Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs): Revisions to Manifesting 
Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'' or ``the 
Agency'') is issuing this direct final rule to update and clarify 
several sections of the Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) regulations 
associated with the manifesting requirements, which uses the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest, 
under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).

[[Page 54819]]

Today's changes are to match, as much as possible, the manifesting 
requirements for PCBs under TSCA to the manifesting requirements for 
hazardous waste under RCRA, of which the regulatory changes to 
implement the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest form were promulgated on 
March 4, 2005.

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective December 5, 2012 
without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse written comment by 
November 5, 2012. If adverse comments are received, EPA will publish a 
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the 
amendments in this direct final rule will not take effect.

I. Why is EPA using a direct final rule?

    EPA is publishing this rule as a direct final rule because the 
Agency views this action as noncontroversial and EPA anticipates no 
adverse comments since these changes are only meant to update the PCB 
manifest regulations for the sake of consistency between the PCB 
manifest and the RCRA manifest. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' 
section of today's Federal Register, EPA is also publishing a separate 
document that will serve as a proposed rule should the Agency receive 
adverse comments on this action. EPA will not institute a second 
proposal or allow for another comment period on this action. Any 
parties interested in commenting must do so at this time using the 
Docket ID: EPA-HQ-RCRA-2011-0524, which is common to both this direct 
final rule and the proposed rule. For further information about 
commenting on this rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this document.
    If EPA receives adverse comments, the Agency will publish a timely 
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that these 
amendments will not take effect, and the reason for such withdrawal. 
EPA will address public comments in any subsequent final rule based on 
the proposed rule being concurrently published today.
    If we do not receive adverse comments, this direct final rule will 
take effect on December 5, 2012.

II. Does this action apply to me?

    This action applies to generators, transporters, and designated 
facilities (off-site disposal and commercial storage facilities) 
managing PCB wastes. Potentially affected categories and entities 
include, but are not necessarily limited to:

III. Description of Amendments to Part 761

A. Overview of Changes to 40 CFR Part 761

    The existing PCB manifest regulations are in 40 CFR part 761. The 
RCRA manifest regulations are in 40 CFR parts 262, 263, and 264. Since 
the promulgation of the PCB manifest regulations, several updates have 
been made to the RCRA manifest regulations, where the corresponding 
changes have not been made to the PCB manifest regulations. The intent 
of today's changes is to bring into alignment, as much as possible, the 
manifesting requirements for PCBs to those of RCRA hazardous waste. 
These changes are needed because PCB wastes are manifested using the 
RCRA Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest and PCB waste handlers and 
generators need to adhere to the more recent RCRA hazardous waste 
manifest regulations, while still accounting for certain unique PCB 
manifest regulations. Since PCBs are manifested using the same manifest 
as RCRA hazardous waste, all of the changes described today to part 761 
are already being implemented by PCB waste handlers and generators 
except for the exemption to manifest waste transported on a right-of-
way (40 CFR 262.20(f)), and as a result, this rulemaking should have no 
economic impact since PCB waste handlers and generators will not have 
to modify their current practices on manifesting PCB waste. No 
additional burden is created. Furthermore, to simplify the use of both 
the RCRA and PCB manifest regulations, sections under part 761 are 
being reorganized and renumbered to parallel the similar sections under 
parts 262 through 264.
    EPA compared the PCB manifest regulations (40 CFR part 761) to the 
RCRA manifest regulations (40 CFR parts 262, 263, and 264) to determine 
which sections from the RCRA manifest regulations do not exist in the 
PCB manifest regulations. Below is a table (Table 1) of the regulations 
from 40 CFR parts 262-264 that EPA is adding to 40 CFR part 761, where 
the content of the section will be new to 40 CFR part 761. Explanations 
for the changes below, as with the other changes in this rule, are 
included in the subsequent sections in this direct final rule. In 
addition to today's direct final rule, EPA is including, in the docket, 
a crosswalk between the RCRA manifest regulations and the PCB manifest 
regulations.

    Listed below are the explanations of each change made to Sec.  
761.207 in the order listed on the table above.
    40 CFR 761.207(a)--general manifest requirements for generators: 
Section 761.207(a) closely matches Sec.  262.20(a)(1). However, Sec.  
262.20(a)(1) includes references to the manifest OMB control number and 
treatment, storage, or disposal facilities completing a manifest for a 
rejected load, which Sec.  761.207(a) does not include. Section 
262.20(a)(1) also includes a reference to the manifest continuation 
sheet being EPA form 8700-22A. Due to the additional manifest data 
required under Sec. Sec.  761.207(a)(1), (2), and (3), EPA form 8700-
22A is not required as the continuation sheet for the PCB manifest. The 
OMB control number for managing PCB manifesting requirements and RCRA 
manifesting requirements is currently different, so the OMB control 
number will not be cited in Section 761.207(a). Section 761.207(a), 
codified through this rule, utilizes the language from Sec.  
262.20(a)(1), except for the reference to form 8700-22A and the 
specific OMB control number reference. Additionally, to clarify the use 
of a continuation sheet for the PCB manifest, a note is included in 
Sec.  761.207(a), which explicitly states form 8700-22A does not need 
to be used as the continuation sheet.
    40 CFR 761.207(a)(1), (2), and (3)--general manifest requirements 
for generators: Sections 761.207(a)(1), (2), and (3) are unique 
requirements for completing a manifest for PCB waste, such as including 
the date for removal from service for disposal and the PCB article's 
serial number on the manifest. These sections will be retained in the 
updated regulations as Sec. Sec.  761.207(a)(1), (2), and (3) with 
minor revisions.
    40 CFR 262.20(a)(2)--compliance date: Part 761 does not contain a 
provision similar to Sec.  262.20(a)(2). Section 262.20(a)(2) specifies 
the compliance date of manifest form revisions being September 5, 2006. 
This compliance date was relevant to PCB manifests; however, there 
should not be any more of the out-dated forms being used. Accordingly, 
language from Sec.  262.20(a)(2) is not included in the updated PCB 
regulations. Section 262.20(a)(2) will be addressed in a separate RCRA 
rulemaking.
    40 CFR 761.207(b)--obtaining manifests: Section 761.207(b) briefly 
describes how to obtain manifests. 40 CFR 262.21(g) not only includes a 
brief description in Sec.  761.207(b), but also includes the most 
current details on obtaining manifests. Because Sec.  761.207(b) lacks 
these details, Sec.  761.208, codified through this rule, uses language 
from Sec.  262.21(g). The language regarding certification of manifest 
printers from the remainder of Sec.  262.21 will not be included in 
Sec.  761.208, because EPA does not intend to certify printers solely 
for PCB manifests, when a certification process already exists under 
the RCRA regulation and certified printers distribute the same manifest 
form for both PCB and RCRA waste.
    40 CFR 761.207(c), (d), (e), and (f)--State specific manifest 
requirements for generators: Sections 761.207(c), (d), (e), and (f) are 
requirements for State specific manifests, which are no longer 
applicable to either the PCB or RCRA manifest requirements, because, 
under the revised RCRA manifest regulations promulgated on March 4, 
2005 (70 FR 10815), all of the States must use the same uniform 
manifest for both PCB waste and RCRA hazardous waste (EPA form 8700-
22). Sections 761.207(c), (d), (e), and (f) are obsolete and will be 
deleted from the CFR.
    40 CFR 761.207(g) and (h)--general manifest requirements for 
generators and transporters: The intent of the language in Sec. Sec.  
761.207(g) and (h) matches that of Sec. Sec.  262.20(b) and (d), 
respectively. To harmonize the regulatory sections, the Sec.  
761.207(b) and

[[Page 54822]]

