Michigan: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revision 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is granting Michigan 

final authorization of the changes to its 

hazardous waste program under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). EPA published a proposed 

rule on October 9, 2009, at 74 FR 52161 

and provided for public comment. The 

public comment period ended on 

November 16, 2009. We received 

comments from one commenter. No 

further opportunity for comment will be 

provided. EPA has determined that 

these changes satisfy all requirements 

needed to qualify for final authorization 

and authorizing the State’s changes 

through this final action. This final rule 

authorizes Michigan for new regulations 

which they have not been previously 

authorized for. 

DATES: The final authorization will be 

effective on March 2, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R05–RCRA–2009–0762. All 

documents in the docket are listed in

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.

9346 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 

B. What decisions have we made in this 

rule? 

We conclude that Michigan’s 

application to revise its authorized 

program meets all of the statutory and 

regulatory requirements established by 

RCRA. Therefore, we are granting 

Michigan final authorization to operate 

its hazardous waste program with the 

changes described in the authorization 

application. Michigan 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 Michigan, 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 Michigan 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. Michigan 

has enforcement responsibilities under 

its State hazardous waste program for 

violations of such program, but EPA 

retains its authority under RCRA 

sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, 

which includes, among others, authority 

to: 

1. Do inspections and require 

monitoring, tests, analyses, or reports; 

2. Enforce RCRA requirements and 

suspend or revoke permits; and 

3. Take enforcement actions 

regardless of whether the State has 

taken its own actions. 

This action does not impose 

additional requirements on the 

regulated community because the 

regulations for which Michigan is being 

authorized by today’s action are already 

effective and are not changed by today’s 

action. 

D. Proposed Rule 

On October 9, 2009 (74 FR 52161), 

EPA published a proposed rule. In that 

rule we proposed granting authorization 

of changes to Michigan’s hazardous 

waste program and opened our decision 

to public comment. The agency received 

comments from one individual who 

questioned whether EPA impermissibly 

adopted rules promulgated pursuant to 

non-HSWA authority and rules 

promulgated as ‘‘less stringent than 

HSWA,’’ including the RCRA Burden 

Reduction Initiative (Revision Checklist 

213). The commenter argued that, 

through RCRA, Congress has barred EPA 

and authorized States from 

promulgating regulations that are less 

stringent than HSWA. HSWA changed 

many aspects of hazardous waste 

management under RCRA. The 

legislative history of HSWA (98 Cong. 

Senate Report 284, HSW Leg. Hist. 30, 

pages 6–7) explains, in part: 

‘‘These amendments also recognize that 

safe disposal, storage and treatment 

opportunities are limited and that the most 

effective way to protect human health and 

the environment is to minimize the 

opportunities for exposure by reducing or 

eliminating the generation of hazardous 

waste as expeditiously as possible. Rather 

than creating a rigorous regulatory program, 

provisions are included to encourage 

generators to voluntarily reduce the quantity 

and toxicity of all wastes. The amendments 

do not authorize the EPA or any other 

organization or person to intrude into the 

production process or production decisions 

of individual generators. Taken as a whole, 

the reported bill emphasizes two concepts. 

First, wherever feasible, the generation of 

hazardous waste is to be reduced or 

eliminated as expeditiously as possible. 

Second, waste that is nevertheless generated 

should be treated, stored, or disposed of so 

as to minimize the present and future threat 

to human health and the environment.’’ 

After passage of HSWA, EPA 

distinguished rules promulgated by EPA 

pursuant to the new HSWA authority 

from rules promulgated pursuant to the 

authority that pre-dated, but was not 

supplanted by, HSWA: EPA referred to 

the latter as ‘‘non-HSWA’’ rules. The 

issue of which authority, HSWA or nonHSWA, EPA exercises in each EPA 

rulemaking is distinguishable from 

EPA’s determination of whether a new 

authority is ‘‘more stringent’’ or ‘‘less 

stringent’’ than the regulations that had 

been promulgated earlier and are being 

revised. EPA explains the authority it is 

using, HSWA or non-HSWA, in each 

rulemaking. That explanation is 

generally found in the Federal Register 

notice for each proposed and final rule 

in the discussion of how the regulatory 

changes will be administered and 

enforced in the State. 

