Wisconsin: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin's application and
has preliminarily determined that these changes satisfy all
requirements needed to qualify for final authorization, and is
[[Page 71584]]
proposing to authorize the State's changes. This proposal authorizes
Wisconsin for new regulations which they have not been previously
authorized for.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before
December 26, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
RCRA-2008-0712 by one of the following methods: http://
www.regulations.gov: Follow the online instructions for submitting
comments.
E-mail: gromnicki.jean@epa.gov.
Mail: Jean Gromnicki, Wisconsin Regulatory Specialist, LR-8J, U.S.
EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID Number EPA-R05-
RCRA-2008-0712. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be
included in the public docket without change and may be made available
online at http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal
information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed
to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information
that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through
www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The www.regulations.gov Web site is an
``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without
going through www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters or any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public
docket, visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epagov/
epahome/dockets.htm.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some of the
information is not publicly available, e.g., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available only in hard copy.
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically
in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy. You may view and copy
Wisconsin's application from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the following
addresses: U.S. EPA, Region 5, LR-8J, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, Illinois, contact: Jean Gromnicki (312) 886-6162; or Wisconsin

Wisconsin, contact: Patricia Chabot (608) 264-6015.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean Gromnicki, Wisconsin Regulatory
Specialist, U.S. EPA, Region 5, LR-8J, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886-6162, e-mail gromnicki.jean@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. 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.
B. What Decisions Have We Made in This Rule?
We conclude that Wisconsin's application to revise its authorized
program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements
established by RCRA. Therefore, we propose to grant Wisconsin final
authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes
described in the authorization application. Wisconsin has
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 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 Wisconsin, including
issuing permits, until the State is granted authorization to do so.
C. What Is the Effect of This Authorization Decision?
The effect of this decision is that a facility in Wisconsin subject
to RCRA will now have to comply with the authorized State requirements
instead of the equivalent Federal requirements in order to comply with
RCRA. Wisconsin 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.
3. 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 Wisconsin 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 Action?
If EPA receives comments that oppose this authorization, we will
address all public comments in a later Federal Register. 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 Wisconsin Previously Been Authorized for?
Wisconsin initially received final authorization on January 30,
1986, effective January 31, 1986 (51 FR 3783) to implement the RCRA
hazardous waste management program. We granted authorization for
changes to their program on May 23, 1989, effective June 6, 1989 (54 FR
15029), on November 22, 1989, effective January 22, 1990 (54 FR 48243),
on April 24, 1992, effective April 24, 1992 (57 FR 15029), on June 2,
1993, effective August 2, 1993 (58 FR 31344), on August 4, 1994,
effective October 4, 1994 (59 FR 39971), on August 5, 1999, effective
October 4, 1999 (64 FR 42630), and on June 26, 2002, effective June 26,
2002 (67 FR 43002).
[[Page 71585]]
F. What Changes Are We Authorizing With This Action?
On April 29, 2008, Wisconsin submitted a final complete program
revision application, seeking authorization of their changes in
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. We now make a final decision, subject to
receipt of written comments that oppose this action, that Wisconsin's
hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of the requirements
necessary to qualify for final authorization. Therefore, we propose to
grant Wisconsin final authorization for the following program changes:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
G. Where Are the Revised State Rules Different From the Federal Rules?
These practices are prohibited in Wisconsin: Underground Injection
(40 CFR part 144), and Land Treatment (40 CFR 270.20). Wisconsin also
does not provide for Permit by Rule (40 CFR 270.60). Wisconsin does not
allow automatic authorization under the permit modification regulations
found in 40 CFR 270.42(b)(6). The 10 year Remedial Action Plan, or RAP
(40 CFR 270.79 et seq.) is replaced by a 5 year Remediation Variance
(NR670.079).
These Wisconsin regulations are more stringent: 662.220(5)(c,d),
662.220(6)(c,d,f), and 670.030 (annual report required instead of a
biennial report).
Wisconsin maintains different financial regulations, that allow for
additional equivalent financial mechanisms (664.0143), do not allow the
net worth test for closure under Part 665, and maintain some more
stringent insurance requirements under 664.0143(5)(h),
664.0147(1)(a)(3), and 665.0147(1)(a)(3).
The following Wisconsin regulations have no Federal Counterpart:
666.081, 666.900 through 666.910, and 673.11. On the converse, there
are no Wisconsin provisions for 40 CFR 268.5, 268.44 (other than
268.44(h)), and 270.3 as these are Federal non-delegable provisions.
H. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?
Wisconsin will 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 Table above
after the effective date of this authorization. EPA will continue to
implement and issue permits for HSWA requirements for which Wisconsin
is not yet authorized.
I. How Does This Action Affect Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in
Wisconsin?
Wisconsin is not authorized to carry out its hazardous waste
program in ``Indian Country,'' as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Indian
Country includes:
1. All lands within the exterior boundaries of Indian reservations
within the State of Wisconsin;
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, this action has no effect on Indian Country. EPA will
continue to implement and administer the RCRA program in Indian
Country.
[[Page 71590]]
J. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying Wisconsin's Hazardous
Waste Program as Authorized in This Rule?
Codification is the process of placing the State's statutes and
regulations that comprise the 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. Wisconsin's rules, up to
and including those revised June 7, 1991, as corrected August 19, 1991,
have previously been codified through the incorporation-by-reference
effective February 4, 1992 (57 FR 4162) . We reserve the amendment of
40 CFR part 272, subpart KK for the codification of Wisconsin's program
changes until a later date.
K. 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).
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, or 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).