(d), codified through this rule, will contain the language from 
Sec. Sec.  262.20(b) and (d), and Sec. Sec.  761.207(g) and (h) will be 
removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 262.20(c)--designating an alternate facility: Section 
262.20(c) contains the details for designating an alternate facility on 
the manifest. This information is relevant to completing a manifest for 
PCB waste; however, this information does not currently exist under 
part 761. Section 761.207(c), codified through this rule, will contain 
the language from Sec.  262.20(c).
    40 CFR 262.20(e)--requirements for hazardous waste generators of 
between 100kg and 1000kg in a calendar month: Part 761 does not contain 
a similar provision to Sec.  262.20(e). Section 262.20(e) contains 
exceptions for generators of hazardous waste between 100kg and 1000kg 
in a calendar month, which is unique to the RCRA hazardous waste 
regulations. There is no such exception or distinction of PCB 
generators based on quantity in the PCB regulations. Language from 
Sec.  262.20(e) will not be incorporated in Sec.  761.207(e), codified 
through this rule.
    40 CFR 262.20(f)--exceptions for public or private right-of-way: 
Part 761 does not contain a provision similar to Sec.  262.20(f). 
Section 262.20(f) contains manifesting exceptions when transporting 
hazardous wastes on a public or private right-of-way within or along 
the border of contiguous property (codified under 62 FR 6651, Feb. 12, 
1997). EPA believes this manifesting exception is relevant to PCB 
waste. The citations in Sec.  262.20(f) to Sec.  263.30 and Sec.  
263.31 show that a cleanup on a private or public right-of-way is 
necessary despite the manifesting exemption. The cleanup and disposal 
of a PCB waste resulting from a spill is covered under part 761 
Subparts D and G. The regulation here merely exempts the manifesting 
requirements, which are separate from Subparts D and G, thus the 
language regarding a discharge of the waste is redundant and not 
included in the updated Sec.  761.207(f). Section 262.20(f) cites the 
marking regulations in Sec.  262.32(b) which are substantially 
different than the PCB marking regulations, so that portion of Sec.  
262.20(f) will also not be included in the updated PCB regulations.
    40 CFR 761.207(i)--number of copies: The intent of the language in 
Sec.  761.207(i) matches that of Sec.  262.22. Both sections describe 
the required number of copies of the manifest, but Sec.  262.22 
contains more streamlined language. Section 262.22 does not specify 
that the copy be returned to the generator `by the owner or operator of 
the first designated commercial storage or disposal facility'; however, 
this language is included in this rulemaking under new Sec.  
761.213(a)(2)(iv), codified through this rule. The updated Sec.  
761.209, also codified through this rule, will contain language from 
Sec.  262.22, and Sec.  761.207(i) will be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 761.207(j)--general manifest requirements for PCB waste: 
Section 761.207(j) contains unique requirements for completing a 
manifest for PCB waste, such as what type of PCB waste requires a 
manifest. This section will be retained in the updated regulations and 
will be re-numbered as Sec.  761.207(e).

C. Revisions to the PCB Regulations Under 40 CFR 761.208 (Use of the 
Manifest)

    EPA is using the following table (Table 3) to compare the PCB 
regulations under Sec.  761.208 to the equivalent or relevant sections 
in the RCRA regulations in 40 CFR parts 262, 263, and 264, which are 
Sec. Sec.  262.23, 263.20, 263.21, and 264.71.

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

    Listed below are the explanations for each change made to Sec.  
761.208 in the table above.
    40 CFR 761.208(a)(1), (a)(2), and (a)(3)--generator requirements 
for completing a manifest: The intent of the language in Sec. Sec.  
761.208(a)(1), (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), (a)(1)(iii), (a)(1)(iv), (a)(2), 
(a)(3), (a)(3)(i), and (a)(3)(ii) matches that of Sec. Sec.  262.23(a), 
(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (b), (c), (d), (d)(1), and (d)(2), 
respectively. All sections describe a portion of the generator 
requirements for completing a manifest. A portion of Sec.  262.23(c) 
contains the requirements for exporting bulk shipments of waste by 
water. This information could be relevant to completing a manifest for 
PCB waste; however, because PCB waste has unique import and export 
restrictions found in part 761 subpart F, specific manifest 
requirements for imports and exports of PCBs for disposal will not be 
addressed in this rulemaking. Sections 761.208(a)(1), (a)(1)(i), 
(a)(1)(ii), (a)(1)(iii), (a)(1)(iv), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(3)(i), and 
(a)(3)(ii) will be re-written to include language from Sec. Sec.  
262.23(a), (a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (b), (c), (d), (d)(1), and (d)(2), 
and Sec.  761.208(a)

[[Page 54824]]

