Michigan: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management

Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: Michigan has applied to EPA for final authorization of the changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has reviewed Michigan's application and has preliminarily determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization, and is proposing to authorize Michigan's changes.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before

November 9, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

  1. Why Are Revisions to State Programs Necessary?

    States which 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 266, 268, 270, 273 and 279.

  2. What Decisions Have We Made in This Rule?

    We have preliminarily determined that Michigan's application to revise its authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements established by RCRA. Therefore, we propose to grant

    Michigan final authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes described in the authorization revision application.

    Michigan will have responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) within its borders (except in Indian

    Country) and for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA program described in its revised program revision application, subject to the limitations of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). New Federal requirements and prohibitions imposed by Federal regulations that EPA promulgates under the authority of HSWA take effect in authorized

    States before they are authorized for the requirements. Thus, EPA will implement those requirements and prohibitions in Michigan, including issuing permits, until the State is granted authorization to do so.

  3. What Will Be the Effect If Michigan Is Authorized for These Changes?

    If Michigan is authorized for these changes, a facility in Michigan subject to RCRA will have to comply with the authorized State requirements instead of the equivalent Federal requirements in order to comply with RCRA. Additionally, such persons will have to comply with any applicable Federal requirements, such as HSWA regulations issued by

    EPA for which the State has not received authorization and RCRA requirements that are not

    Page 52162

    supplanted by authorized State-issued requirements. Michigan has enforcement responsibilities under its State hazardous waste program for violations of such program, but EPA retains its authority under

    RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, which include, among others, authority to: 1. Do inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses, or reports; 2. Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits; and 3. Take enforcement actions regardless of whether the State has taken its own actions.

    This proposed action would not impose additional requirements on the regulated community because the regulations for which Michigan would be authorized are already effective, and would not be changed by the act of authorization.

  4. What Happens If EPA Receives Comments on This Action?

    If EPA receives comments on this proposed action, we will address those comments in a later 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.

  5. What Has Michigan Previously Been Authorized for?

    Michigan initially received final authorization on October 16, 1986, effective October 30, 1986 (51 FR 36804-36805) to implement the

    RCRA hazardous waste management program. We granted authorization for changes to Michigan's program on November 24, 1989, effective January 23, 1990 (54 FR 48608); on January 24, 1991, effective June 24, 1991

    (56 FR 18517); on October 1, 1993, effective November 30, 1993 (58 FR 51244); on January 13, 1995, effective January 13, 1995 (60 FR 3095); on February 8, 1996, effective April 8, 1996 (61 FR 4742); on November 14, 1997, effective November 14, 1997 (62 FR 61775); on March 2, 1999, effective June 1, 1999 (64 FR 10111); on July 31, 2002, effective July 31, 2002 (67 FR 49617); on March 9, 2006, effective March 9, 2006 (71

    FR 12141), and on January 7, 2008 (73 FR 1077), effective January 7, 2008.

  6. What Changes Are We Proposing?

    On September 26, 2008, Michigan submitted a complete program revision application seeking authorization of its changes in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We have preliminarily determined that Michigan's hazardous waste management program revision satisfies all requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. Therefore, we propose to grant Michigan final authorization for the following program changes:

  7. Where Are the Revised State Rules Different From the Federal Rules?

    The most significant differences between the State rules we are proposing to authorize and Federal rules are summarized below. It should be noted that this summary does not describe every difference or every detail regarding the differences that are described. Members of the regulated community are advised to read the complete rules to ensure that they understand the requirements with which they will need to comply.

    There are aspects of the Michigan program which are more stringent than the Federal program. All of these more stringent requirements are or will become part of the Federally enforceable RCRA program when authorized by the EPA, and must be complied with in addition to the

    State requirements which track the minimum Federal requirements. These more stringent requirements are found at (references are to the

    Michigan Administrative Code):

    Michigan does not allow containment buildings, making the State requirements more stringent than the Federal requirements at 40 CFR part 264 subpart DD, 40 CFR 265 subpart DD, and 40 CFR part 264 appendix I, Tables 1 and 2.

