatory provisions that address 
deletion of a facility from the Docket. However, if a facility is 
incorrectly included on the Docket, it may be deleted from the Docket. 
The criteria EPA uses in deleting sites from the Docket include: a 
facility for which there was an incorrect report submitted for 
hazardous waste activity under RCRA (e.g., 40 CFR 262.44); a facility 
that was not Federally-owned or operated at the time of the listing; a 
facility included more than once (i.e., redundant listings); or when 
multiple facilities are combined under one listing. (See Docket Codes 
(Reasons for Deletion of Facilities) for a more refined list of the 
criteria EPA uses for deleting sites from the Docket.) Facilities being 
deleted no longer will be subject to the requirements of CERCLA section 
120(d). This notice includes one deletion.

3.3 Corrections

    Changes necessary to correct the previous Docket are identified by 
both EPA and Federal agencies. The corrections section may include 
changes in addresses or spelling, and corrections of the recorded name 
and ownership of a Federal facility. In addition, changes in the names 
of Federal facilities may be made to establish consistency in the 
Docket or between the Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS) and 
the Docket. For the Federal facility for which a correction is entered, 
the original entry is as it appeared in

[[Page 64216]]

previous Docket updates. The corrected update is shown directly below, 
for easy comparison. This notice includes zero corrections.

4.0 Process for Compiling the Updated Docket

    In compiling the newly reported Federal facilities for the update 
being published in this notice, EPA extracted the names, addresses, and 
identification numbers of facilities from four EPA databases--the 
WebEOC, the Biennial Inventory of Federal Agency Hazardous Waste 
Activities, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information 
System (RCRAInfo), and SEMS--that contain information about Federal 
facilities submitted under the four provisions listed in CERCLA section 
120(c).
    EPA assures the quality of the information on the Docket by 
conducting extensive evaluation of the current Docket list and contacts 
the other Federal Agency (OFA) with the information obtained from the 
databases identified above to determine which Federal facilities were, 
in fact, newly reported and qualified for inclusion on the update. EPA 
is also striving to correct errors for Federal facilities that were 
previously reported. For example, state-owned or privately-owned 
facilities that are not operated by the Federal government may have 
been included. Such problems are sometimes caused by procedures 
historically used to report and track Federal facilities data. 
Representatives of Federal agencies are asked to contact the EPA HQ 
Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice if revisions of this update 
information are necessary.

5.0 Facilities Not Included

    Certain categories of facilities may not be included on the Docket, 
such as: (1) Federal facilities formerly owned by a Federal agency that 
at the time of consideration was not Federally-owned or operated; (2) 
Federal facilities that are small quantity generators (SQGs) that have 
not, more than once per calendar year, generated more than 1,000 kg of 
hazardous waste in any single month; (3) Federal facilities that are 
very small quantity generators (VSQGs) that have never generated more 
than 100 kg of hazardous waste in any month; (4) Federal facilities 
that are solely hazardous waste transportation facilities, as reported 
under RCRA section 3010; and (5) Federal facilities that have mixed 
mine or mill site ownership.
    An EPA policy issued in June 2003 provided guidance for a site-by-
site evaluation as to whether ``mixed ownership'' mine or mill sites, 
typically created as a result of activities conducted pursuant to the 
General Mining Law of 1872 and never reported under section 103(a) of 
CERCLA, should be included on the Docket. For purposes of that policy, 
mixed ownership mine or mill sites are those located partially on 
private land and partially on public land. This policy is found at 
https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/policy-listing-mixed-ownership-mine-or-mill-sites-created-result-general-mining-law-1872. The policy of not 
including these facilities may change; facilities now omitted may be 
added at some point if EPA determines that they should be included.

6.0 Facility NPL Status Reporting, Including NFRAP Status

    EPA tracks the NPL status of Federal facilities listed on the 
Docket. An updated list of the NPL status of all Docket facilities, as 
well as their NFRAP status, is available at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/fedfacts or by contacting the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address 
provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice. 
In prior updates, information regarding NFRAP status changes was 
provided separately.

7.0 Information Contained on Docket Listing

    The information is provided in three tables. The first table is a 
list of additional Federal facilities that are being added to the 
Docket. The second table is a list of Federal facilities that are being 
deleted from the Docket. The third table is for corrections.
    The Federal facilities listed in each table are organized by the 
date reported. Under each heading is listed the name and address of the 
facility, the Federal agency responsible for the facility, the 
statutory provision(s) under which the facility was reported to EPA, 
and a code.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Each Federal facility listed in the update has been assigned 
a code that indicates a specific reason for the addition or 
deletion. The code precedes this list.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The statutory provisions under which a Federal facility is reported 
are listed in a column titled ``Reporting Mechanism.'' Applicable 
mechanisms are listed for each Federal facility: for example, Sections 
3005, 3010, 3016, 103(c), or Other. ``Other'' has been added as a 
reporting mechanism to indicate those Federal facilities that otherwise 
have been identified to have releases or threat of releases of 
hazardous substances. The National Contingency Plan at 40 CFR 300.405 
addresses discovery or notification, outlines what constitutes 
discovery of a hazardous substance release, and states that a release 
may be discovered in several ways, including: (1) A report submitted in 
accordance with section 103(a) of CERCLA, i.e., reportable quantities 
codified at 40 CFR 302; (2) a report submitted to EPA in accordance 
with section 103(c) of CERCLA; (3) investigation by government 
authorities conducted in accordance with section 104(e) of CERCLA or 
other statutory authority; (4) notification of a release by a Federal 
or state permit holder when required by its permit; (5) inventory or 
survey efforts or random or incidental observation reported by 
government agencies or the public; (6) submission of a citizen petition 
to EPA or the appropriate Federal facility requesting a preliminary 
assessment, in accordance with section 105(d) of CERCLA; (7) a report 
submitted in accordance with section 311(b)(5) of the Clean Water Act; 
and (8) other sources. As a policy matter, EPA generally believes it is 
appropriate for Federal facilities identified through the CERCLA 
discovery and notification process to be included on the Docket.
    The complete list of Federal facilities that now make up the Docket 
and the NPL and NFRAP status are available to interested parties and 
can be obtained at https://www.epa.gov/fedfac/fedfacts or by contacting 
the EPA HQ Docket Coordinator at the address provided in the FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice. As of the date of 
this notice, the total number of Federal facilities that appear on the 
Docket is 2,391.