and will be renumbered under Sec.  761.210.
    40 CFR 262.23(d)(3)--exporting waste by rail: Part 761 does not 
contain a similar provision to Sec.  262.23(d)(3). Section 262.23(d)(3) 
contains the requirements for exporting waste by rail. This information 
could be relevant to completing a manifest for PCB waste; however, for 
the reasons described in the paragraph above, specific manifest 
requirements for imports and exports of PCBs for disposal will not be 
addressed in this rulemaking.
    40 CFR 262.23(e)--States not yet authorized to regulate a specific 
hazardous waste: Part 761 does not contain a similar provision to Sec.  
262.23(e). Section 262.23(e) contains regulations regarding shipments 
of hazardous waste to States which have not yet obtained authorization 
to regulate that particular waste. Due to PCBs being regulated under 
TSCA at the Federal level, Sec.  262.23(e) is not relevant to 
manifesting PCBs. Section 262.23(e) will not be referenced in the PCB 
regulations.
    40 CFR 262.23(f)--rejected shipments: Part 761 does not contain a 
provision similar to Sec.  262.23(f), even though the substance of 
Sec.  262.23(f) is relevant to rejected loads of PCB waste with the 
exception of the reference to Sec.  265.72(f). Section 262.23(f) 
describes generator requirements for rejected shipments of hazardous 
waste that are returned to the generator by the designated facility 
(following the procedures of Sec. Sec.  264.72(f) or 265.72(f)). 
Section 761.210(e), codified through this rule, includes language from 
Sec.  262.23(f) and all the sections under Sec.  262.23(f), except for 
language on residues. The empty container residue language from RCRA is 
not relevant to PCB waste, because there is no equivalent section under 
the PCB regulations for Sec.  261.7 Residues of hazardous waste in 
empty containers (i.e. PCB residues are regulated differently than 
residues of RCRA hazardous waste). PCB residues will not be addressed 
in this action.
    40 CFR 761.208(a)(4)--exception reporting: The language in Sec.  
761.208(a)(4) closely matches that of Sec. Sec.  262.42(a)(1) and 
(a)(2). All three sections describe a portion of the exception 
reporting requirements for a manifest. Sections 262.42(a)(1) and (a)(2) 
are specifically for generators of greater than 1000 kg of hazardous 
waste in a calendar month. There is no such quantity distinction for 
PCB generators in part 761. Also, Sec.  761.208(a)(4) contains a 
requirement for the generator to retain a written record of all 
telephone or other confirmations to be included in the annual document 
log, in accordance with Sec.  761.180, specifically Sec.  
761.180(a)(2)(viii). EPA believes this requirement is no longer 
necessary to effectively monitor compliance for exception reporting. 
The language from Sec.  761.208(a)(4) will not be retained in the 
updated PCB regulations. Section 761.208(a)(4) will be removed from the 
CFR. Section 761.180(a)(2)(viii) will be removed from the CFR as well.
    40 CFR 761.208(b)(1)--generator manifest requirements for 
transporters: The language in Sec.  761.208(b)(1) closely matches that 
of Sec.  263.20(a)(1). However, the exceptions listed in Sec. Sec.  
761.208(b)(1)(i) and (ii) are PCB-specific manifest requirements, so 
Sec. Sec.  761.208(b)(1), (b)(1)(i) and (b)(1)(ii) will be retained and 
renumbered as Sec. Sec.  761.211(a), (a)(1)(i), and (a)(1)(ii).
    40 CFR 263.20(a)(2)--EPA Acknowledgement of Consent is required for 
exports: Part 761 does not contain a provision similar to Sec.  
263.20(a)(2). Section 263.20(a)(2) contains requirements for both 
exports of wastes that are subject to Subpart H of 40 CFR part 262 and 
exports of wastes that are not. Even though some of the content found 
under Sec.  263.20(a)(2) may be relevant to exports of PCB waste, 
specific requirements for imports and exports of PCBs for disposal will 
not be addressed in this rule, because PCB waste has unique import and 
export restrictions found in part 761 subpart F.
    40 CFR 263.20(a)(3)--compliance date: Part 761 does not contain a 
provision similar to Sec.  263.20(a)(3). Section 263.20(a)(3) specifies 
the compliance date of Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest form revisions 
being September 5, 2006. This compliance date was relevant to PCB 
manifests; however, there should not be any more of the out-dated forms 
being used. Accordingly, language from Sec.  263.20(a)(3) is not 
included in the PCB regulations. Section 263.20(a)(3) will be addressed 
in a separate RCRA rulemaking.
    40 CFR 761.208(b)(2), (b)(4), and (b)(5)--transporter requirements 
for completing a manifest: The intent of the language in Sec. Sec.  
761.208(b)(2), (b)(4), (b)(4)(i), (b)(4)(ii), (b)(4)(iii), (b)(5), 
(b)(5)(i), (b)(5)(ii), (b)(5)(iii), (b)(5)(iv), and (b)(5)(v) matches 
that of Sec. Sec.  263.20(b), (d), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (e), (e)(1), 
(e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4), and (e)(5). All sections detail a portion of 
the transporter requirements for completing a manifest. Sections 
761.211(b), (d), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (e), (e)(1), (e)(2), (e)(3), 
(e)(4), and (e)(5), codifed through this rule, will contain language 
from Sec. Sec.  263.20(b), (d), (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3), (e), (e)(1), 
(e)(2), (e)(3), (e)(4), and (e)(5). Sections 761.208(b)(2), (b)(4), 
(b)(4)(i), (b)(4)(ii), (b)(4)(iii), (b)(5), (b)(5)(i), (b)(5)(ii), 
(b)(5)(iii), (b)(5)(iv), and (b)(5)(v) will be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 263.20(c)--accompanying EPA Acknowledgment of Consent: 
Section 761.208(b)(3) is similar to Sec.  263.20(c). However, Sec.  
263.20(c) includes a requirement for an export of waste to have an 
accompanying EPA Acknowledgment of Consent. Manifest requirements for 
imports and exports of PCBs for disposal will not be addressed in this 
rulemaking, as PCB waste has unique import and export restrictions 
found in part 761 subpart F. Therefore, the language from Sec.  
263.20(c) will not be included in the PCB regulations. Instead, the 
language from Sec.  761.208(b)(3) will be retained and renumbered as 
Sec.  761.211(c), and Sec.  761.208(b)(3) will be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 263.20(e)(2)--accompanying EPA Acknowledgment of Consent: 
Section 761.208(b)(5)(ii) is similar to Sec.  263.20(e)(2). However, 
Sec.  263.20(e)(2) includes a requirement for an export of waste to 
have an accompanying EPA Acknowledgment of Consent. Since manifest 
requirements for imports and exports of PCBs for disposal will not be 
addressed in this rulemaking for the reasons described above, the 
language from Sec.  263.20(e)(2) will not be included in Sec.  
761.211(e)(2). Instead, the language from Sec.  761.208(b)(5)(ii) will 
be retained and renumbered as Sec.  761.211(e)(2), and Sec.  
761.208(b)(5)(ii) will be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 761.208(b)(6)--shipments involving rail transportation: The 
intent of the language in Sec.  761.208(b)(6) matches that of Sec.  
263.20(f). In fact, Sec.  761.208(b)(6) already references Sec.  
263.20(f). Section 761.211(f) and sections under Sec.  761.211(f), 
codified through this rule, will contain language from Sec.  263.20(f) 
and all the sections under Sec.  263.20(f). However, Sec.  
263.20(f)(1)(iii)(c) and Sec.  263.20(f)(2) both reference exports 
which will not be addressed in this rulemaking. Thus, Sec.  
263.20(f)(1)(iii)(c) and the portion of Sec.  263.20(f)(2) referencing 
the RCRA Acknowledgement of Consent will not be included in the 
regulations. Section 761.208(b)(6) will be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 263.20(g)--transporting waste out of the United States: Part 
761 does not contain a provision similar to Sec.  263.20(g), even 
though the content of Sec.  263.20(g) could be relevant to completing a 
manifest for PCB waste. Section 263.20(g) contains requirements for 
transporting waste out of the United States. Specific manifest 
requirements for imports and exports of PCBs for

[[Page 54825]]