    Michigan's regulations at R 299.9601(1), (2)(b), (2)(c), (2)(h),

    (2)(i), and (3); R 299.9608(1), (6) and (8); R 299.9615; and R 299.9702(1) are more stringent than the Federal analogs at 40 CFR 265.56(b), 265.71, 265.72, 265.142(a), 265.174, 265.190(a), 265.193, 265.194, 265.197, 265.201, and 265.340(b)(1) since the State requires compliance with standards equivalent to 40 CFR part 264 rather then 40

    CFR part 265.

    Michigan's regulations at R 299.11002(1) and (2) are more stringent than the Federal analogs at 40 CFR 260.11(d) and (d)(1) since the State adopts updated versions of the ``Flammable and Combustible Liquids

    Code.''

  8. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?

    Michigan will continue to 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 we issued prior to the effective date of this authorization until they expire or are terminated. We will not issue any more new permits or new portions of permits for the provisions listed in the tables above after the effective date of this authorization. EPA will continue to implement and issue permits for

    HSWA requirements for which Michigan is not yet authorized.

    1. How Would Authorizing Michigan for These Revisions Affect Indian

    Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in Michigan?

    Michigan is not authorized to carry out its hazardous waste program in Indian Country within the State, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. This includes: 1. All lands within the exterior boundaries of Indian reservations within the State of Michigan; 2. Any land held in trust by the U.S. for an Indian Tribe; and 3. Any other land, whether on or off an Indian reservation that qualifies as Indian country.

    Therefore, authorizing Michigan for these revisions would not affect Indian Country in Michigan. EPA would continue to implement and administer the RCRA program in Indian country. It is EPA's long- standing position that the term ``Indian lands'' used in past Michigan hazardous waste approvals is synonymous with the term ``Indian

    Country.'' Washington Dep't of Ecology v. U.S. EPA, 752 F.2d 1465, 1467, n.1 (9th Cir. 1985). See 40 CFR 144.3 and 258.2.

  9. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying Michigan's Hazardous Waste

    Program as Authorized in This Rule?

    Codification is the process of placing a State's statutes and regulations that comprise a State's authorized hazardous waste program into the Code of Federal Regulations. We do this by referencing the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. Michigan's rules, up to and including those revised October 19, 1991, have previously been codified through incorporation-by-reference effective April 24, 1989 (54 FR 7421, February 21, 1989); as amended effective March 31, 1992 (57 FR 3724, January 31, 1992). We reserve the amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart X, for the codification of Michigan's program changes until a later date.

  10. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This proposed rule only authorizes hazardous waste requirements pursuant to RCRA 3006 and imposes no requirements other than those imposed by State law (see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, Section A. Why are

    Revisions to State Programs Necessary?). Therefore this rule complies with applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as follows: 1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory Planning Review

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from its review under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). 2. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 3. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    After considering the economic impacts of today's rule on small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), I certify that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Because this rule approves 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 (Pub. L. 104-4). 5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) does not apply to this rule because it will not have Federalism implications (i.e., 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).

    Page 52173

    6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian

    Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) does not apply to this rule because it will not have Tribal implications (i.e., substantial direct effects on one or more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal government and Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian Tribes.) 7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental

    Health and Safety Risks

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,

    April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant as defined in Executive Order 12866 and because the EPA does not have reason to believe the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this action present a disproportionate risk to children. 8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy

    Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866. 9. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    EPA approves State programs as long as they meet criteria required by RCRA, so it would be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, in its review of a State program, to require the use of any particular voluntary consensus standard in place of another standard that meets requirements of RCRA. Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the

    National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply to this rule. 10. Executive Order 12988

    As required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729,

    February 7, 1996), in issuing 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. 11. Executive Order 12630: Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of

    Unanticipated Takings

    EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 18, 1988) by examining the takings implications of the rule in accordance with the Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings issued under the executive order. 12. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental

    Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations

    Because this rule proposes authorization of pre-existing State rules and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by

    State law and there are no anticipated significant adverse human health or environmental effects, the rule is not subject to Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
