Government and the States or Tribal 

Governments, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government or between 

the Federal Government and Indian 

Tribes. Thus, the Agency has 

determined that Executive Order 13132, 

entitled ‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 

13175, entitled ‘‘Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments’’ (65 FR 67249, November 

9, 2000) do not apply to this action. In 

addition, this action does not impose 

any enforceable duty or contain any 

unfunded mandate as described under 

Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et 

seq.). 

This action does not involve any 

technical standards that would require 

Agency consideration of voluntary 

consensus standards pursuant to section 

12(d) of the National Technology 

Transfer and Advancement Act 

(NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note). 

VII. Congressional Review Act 

Pursuant to the Congressional Review 

Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), 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. This action is not a ‘‘major 

rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final authorization. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is granting Illinois final 

authorization for changes to its 

hazardous waste program under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). The Agency published a 

Proposed Rule on July 30, 2020 and 

provided for public comment. No 

adverse comments were received on the 

proposed revisions. No further 

opportunity for comment will be 

provided. 

DATES: This final authorization is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. What changes to Illinois’ hazardous 

waste program is EPA authorizing with 

this action? 

On August 7, 2019, Illinois submitted 

a complete program revision application 

seeking authorization of changes to its 

hazardous waste program in accordance 

with 40 CFR 271.21. EPA published a 

Proposed Rule on July 30, 2020 and 

requested public comment. EPA 

received two comments which were 

generally supportive of this state 

authorization action. EPA now makes a 

final decision that Illinois’ hazardous 

waste program revisions that are being 

authorized are equivalent to, consistent 

with, and no less stringent than the 

Federal program, and therefore satisfy 

all of the requirements necessary to 

qualify for final authorization. For a list 

of State rules being authorized with this 

Final Authorization, please see the 

Proposed Rule published in the July 30, 

2020, Federal Register at 85 FR 45834. 

B. What is codification and is EPA 

codifying the Illinois’ hazardous waste 

program as authorized in this rule? 

Codification is the process of placing 

citations and references to the State’s 

statutes and regulations that comprise 

the State’s authorized hazardous waste 

program into the Code of Federal 

Regulations. EPA does this by adding 

those citations and references to the 

authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 

272. EPA is not codifying the 

authorization of Illinois’ revisions at 

this time. However, EPA reserves the 

ability to amend 40 CFR part 272, 

subpart O for the authorization of 

Illinois’ program changes at a later date. 

C. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This final authorization revises 

Illinois’ authorized hazardous waste 

management program pursuant to 

Section 3006 of RCRA and imposes no 

requirements other than those currently 

imposed by State law. For further 

information on how this authorization 

complies with applicable executive 

orders and statutory provisions, please 

see the Proposed Rule published in the 

July 30, 2020, Federal Register at 85 FR 

45834. 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

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). This 

final action will be effective February 9, 

2021.

Synopsis 

1. The Order on Reconsideration 

dismisses two petitions for 

reconsideration of the Sixth Report and 

Order, 85 FR 53234 (Aug. 28, 2020), 

filed by CTIA and APCO, 85 FR 66333 

(Oct. 19, 2020), as procedurally 

defective and, in the alternative, denies 

these petitions on their merits. In the 

Fifth Report and Order, 85 FR 2660 (Jan. 

16, 2020), the Commission adopted a zaxis (vertical) location accuracy metric 

of plus or minus 3 meters for 80 percent 

of indoor wireless Enhanced 911 (E911) 

calls for z-axis capable handsets. The 

Commission also required nationwide 

commercial mobile radio service 

(CMRS) providers to deploy 

dispatchable location or z-axis 

technology that meets this metric in the 

top 25 markets by April 3, 2021 and in 

the top 50 markets by April 3, 2023. In 

a companion Fifth Further Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking, 85 FR 2683 (Jan. 

16, 2020), the Commission proposed 

rules to improve E911 wireless location 

accuracy. Among other things, the 

Commission sought comment on 

alternative methods for carriers to 

demonstrate z-axis technology 

deployment and expanding 

dispatchable location solutions. In the 

Sixth Report and Order, the 

Commission rejected arguments to 

extend the deployment timeline and 

added a requirement for nationwide 

CMRS providers to deploy z-axis 

location technology nationwide by April 

2025. In addition, the Commission 

required CMRS providers, as of January 

6, 2022, to provide dispatchable 

location for wireless 911 calls if it is 

technically feasible and cost-effective to 

do so. The Commission also allowed 

providers to provide dispatchable 

location by means other than the 

National Emergency Address Database 

(NEAD), which ceased operations 

subsequent to the release of the Fifth 

Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. 

2. CTIA and APCO filed their 

petitions on September 28 and 

September 23, 2020, respectively. In its 

petition, CTIA argued that the COVID– 

19 pandemic has stalled any ability to 

validate whether z-axis location 

solutions can meet the Commission’s 

vertical location accuracy requirements. 

CTIA also asserted that the compliance 

timeline adopted by the Commission 

was premised on vendor promises that 

‘‘have not panned out’’ and that time is 

running out for meeting the April 2021 

deadline. According to CTIA, 

reconsideration of the Sixth Report and 

Order would provide an opportunity for 

the Commission to adopt a framework 

based on the use of mobile OS-based 

solutions. CTIA asserted that this would 

provide a ‘‘viable path’’ to achieving 

‘‘accurate 9-1-1 vertical location 

information nationwide.’’ In its 

reconsideration petition, APCO asked 

the Commission to require CMRS 

providers to deliver dispatchable 

location for a minimum percentage of 

911 calls—an alternative that APCO had 

previously proposed and the 

Commission rejected—rather than tie 

the dispatchable location benchmark to 

the number of address reference points 

in a location database. In addition, 

APCO sought reconsideration of the 

requirement that CMRS providers 

supply dispatchable location if it is 

technically feasible and cost effective to 

do so. APCO took issue with the 

Commission’s prior decision not to 

adopt its proposal to require 

dispatchable location for a minimum 

percentage of calls and disputed the 

conclusion that a minimum percentage 

threshold would go beyond what is 

technically feasible and cost effective. 

3. The Commission determined that 

CTIA’s petition for reconsideration of 

the longstanding timelines for 

implementing the z-axis was repetitive, 

untimely, and failed to offer sufficient 

factual details that would support grant 

of a waiver to a particular provider. The 

Commission determined that CTIA’s 

petition was procedurally improper 

because it repeated arguments raised by 

other commenters that the Commission 

fully addressed in the Sixth Report and 

Order. While the Commission noted in 

the Sixth Report and Order that the 

pandemic had created challenges, the 

Commission declined to change the 

long-established 2021 deadline. The 

Commission also stated in the Sixth 

Report and Order that parties able to 

show good cause due to pandemicrelated hardship could seek a waiver in 

accordance with the Commission’s 

rules. CTIA failed to offer sufficient 

factual details about any of its 

individual member service providers 

that would support grant of a waiver to