disposal will not be addressed in this rulemaking because PCB waste has 
unique import and export restrictions found in part 761 subpart F.
    40 CFR 263.20(h)--transporter requirements when transporting waste 
from a generator of between 100kg and 1000kg of hazardous waste in a 
calendar month: Part 761 does not contain a provision similar to Sec.  
263.20(h). Section 263.20(h) contains exceptions for generators of 
hazardous waste between 100kg and 1000kg in a calendar month. There is 
no such exception or distinction of PCB generators based on quantity in 
part 761. Therefore, language from Sec.  263.20(h) will not be included 
in the PCB regulations.
    40 CFR 761.208(b)(7)--transporter delivering to designated facility 
or next transporter: The intent of the language in Sec. Sec.  
761.208(b)(7), (b)(7)(i), and (b)(7)(ii) matches that of Sec. Sec.  
263.21(a), (a)(1), and (a)(3). All sections contain a portion of the 
transporter requirements for completing a manifest. Sections 
761.212(a), (a)(1), and (a)(3), codified through this rule, will 
contain language from Sec. Sec.  263.21(a), (a)(1), and (a)(3) to 
maintain consistency with the RCRA regulations. Section 761.208(b)(7) 
will be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 263.21(a)(2)--alternate designated facility: Section 
263.21(a)(2) contains the requirement for delivering waste to an 
alternate facility if the waste cannot be delivered to the designated 
facility. Even though the substance of Sec.  263.21(a)(2) is relevant 
to delivery of PCB waste, part 761 does not currently have a provision 
similar to Sec.  263.21(a)(2). Section 761.212(a)(2), codified through 
this rule, will contain language from Sec.  263.21(a)(2).
    40 CFR 263.21(a)(4)--delivering waste to a place outside the United 
States: Part 761 does not contain a provision similar to Sec.  
263.21(a)(4). Section 263.21(a)(4) contains the requirement for 
delivering waste to a place outside the United States. Even though the 
content of Sec.  263.21(a)(4) could be relevant to completing a 
manifest for PCB waste, specific manifest requirements for imports and 
exports of PCBs for disposal will not be addressed in this rulemaking 
for the reasons previously described.
    40 CFR 761.208(b)(8)--what to do when waste cannot be delivered: 
The intent of the language in Sec.  761.208(b)(8) matches that of Sec.  
263.21(b)(1). Both sections contain the transporter requirements when 
waste cannot be delivered. Section 761.212(b)(1), codified through this 
rule, will contain language from Sec.  263.21(b)(1) to maintain 
consistency with the RCRA regulations. Section 761.208(b)(8) will be 
removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 263.21(b)(2)--partial and full load rejections: Section 
263.21(b)(2) contains the requirement for partial load and full load 
rejections of waste. Even though the substance of Sec.  263.21(b)(2) is 
relevant to rejected loads of PCB waste, part 761 does not currently 
have a provision similar to Sec.  263.21(b)(2). Sections 761.212(b)(2), 
(b)(2)(i), and (b)(2)(ii), codified through this rule, will contain 
language from Sec. Sec.  263.21(b)(2), (b)(2)(i), and (b)(2)(ii).
    40 CFR 264.70(a)--applicability of manifest regulations to RCRA 
regulated entities: Part 761 does not contain a provision similar to 
Sec.  264.70(a). Section 264.70(a) is specific to the RCRA regulations, 
and thus will not be included in the regulatory changes.
    40 CFR 264.70(b)--compliance date: Part 761 does not contain a 
provision similar to Sec.  264.70(b). Section 264.70(b) specifies the 
compliance date of manifest form revisions being September 5, 2006. 
This compliance date was relevant to PCB manifests; however, there 
should not be any more of the out-dated forms being used. Accordingly 
language from Sec.  264.70(b) is not included in the PCB regulations. 
Section 264.70(b) will be addressed in a separate RCRA rulemaking.
    40 CFR 761.208(b)(9)--DOT regulations: Section 761.208(b)(9) 
emphasizes the significance of transporter regulations issued by the 
Department of Transportation (DOT) and set forth at 49 CFR part 171. 
Even though the same requirement is in place for transporters of RCRA 
hazardous waste, there is not an appropriate section under 40 CFR parts 
262, 263, and 264 to reference. Accordingly, Sec.  761.208(b)(9) will 
be retained, but renumbered to Sec.  761.212(b)(2)(iii).
    40 CFR 264.71(a)(1)--receiving facility requirements for completing 
a manifest: Section 264.71(a)(1) contains requirements for the 
receiving facility signing the manifest. Even though the substance of 
Sec.  264.71(a)(1) is relevant to receiving PCB waste, part 761 does 
not currently have a provision similar to Sec.  264.71(a)(1). Section 
761.213(a)(1), codified through this rule, will contain language from 
Sec.  264.71(a)(1).
    40 CFR 761.208(c)(1)--receiving facility requirements for 
completing a manifest: The intent of the language in section Sec.  
761.208(c)(1) and its various subsections matches that of Sec.  
264.71(a)(2) and its various subsections. All sections contain the 
facility requirements when waste is delivered. However, Sec.  
761.208(c)(1) specifies the requirement for an off-site shipment, which 
is unique to the PCB regulations, and Sec.  264.71(a)(2) does not 
include a similar provision. Section 761.208(c)(1) will be retained and 
renumbered to Sec.  761.213(a)(2). The subsections under new Sec.  
761.213(a)(2) will contain language from the subsections under Sec.  
264.71(a)(2). Subsections under Sec.  761.208(c)(1) will be removed 
from the CFR.
    40 CFR 264.71(a)(3)--receiving waste from outside the United 
States: Part 761 does not have a provision similar to Sec.  
264.71(a)(3). Section 264.71(a)(3) contains the requirement for 
receiving waste from outside the United States. Even though the content 
of Sec.  264.71(a)(3) could be relevant to PCB waste, specific manifest 
requirements for imports and exports of PCBs for disposal will not be 
addressed in this rulemaking for the reasons previously described.
    40 CFR 761.208(c)(2)--receiving facility requirements when waste is 
shipped by rail or water: The intent of the language in Sec.  
761.208(c)(2) and its various subsections matches that of Sec.  
264.71(b) and its various subsections. All sections contain the 
facility requirements when waste is delivered via rail or water. 
Section 761.213(b) and its various subsections, codified through this 
rule, will contain language from Sec.  264.71(b). Section 761.208(c)(2) 
will be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 761.208(c)(3)--waste initiated from a disposal facility: The 
intent of the language in Sec.  761.208(c)(3) matches that of Sec.  
264.71(c). However, Sec.  761.208(c)(3) specifies the requirement for 
an off-site shipment, which is unique to the PCB regulations, and Sec.  
264.71(c) does not include a similar provision. Section 761.208(c)(3) 
will be retained and renumbered to 761.213(c).
    40 CFR 264.71(d)--tracking document for wastes under 40 CFR 262 
Subpart H: Part 761 does not contain a provision similar to Sec.  
264.71(d). Section 264.71(d) contains instructions for shipments 
subject to 40 CFR 262 Subpart H, which deals with transboundary 
shipments of hazardous waste for recovery within the Organization for 
Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Regardless of whether the 
content of Sec.  264.71(d) could be relevant for PCB waste, specific 
requirements for imports and exports of PCBs for disposal will not be 
addressed in this rulemaking, because PCB waste has unique import and 
export restrictions found in part 761 subpart F. Language from Sec.  
264.71(d) will therefore not be included in the PCB regulations.
    40 CFR 264.71(e)--additional wastes regulated by the consignment 
state: Part 761 does not contain a provision similar to Sec.  
264.71(e). Section 264.71(e) contains instructions for how to handle

[[Page 54826]]

additional wastes regulated as hazardous wastes by the consignment 
state under its RCRA authorized state program. PCBs are regulated 
federally under TSCA authority, so Sec.  264.71(e) does not apply. 
Language from Sec.  264.71(e) will therefore not be included in the PCB 
regulations.

D. Revisions to the PCB Regulations under 40 CFR 761.209 (Retention of 
Manifest Records)

    EPA used the following table (Table 4) to compare the sections of 
the PCB regulations under 40 CFR 761.209 to the equivalent or relevant 
sections in the RCRA regulations in 40 CFR parts 262, 263, and 264, 
which are Sec. Sec.  262.40, 263.22, and 264.71.

                                                         requirements.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Listed below are the explanations of each change made to Sec.  
761.209 in the table above.
    40 CFR 761.209(a)--retention requirements for generators: The 
language in Sec.  761.209(a) closely matches that of Sec.  262.40(a). 
Both sections contain manifest retention requirements for generators, 
but the language in Sec.  262.40(a) is more streamlined. However, 
Section 761.209(a) references retention requirements in 761.180(a), 
which states that annual records, including manifests, must be 
maintained for three years after the facility ceases using or storing 
PCBs and PCB Items. Section 761.214(a)(1), codified through this rule, 
will contain language from Sec.  262.40(a), as well as a reference to 
Section 761.180. Section 761.209(a) will be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 761.209(b)(1), (b)(2), and (b)(3)--retention requirements 
for transporters: The intent of the language in Sec. Sec.  
761.209(b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(3)(i), and (b)(3)(ii) matches that 
of Sec. Sec.  263.22(a), (b), (c), (c)(1), and (c)(2). All sections 
contain manifest retention requirements for transporters. Sections 
761.214(a)(2), (b), (c), (c)(1), and (c)(2), codified through this 
rule, will contain the language from Sec. Sec.  263.22(a), (b), (c), 
(c)(1), and (c)(2) to maintain consistency with the RCRA regulations. 
Sections 761.209(b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(3)(i), and (b)(3)(ii) will 
be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 263.22(d)--retention requirements for transporters who 
transport out of the United States: Part 761 does not have a provision 
similar to Sec.  263.22(d). Section 263.22(d) contains retention 
requirements for transporters who transport waste out of the United 
States. Even though the content of Sec.  263.22(d) could be relevant to 
completing a manifest for PCB waste, specific manifest requirements for 
imports and exports of PCBs for disposal will not be addressed in this 
rulemaking for the reasons previously described.
    40 CFR 761.209(c)--retention requirements for receiving facilities: 
The intent of the language in Sec.  761.209(c) matches that of 
Sec. Sec.  264.71(a)(2)(v) and 264.71(b)(5). All sections contain 
manifest retention requirements for facilities. As explained with 
respect to sections 761.208(c)(1)(v) and (c)(2)(v), new Sec. Sec.  
761.213(a)(2)(v) and (b)(5) will contain language from Sec. Sec.  
264.71(a)(2)(v) and 264.71(b)(5) to maintain consistency with the RCRA 
regulations. Section 761.209(c) will be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 262.40(b)--exception report retention requirement for 
generators: Part 761 does not have a provision similar to Sec.  
262.40(b). Section 262.40(b) contains the 3-year exception report 
retention requirement for generators. The content of Sec.  262.40(b) 
pertaining to the exception report is relevant to PCB exception 
reports. Thus, Sec.  761.214(d), codified through this rule, will 
contain language from Sec.  262.40(b).
    40 CFR 761.209(d)--retention period for enforcement actions: The 
intent of the language in Sec.  761.209(d) matches that of Sec.  
263.22(e). Both sections refer to extending the retention period for 
enforcement actions. Section 761.214(e), codified through this rule, 
will contain language from Sec.  263.22(e) to maintain consistency with 
the RCRA regulations. Section 761.209(d) will be removed from the CFR.

E. Revisions to the PCB Regulations Under 40 CFR 761.210 (Manifest 
Discrepancies)

    EPA used the following table (Table 5) to compare the PCB 
regulations under Sec.  761.210 to the equivalent or relevant section 
in the RCRA regulations in 40 CFR part 264, which is Sec.  264.72.

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

    Listed below are the explanations of each change made to Sec.  
761.210 in the table above.
    40 CFR 761.210(a), (a)(1), and (a)(2)--definition of manifest 
discrepancies and significant discrepancies: The intent of the language 
in Sec. Sec.  761.210(a), (a)(1), (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(2) 
matches Sec. Sec.  264.72(a), (a)(1), and (b). Also, section 
761.210(a)(2) matches the second sentence in Sec.  264.72(b). All 
sections contain the definition of significant discrepancies. Sections 
761.215(a), (a)(1), and (b), codified through this rule, will contain 
language from Sec. Sec.  264.72(a), (a)(1), and (b) to maintain 
consistency with the RCRA regulations, as well as language from 
Sec. Sec.  761.210(a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(2) for the specific 
PCB examples used to illustrate significant discrepancies. Sections 
761.210(a), (a)(1), (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii), and (a)(2) will be removed 
from the CFR.
    40 CFR 264.72(a)(2), (d)(1), (d)(2), (e), (f), and (g)--manifest 
discrepancies for rejected loads: Sections 264.72(a)(2), (d)(1), 
(d)(2), (e), (f), and (g) contain information on manifest discrepancies 
for rejected loads. Even though the substance of Sec. Sec.  
264.72(a)(2), (d)(1), (d)(2), (e), (f), and (g) is relevant to PCB 
waste, part 761 does not currently have provisions similar to 
Sec. Sec.  264.72(a)(2), (d)(1), (d)(2), (e), (f), and (g). Sections 
761.215(a)(2), (d)(1), (d)(2), (e), (f), and (g), codified through this 
rule, will contain language from Sec. Sec.  264.72(a)(2), (d)(1), 
(d)(2), (e), (f), and (g). However, the residue language from 
Sec. Sec.  264.72 (d)(1), (d)(2), (e), (f), and (g) is not relevant to 
PCB waste as container residues do not have quantity limits for PCB 
wastes and will not be addressed in this action.
    40 CFR 264.72(a)(3)--manifest discrepancies for residues: Part 761 
does not contain a provision similar to Sec.  264.72(a)(3). Section 
264.72(a)(3) is not relevant to PCBs. Container residues do not have 
quantity limits for PCB waste. Thus, this will not be addressed in this 
action.
    40 CFR 761.210(b)--resolving manifest discrepancies: The intent of 
the language in Sec.  761.210(b) matches that of Sec.  264.72(c). Both 
sections refer to resolving manifest discrepancies. Section 761.215(c), 
codified through this rule, will contain language from Sec.  264.72(c) 
to maintain consistency with the RCRA regulations. Section 761.210(b) 
will be removed from the CFR.

F. Revisions to the PCB Regulations Under 40 CFR 761.211 (Unmanifested 
Waste Report)

    EPA used the following table (Table 6) to compare the PCB 
regulations under Sec.  761.211 to the equivalent or relevant section 
in the RCRA regulations in 40 CFR part 264, which is Sec.  264.76.

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

    Listed below are the explanations of each change made to Sec.  
761.211 in the table above.
    40 CFR 761.211(a)--facilities receiving unmanifested waste: The 
portion of Sec.  761.211(a) that is similar to part of Sec.  264.76(a) 
is that regarding the general instructions on how a facility handles 
unmanifested waste. These general instructions are still relevant to 
the PCB manifest regulations and will be retained in section 
761.216(a), codified through this rule. The remaining portion of Sec.  
761.211(a) that is not covered in Sec.  264.76(a) is the portion 
instructing the commercial storage or disposal facility to contact the 
generator to obtain a manifest or return the waste.

[[Page 54828]]

Even though EPA believes this is an industry practice that does not 
need to be explicitly stated, this language was retained to help 
clarify that the commercial storage or disposal facility should attempt 
to obtain a manifest from the generator before seeking instruction from 
the EPA Regional Administrator of the EPA region in which his facility 
is located. The remaining language from Sec.  761.211(a) will be 
retained in Sec.  761.216(a). Section 761.211(a) will be removed from 
the CFR. Please note that Sec.  761.211(a), (b), and (c) are all being 
revised and renumbered to Sec.  761.216(a).
    40 CFR 761.211(b)--facilities receiving unmanifested waste: Section 
761.211(b) contains instructions for the disposal facility to contact 
the EPA Regional Administrator for guidance when the generator of an 
unmanifested shipment cannot be contacted. This step is unique to the 
PCB manifest regulations and, at this time, is still relevant to those 
regulations. Thus, language from Sec.  761.211(b) is retained and 
included in Sec.  761.216(a), which is codified through this rule. 
Section 761.211(b) will be removed from the CFR. Please note that Sec.  
761.211(a), (b), and (c) are all being revised and renumbered to Sec.  
761.216(a).
    40 CFR 761.211(c)--unmanifested waste report: The procedure 
described in Sec.  761.211(c) is similar to that of Sec.  264.76(a). 
Both sections contain instructions on when and how to complete an 
unmanifested waste report. However, Sec.  761.211(c) contains language 
stating that the unmanifested waste report will be sent to the Regional 
Administrator for the Region in which the commercial storage or 
disposal facility is located and to the Regional Administrator for the 
Region in which the PCB waste originated, where Sec.  264.76(a) only 
states that the unmanifested waste report be sent to the Regional 
Administrator. EPA believes it is sufficient to only send the 
unmanifested PCB waste report to the Regional Administrator for the 
Region in which the commercial storage or disposal facility is located. 
Also, the form for the unmanifested waste report, EPA Form 8700-13B, 
was removed from the regulations on January 28, 1983 (48 FR 3977), so 
that will not be included in the regulations. The language from Sec.  
264.76(a) is included in Sec.  761.216(a), which is codified through 
this rule, and Sec.  761.211(c) will be removed from the CFR. Please 
note that Sec.  761.211(a), (b), and (c) are all being revised and 
renumbered to Sec.  761.216(a). Furthermore, Sec.  264.76(a)(5) 
contains instructions on including the same generalized information on 
the unmanifested waste report in greater detail than Sec.  761.211(c). 
Language from Sec.  264.76(a)(5) will therefore be included in Sec.  
761.216(a)(5), which will be codified through this rule.
    40 CFR 761.211(c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), (c)(4), and (c)(5)--details 
included on the unmanifested waste report: The intent of the language 
in Sec. Sec.  761.211(c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), (c)(4), and (c)(5) matches 
that of Sec. Sec.  264.76(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(4), and (a)(7). 
All sections contain details of what information needs to be included 
with the unmanifested waste report. Sections 761.216(a)(1), (a)(2), 
(a)(3), (a)(4), and (a)(7), codified through this rule, will contain 
language from Sec. Sec.  264.76(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(4), and 
(a)(7) to maintain consistency with the RCRA regulations. Sections 
761.211(c)(1), (c)(2), (c)(3), (c)(4), and (c)(5) will be removed from 
the CFR.
    40 CFR 761.211(c)(6)--details included on the unmanifested waste 
report: Sections 761.211(c)(6), (c)(6)(i), and (c)(6)(ii) contain 
details of information needed to be included with the unmanifested PCB 
waste report. These details are unique to the unmanifested PCB waste 
report. Thus, Sec. Sec.  761.211(c)(6), (c)(6)(i), and (c)(6)(ii) will 
be retained and renumbered as Sec. Sec.  761.216(a)(8), (a)(8)(i), and 
(a)(8)(ii).
    40 CFR 264.76(a)(6)--certification of the unmanifested waste 
report: Part 761 does not contain a provision similar to Sec.  
264.76(a)(6). Section 264.76(a)(6) contains instructions on including a 
``certification signed by the owner or operator of the facility or his 
authorized representative'' with the unmanifested waste report. This 
certification is just the signature of the owner or operator of the 
facility on the unmanifested waste report. Even though part 761 does 
not explicitly state that a signature should be included, EPA believes 
that this was just an oversight in part 761 and the unmanifest PCB 
waste reports should be signed by the owner or operator of the 
facility. Section 761.216(a)(6), codified through this rule, will 
therefore contain language from Sec.  264.76(a)(6).

G. Revisions to the PCB Regulations Under 40 CFR 761.215 (Exception 
Reporting)

    EPA used the following table (Table 7) to compare the PCB 
regulations under Sec.  761.215 to the equivalent or relevant section 
in the RCRA regulations in 40 CFR part 262, which is Sec.  262.42.

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

    Listed below are the explanations of each change made to Sec.  
761.215 in the table above.
    40 CFR 761.215(a)--exception report: The intent of the language in 
Sec.  761.215(a) closely matches that of Sec.  262.42(a)(1). Both 
sections contain details of how a generator should proceed when a 
signed manifest is not received. Section 262.42(a)(1) is strictly for 
hazardous waste generators of over 1000 kg waste in a calendar month, 
where Sec.  761.215(a) is for all PCB waste generators. Section 
761.217(a)(1), codified through this rule, will retain the language 
from Sec.  761.215(a) to ensure that all PCB waste generators are 
covered.
    40 CFR 761.215(b)--when to submit an exception report: The intent 
of the language in Sec.  761.215(b) closely matches that of Sec.  
262.42(a)(2). Both sections contain details of when an exception report 
should be submitted. However, Sec.  761.215(b) states the exception 
report should be submitted to the EPA no later than 45 days from the 
date on which the generator should have received the manifest, where 
Sec.  262.42(a)(2) does not. Section 761.217(a)(2), codified through 
this rule, will retain the language from Sec.  761.215(b) to maintain 
the deadline for submitting an exception report.
    40 CFR 761.215(b)(1) and (b)(2)--details included in the exception 
report: The language in Sec. Sec.  761.215(b)(1) and (b)(2) matches 
that of Sec. Sec.  262.42(a)(2)(i) and (a)(2)(ii). All sections contain 
details of what information needs to be included with the exception 
report. Sections 761.217(a)(2)(i) and (a)(2)(ii), codified through this 
rule, will contain language from Sec. Sec.  262.42(a)(2)(i) and 
(a)(2)(ii) to maintain consistency with the RCRA regulations. Sections 
761.215(b)(1) and (b)(2) will be removed from the CFR.
    40 CFR 262.42(b)--exception reporting instructions for generators 
of hazardous waste between 100kg and 1000kg in a calendar month: Part 
761 does not contain a provision similar to Sec.  262.42(b). Section 
262.42(b) contains special exception reporting instructions for 
generators of hazardous waste between 100 kg and 1000 kg waste in a 
calendar month. The instructions in Sec.  262.42(b) are not relevant to 
generators for PCB waste, which does not have such quantity 
limitations. Section 262.42(b) will therefore not be referenced in the 
PCB regulations.
    40 CFR 262.42(c), (c)(1), and (c)(2)--rejected shipments forwarded 
to an alternate facility: Sections 262.42(c), (c)(1), and (c)(2) 
contain information on exception reporting for rejected shipments 
forwarded to an alternate facility. Even though the substance of 
Sec. Sec.  262.42(c), (c)(1), and (c)(2) is relevant to PCB waste, part 
761 does not currently have provisions similar to Sec. Sec.  262.42(c), 
(c)(1), and (c)(2). Sections 761.217(b), (b)(1), and (b)(2), codified 
through this rule, will therefore contain language from Sec. Sec.  
262.42(c), (c)(1), and (c)(2), except for the residue language; there 
is no provision similar under the PCB regulations for Sec.  261.7 
Residues of hazardous waste in empty containers. Also, the 60-day 
timeframe in Sec.  262.42(c)(2) is not relevant because Sec.  262.42(b) 
is not relevant to part 761.
    40 CFR 761.215(c), (d), (e), (f)--One-year exception report for PCB 
waste: Sections 761.215(c), (d), (e), and (f) contain details on the 
One-year Exception Report, which is unique to PCB waste. The One-year 
Exception Report is different from the exception reporting detailed in 
Sec. Sec.  761.215(a), (b), and Sec.  262.42, and therefore Sec. Sec.  
761.215(c), (d), (e), and (f) will be retained and renumbered under 
Sec.  761.219, which is codified through this rule.

H. Revisions to other Sections in 40 CFR 761

    There are four other sections in part 761 which refer to re-
numbered sections in the regulations that need to be updated or 
reserved: Sec. Sec.  761.60(j)(1)(vii), 761.65(i)(2) and 761.65(i)(4), 
and 761.180(a)(2)(viii).
    40 CFR 761.60(j)(1)(vii):
    Section 761.60(j)(1)(vii) references sections 761.207 through 
761.218, which will now correspond to sections 761.207 through 761.219.
    40 CFR 761.65(i)(2):
    Section 761.65(i)(2) references section 761.208 which will now 
correspond to sections 761.210 through 761.213.
    40 CFR 761.65(i)(4):
    Section 761.65(i)(4) references sections 761.208, 209, and 
761.215(a) and (b) which will now correspond to sections 761.210 
through 761.213, 761.213 and 761.214, and 761.217, respectively.
    40 CFR 761.180(a)(2)(viii):
    Section 761.180(a)(2)(viii) contains a requirement for the owner or 
operator of a facility to retain a written record of all telephone or 
other confirmations to be included in the annual document log. EPA 
believes this requirement is no longer necessary to effectively monitor 
compliance for exception reporting. Section 761.180(a)(2)(viii) will be 
effectively removed by changing the section to `reserved', to avoid 
renumbering downstream sections.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    As explained above, this action updates and clarifies existing 
regulations for manifesting PCB wastes to match, to the extent 
possible, the existing regulations for manifesting RCRA hazardous waste 
using the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest form. Once updated, the 
regulations will match what is currently being done by industry. For 
that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the terms 
of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), and is 
therefore not subject to review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 
(76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Contains no Federal mandates under the provisions of Title 
II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538), 
for State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector and 
contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly or 
uniquely affect small governments;
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13132: Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Does not have tribal implications as specified by 
Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal 
Governments (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because, as the rule does 
not make any substantive changes, it will not impose substantial direct 
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law;
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based 
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order

[[Page 54830]]

13045: Protection of Children from Environmental Health and Safety 
Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 
22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action under 
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not involve technical standards, thus the 
requirements of Sec.  12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and 
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272) do not apply; and
     Does not have disproportionately high and adverse human 
health or environmental effects on minority or low-income populations 
under Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, 
February 16, 1994) because it does not affect the level of protection 
provided to human health or the environment.

A. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency 
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to 
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative 
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, 
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's rule on small 
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business that is 
primarily engaged in hazardous waste treatment and disposal as defined 
by NAICS code 562211, with annual receipts of less than 12.5 million 
dollars (based on Small Business Administration size standards); (2) a 
small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, 
town, school district or special district with a population of less 
than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit 
enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not 
dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of today's direct final rule 
on small entities, I certify that this action will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
This rule merely updates the existing regulations for manifesting PCB 
wastes to match the existing Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest form. 
Once updated, the regulations will match what is currently being 
conducted by industry.

B. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, 
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the 
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other 
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior 
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A Major rule cannot 
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal 
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).

[[Page 54831]]

Sec.  761.207  The manifest--general requirements.

    (a) A generator who transports, or offers for transport PCB waste 
for commercial off-site storage or off-site disposal, and commercial 
storage or disposal facility who offers for transport a rejected load 
of PCB waste, must prepare a manifest on EPA Form 8700-22, and, if 
necessary, a continuation sheet, according to the instructions included 
in the appendix of 40 CFR Part 262. The generator shall specify:
    (1) For each bulk load of PCBs, the identity of the PCB waste, the 
earliest date of removal from service for disposal, and the weight in 
kilograms of the PCB waste. (Item 15--Special Handling Instructions 
box)
    (2) For each PCB Article Container or PCB Container, the unique 
identifying number, type of PCB waste ( e.g., soil, debris, small 
capacitors), earliest date of removal from service for disposal, and 
weight in kilograms of the PCB waste contained. (Item 15--Special 
Handling Instructions box)
    (3) For each PCB Article not in a PCB Container or PCB Article 
Container, the serial number if available, or other identification if 
there is no serial number, the date of removal from service for 
disposal, and weight in kilograms of the PCB waste in each PCB Article. 
(Item 15--Special Handling Instructions box)

    Note 1 to paragraph (a): EPA Form 8700-22A is not required as 
the PCB manifest continuation sheet. In practice, form 8700-22A does 
not have adequate space to list required PCB-specific information 
for several PCB articles. However, if form 8700-22A fits the needs 
of the user community, the form is permissible.

    Note 2 to paragraph (a): PCB waste handlers should use the Part 
262 appendix instructions as a guide, but should defer to the Part 
761 manifest regulations whenever there is any difference between 
the Part 761 requirements and the instructions in the appendix to 
Part 262. The differences should be minimal.

    Note 3 to paragraph (a): PCBs are not regulated under RCRA, thus 
do not have a RCRA waste code. EPA does not require boxes 13 and 31 
on forms 8700-22 and 8700-22A (if used), respectively, to be 
completed for shipments only containing PCB waste. However, some 
States track PCB wastes as State-regulated hazardous wastes, and 
assign State hazardous waste codes to these wastes. In such a case, 
the user should follow the State instructions for completing the 
waste code fields.

    (b) A generator must designate on the manifest one facility which 
is approved to handle the PCB waste described on the manifest.
    (c) A generator may also designate on the manifest one alternate 
facility which is approved to handle his PCB waste in the event an 
emergency prevents delivery of the waste to the primary designated 
facility.
    (d) If the transporter is unable to deliver the PCB waste to the 
designated facility or the alternate facility, the generator must 
either designate another facility or instruct the transporter to return 
the PCB waste.
    (e) The requirements of this section apply only to PCB wastes as 
defined in Sec.  761.3. This includes PCB wastes with PCB 
concentrations below 50 ppm where the PCB concentration below 50 ppm 
was the result of dilution; these PCB wastes are required under Sec.  
761.1(b) to be managed as if they contained PCB concentrations of 50 
ppm and above. An example of such a PCB waste is spill cleanup material 
containing =50 ppm. However, there is no manifest 
requirement for material currently below 50 ppm which derives from pre-
April 18, 1978, spills of any concentration, pre-July 2, 1979, spills 
of her agent 
must sign and date the manifest as indicated in paragraph (a)(2) of 
this section to certify that the PCB waste covered by the manifest was 
received, that the PCB waste was received except as noted in the 
discrepancy space of the manifest, or that the PCB waste was rejected 
as noted in the manifest discrepancy space.
    (2) If a commercial storage or disposal facility receives an off-
site shipment of PCB waste accompanied by a manifest, the owner or 
operator, or his agent, shall:
    (i) Sign and date, by hand, each copy of the manifest;
    (ii) Note any discrepancies (as defined in Sec.  761.215(a)) on 
each copy of the manifest;
    (iii) Immediately give the transporter at least one copy of the 
manifest;
    (iv) Within 30 days of delivery, send a copy of the manifest to the 
generator; and
    (v) Retain at the facility a copy of each manifest for at least 
three years from the date of delivery.
    (b) If a commercial storage or disposal facility receives, from a 
rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter, PCB waste which is 
accompanied by a shipping paper containing all the information required 
on the manifest (excluding the EPA identification numbers, generator's 
certification, and signatures), the owner or operator, or his agent, 
must:
    (1) Sign and date each copy of the manifest or shipping paper (if 
the manifest has not been received) to certify that the PCB waste 
covered by the manifest or shipping paper was received;
    (2) Note any significant discrepancies (as defined in Sec.  
761.215(a)) in the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest has not 
been received) on each copy of the manifest or shipping paper.

    Note to paragraph (b)(2): The Agency does not intend that the 
owner or operator of a facility whose procedures include waste 
analysis must perform that analysis before signing the shipping 
paper and giving it to the transporter. Section 761.215(a), however, 
requires reporting an unreconciled discrepancy discovered during 
later analysis.

    (3) Immediately give the rail or water (bulk shipment) transporter 
at least one copy of the manifest or shipping paper (if the manifest 
has not been received);
    (4) Within 30 days after the delivery, send a copy of the signed 
and dated manifest or a signed and dated copy of the shipping paper (if 
the manifest has not been received within 30 days after delivery) to 
the generator; and

    Note to paragraph (b)(4): Section 761.210(c) requires the 
generator to send three copies of the manifest to the facility when 
PCB waste is sent by rail or water (bulk shipment).]

    (5) Retain at the facility a copy of the manifest and shipping 
paper (if signed in lieu of the manifest at the time of delivery) for 
at least three years from the date of delivery.
    (c) Whenever an off-site shipment of PCB waste is initiated from a 
commercial storage or disposal facility, the owner or operator of the 
commercial storage or disposal facility shall comply with the manifest 
requirements that apply to generators of PCB waste (Sec.  761.207).

0
12. Section 761.214 is added to read as follows:

Sec.  761.214  Retention of manifest records.

    (a)(1) A generator must keep a copy of each manifest signed in 
accordance with Sec.  761.210(a) for three years or until he receives a 
signed copy from the designated facility which received the PCB waste. 
This signed copy must be retained as a record for at least three years 
from the date the waste was accepted by the initial transporter. A 
generator subject to annual document requirements under Sec.  761.180 
shall retain copies of each manifest for the period required by Sec.  
761.180(a).
    (2) A transporter of PCB waste must keep a copy of the manifest 
signed by the generator, himself, and the next designated transporter 
or the owner or operator of the designated facility for a period of 
three years from the date the PCB waste was accepted by the initial 
transporter.
    (b) For shipments delivered to the designated facility by water 
(bulk shipment), each water (bulk shipment) transporter must retain a 
copy of the shipping paper containing all the information required in 
Sec.  761.211(e)(2) for a period of three years from the date the PCB 
waste was accepted by the initial transporter.
    (c) For shipments of PCB waste by rail within the United States:
    (1) The initial rail transporter must keep a copy of the manifest 
and shipping paper with all the information required in Sec.  
761.211(f)(2) for a period of three years from the date the PCB waste 
was accepted by the initial transporter; and
    (2) The final rail transporter must keep a copy of the signed 
manifest (or the shipping paper if signed by the designated facility in 
lieu of the manifest) for a period of three years from the date the PCB 
waste was accepted by the initial transporter.

    Note to paragraph (c):  Intermediate rail transporters are not 
required to keep records pursuant to these regulations.

    (d) A generator must keep a copy of each Exception Report for a 
period of at least three years from the due date of the report.
    (e) The periods of retention referred to in this Section are 
extended automatically during the course of any unresolved enforcement 
action regarding the regulated activity or as requested by the 
Administrator.

0
13. Section 761.215 is revised to read as follows:

Sec.  761.215  Manifest discrepancies.

    (a) Manifest discrepancies are:
    (1) Significant differences (as defined by paragraph (b) of this 
section) between the quantity or type of PCB waste designated on the 
manifest or shipping paper, and the quantity and type of PCB waste a 
facility actually receives; or
    (2) Rejected wastes, which may be a full or partial shipment of PCB 
waste that the designated facility cannot accept.
    (b) Significant differences in quantity are: For bulk waste, 
variations greater than 10 percent in weight or variations greater than 
10 percent in weight of PCB waste in containers; for batch waste, any 
variation in piece count, such as a discrepancy of one PCB Transformer 
or PCB Container or PCB Article Container in a truckload. Significant 
differences in type are obvious differences which can be discovered by 
inspection or waste analysis, such as the substitution of solids for 
liquids or the substitution of high concentration PCBs (above 500 ppm) 
with lower concentration materials.
    (c) Upon discovering a significant difference in quantity or type, 
the owner or operator must attempt to reconcile the discrepancy with 
the waste generator or transporter (e.g., with telephone 
conversations). If the

[[Page 54834]]

discrepancy is not resolved within 15 days after receiving the waste, 
the owner or operator must immediately submit to the Regional 
Administrator a letter describing the discrepancy and attempts to 
reconcile it, and a copy of the manifest or shipping paper at issue.
    (d)(1) Upon rejecting the PCB waste, the facility must consult with 
the generator prior to forwarding the waste to another facility that 
can manage the waste. If it is impossible to locate an alternative 
facility that can receive the waste, the facility may return the 
rejected waste to the generator. The facility must send the waste to 
the alternative facility or to the generator within 60 days of the 
rejection identification.
    (2) While the facility is making arrangements for forwarding 
rejected wastes to another facility under this section, it must ensure 
that either the delivering transporter retains custody of the waste, 
or, the facility must provide for secure, temporary custody of the 
waste, pending delivery of the waste to the first transporter 
designated on the manifest prepared under paragraph (e) or (f) of this 
section.
    (e) Except as provided in paragraph (e)(7) of this section, for 
full or partial load rejections that are to be sent off-site to an 
alternate facility, the facility is required to prepare a new manifest 
in accordance with Sec.  761.207(a) and the following instructions:
    (1) Write the generator's U.S. EPA ID number in Item 1 of the new 
manifest. Write the generator's name and mailing address in Item 5 of 
the new manifest. If the mailing address is different from the 
generator's site address, then write the generator's site address in 
the designated space for Item 5.
    (2) Write the name of the alternate designated facility and the 
facility's U.S. EPA ID number in the designated facility block (Item 8) 
of the new manifest.
    (3) Copy the manifest tracking number found in Item 4 of the old 
manifest to the Special Handling and Additional Information Block of 
the new manifest, and indicate that the shipment is a rejected waste 
from the previous shipment.
    (4) Copy the manifest tracking number found in Item 4 of the new 
manifest to the manifest reference number line in the Discrepancy Block 
of the old manifest (Item 18a).
    (5) Write the DOT description for the rejected load in Item 9 (U.S. 
DOT Description) of the new manifest and write the container types, 
quantity, and volume(s) of waste.
    (6) Sign the Generator's/Offeror's Certification to certify, as the 
offeror of the shipment, that the waste has been properly packaged, 
marked and labeled and is in proper condition for transportation, and 
mail a signed copy of the manifest to the generator identified in Item 
5 of the new manifest.
    (7) For full load rejections that are made while the transporter 
remains present at the facility, the facility may forward the rejected 
shipment to the alternate facility by completing Item 18b of the 
original manifest and supplying the information on the next destination 
facility in the Alternate Facility space. The facility must retain a 
copy of this manifest for its records, and then give the remaining 
copies of the manifest to the transporter to accompany the shipment. If 
the original manifest is not used, then the facility must use a new 
manifest and comply with paragraphs (e)(1), (2), (3), (4), (5), and (6) 
of this section.
    (f) Except as provided in paragraph (f)(7) of this section, for 
rejected wastes that must be sent back to the generator, the facility 
is required to prepare a new manifest in accordance with Sec.  
761.207(a) and the following instructions:
    (1) Write the facility's U.S. EPA ID number in Item 1 of the new 
manifest. Write the facility's name and mailing address in Item 5 of 
the new manifest. If the mailing address is different from the 
facility's site address, then write the facility's site address in the 
designated space for Item 5 of the new manifest.
    (2) Write the name of the initial generator and the generator's 
U.S. EPA ID number in the designated facility block (Item 8) of the new 
manifest.
    (3) Copy the manifest tracking number found in Item 4 of the old 
manifest to the Special Handling and Additional Information Block of 
the new manifest, and indicate that the shipment is a rejected waste 
from the previous shipment.
    (4) Copy the manifest tracking number found in Item 4 of the new 
manifest to the manifest reference number line in the Discrepancy Block 
of the old manifest (Item 18a).
    (5) Write the DOT description for the rejected load in Item 9 (U.S. 
DOT Description) of the new manifest and write the container types, 
quantity, and volume(s) of waste.
    (6) Sign the Generator's/Offeror's Certification to certify, as 
offeror of the shipment, that the waste has been properly packaged, 
marked and labeled and is in proper condition for transportation.
    (7) For full load rejections that are made while the transporter 
remains at the facility, the facility may return the shipment to the 
generator with the original manifest by completing Item 18a and 18b of 
the manifest and supplying the generator's information in the Alternate 
Facility space. The facility must retain a copy for its records and 
then give the remaining copies of the manifest to the transporter to 
accompany the shipment. If the original manifest is not used, then the 
facility must use a new manifest and comply with paragraphs (f)(1), 
(2), (3), (4), (5), (6), and (8) of this section.
    (8) For full or partial load rejections that are returned to the 
generator, the facility must also comply with the exception reporting 
requirements in Sec.  761.217(a).
    (g) If a facility rejects a waste after it has signed, dated, and 
returned a copy of the manifest to the delivering transporter or to the 
generator, the facility must amend its copy of the manifest to indicate 
the rejected wastes in the discrepancy space of the amended manifest. 
The facility must also copy the manifest tracking number from Item 4 of 
the new manifest to the Discrepancy space of the amended manifest, and 
must re-sign and date the manifest to certify to the information as 
amended. The facility must retain the amended manifest for at least 
three years from the date of amendment, and must within 30 days, send a 
copy of the amended manifest to the transporter and generator that 
received copies prior to their being amended.

0
14. Section 761.216 is added to read as follows:

Sec.  761.216  Unmanifested waste report.

    (a) If a facility accepts for storage or disposal any PCB waste 
from an off-site source without an accompanying manifest, or without an