Regulations determined to be ‘‘more 

stringent’’ under HSWA or non-HSWA 

authority are regulations which each 

State must adopt to retain authorization 

for its hazardous waste program. HSWA 

regulations are not all ‘‘more stringent’’ 

than the regulations promulgated under 

RCRA before HSWA. Nor did Congress 

require all HSWA regulations to be more 

stringent; nothing in the statute, and no 

language in the legislative history, 

directs EPA to promulgate only ‘‘more 

stringent’’ provisions under HSWA 

authority. 

Since the passage of HSWA, EPA has 

been highly selective when designating 

which new regulations will apply 

directly in every State immediately 

upon the effective date of the new 

regulations. When new regulations are 

promulgated under HSWA authority, 

those regulations characterized by EPA 

as more stringent apply directly in all 

States, including States with authorized 

hazardous waste programs, and such 

regulations are implemented and 

enforced directly and immediately by 

EPA until the State is authorized to 

implement and enforce those 

regulations. Once those regulations are 

authorized as a part of the State 

hazardous waste program, they become 

the Federally enforceable requirements 

in that State. 

The commenter questioned whether it 

was permissible for EPA to allow a State 

to adopt rules promulgated by EPA as 

‘‘less stringent than HSWA.’’ EPA 

exercises discretionary authority as 

provided by Congress in section 2002 of 

RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6912, to regulate 

hazardous waste to protect human 

health and the environment and, barring 

explicit language in the statute, nothing 

in the act or amendments thereto 

prohibits EPA from promulgating new 

regulations that are ‘‘less stringent’’ or 

‘‘neutral’’ relative to regulations that 

were promulgated earlier. If EPA 

promulgates new regulations to replace 

existing regulations, the newer 

regulations are, upon their effective 

date, the Federal requirements against 

which a State program is compared 

when reviewing a revision to an 

authorized State hazardous waste 

program. The ‘‘less stringent’’ 

requirements are the Federal 

requirements under RCRA in States 

without authorized hazardous waste 

programs. Those newer regulations 

which are less stringent than former 

regulations, may be, but are not required 

to be, adopted by States to retain an 

authorized hazardous waste program. 

Section 3009 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 

6929, bars a State from imposing less 

stringent requirements than those 

authorized under Subchapter III of 

RCRA respecting the same matter 

governed by such regulations. There is 

no bar prohibiting a State from imposing 

more stringent requirements and there is 

no bar prohibiting a State from adopting 

Federal requirements which are 

promulgated by EPA as less stringent or 

neutral requirements as compared to 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 9347 

regulations that were promulgated by 

EPA earlier. If a State adopts and is 

authorized for those ‘‘less stringent’’ 

Federal regulations, the Federally 

enforceable RCRA requirements in the 

State are those newly authorized 

requirements. 

Finally, the commenter questioned 

whether the RCRA Burden Reduction 

initiative impermissibly removed the 

manifest notification required to be sent 

to each State with the shipment of 

waste-derived fertilizers citing to 

sections 3002 and 3009 of RCRA, 42 

U.S.C. 6922 and 6929. Section 

3002(a)(5) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 

6922(a)(5), directs the Administrator to 

promulgate regulations to establish 

standards applicable to generators as 

may be necessary to protect human 

health and the environment regarding 

the use of a manifest system and any 

other reasonable means necessary to 

assure that all hazardous waste 

generated is designated for treatment, 

storage, or disposal in, and arrives at, 

treatment, storage, or disposal facilities 

(except where waste was generated) for 

which a permit was issued. Pursuant to 

section 3009 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6929 

(and as is explained in more detail in 

the RCRA Burden Reduction Initiative 

Final Rule (71 FR 16862)), no regulation 

adopted under RCRA can be construed 

to prohibit any State from requiring that 

the State be provided with a copy of 

each manifest used in connection with 

hazardous waste generated in that State 

or transported to a treatment, storage, or 

disposal facility within that State. The 

Burden Reduction Initiative (BRI), 

which became effective as an optional 

rule on May 4, 2006, streamlines EPA’s 

information collection requirements to 

ensure that only information actually 

needed and used to implement the 

RCRA program is collected while 

retaining the goals of protecting human 

health and the environment. EPA 

promulgated all of the rules included in 

Michigan’s revisions pursuant to the 

authority granted to EPA by Congress 

under RCRA. Those rules, including the 

BRI rule, were finalized after full 

consideration of all comments 

submitted in a timely manner. By 

adopting the rules promulgated by EPA, 

Michigan revised its hazardous waste 

program to be equivalent to and 

consistent with the Federal program. 

Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), EPA has 

the authority to authorize State 

programs that are equivalent to and 

consistent with the Federal program. 

Changes in manifest requirements 

made to earlier Federal requirements by 

the BRI generally concern notice under 

the land disposal regulations at 40 CFR 

part 268. The BRI does not prohibit any 

State from requiring a copy of a 

manifest. States were not required to 

adopt the BRI and States that do not 

adopt the BRI can require a copy of the 

manifest. A State is not barred from 

adopting the BRI by section 3009 of 

RCRA. 

EPA believes the Agency has the 

necessary authority to promulgate the 

rules in the Federal program, including 

those in this revision to Michigan’s 

authorized hazardous waste program. 

Moreover, EPA believes that Michigan 

has the necessary authority to adopt the 

rules that are included in this revision 

of the Michigan authorized hazardous 

waste program. 

E. What has Michigan previously been 

authorized for? 

Michigan initially received final 

authorization on October 16, 1986, 

effective October 30, 1986 (51 FR 

36804–36805), to implement the RCRA 

hazardous waste management program. 

We granted authorization for changes to 

Michigan’s program on November 24, 

1989, effective January 23, 1990 (54 FR 

48608); on January 24, 1991, effective 

June 24, 1991 (56 FR 18517); on October 

1, 1993, effective November 30, 1993 (58 

FR 51244); on January 13, 1995, 

effective January 13, 1995 (60 FR 3095); 

on February 8, 1996, effective April 8, 

1996 (61 FR 4742); on November 14, 

1997, effective November 14, 1997 (62 

FR 61775); on March 2, 1999, effective 

June 1, 1999 (64 FR 10111); on July 31, 

2002, effective July 31, 2002 (67 FR 

49617); on March 9, 2006, effective 

March 9, 2006 (71 FR 12141), and on 

January 7, 2008 (73 FR 1077), effective 

January 7, 2008. 

F. What changes are we authorizing 

with this action? 

On September 26, 2008, Michigan 

submitted a complete program revision 

application seeking authorization of its 

changes in accordance with 40 CFR 

271.21. We have determined that 

Michigan’s hazardous waste 

management program revision satisfies 

all requirements necessary to qualify for 

final authorization. Therefore, we are 

granting Michigan final authorization 

for the following program changes:

G. Where are the revised State rules 

different from the Federal rules? 

The most significant differences 

between the State rules we are 

authorizing and the analogous Federal 

rules are summarized below. It should 

be noted that this summary does not 

describe every difference or every detail 

regarding the differences that are 

described. Members of the regulated 

community are advised to read the 

complete rules to ensure that they 

understand the requirements with 

which they will need to comply. 

There are aspects of the Michigan 

program which are more stringent than 

the Federal program. All of these more 

stringent requirements are or will 

become part of the Federally enforceable 

RCRA program when authorized by the 

EPA and must be complied with in 

addition to the State requirements 

which track the minimum Federal 

requirements. These more stringent 

requirements are found at (references 

are to the Michigan Administrative 

Code): 

Michigan does not allow containment 

buildings, making the State 

requirements more stringent than the 

Federal requirements at 40 CFR part 264 

subpart DD, 40 CFR 265 subpart DD, 

and 40 CFR part 264 appendix I, Tables 

1 and 2. 

Michigan’s regulations at R 

299.9601(1), (2)(b), (2)(c), (2)(h), (2)(i), 

and (3); R 299.9608(1), (6) and (8); R 

299.9615; and R 299.9702(1) are more 

stringent than the Federal analogs at 40 

CFR Sections 265.56(b), 265.71, 265.72, 

265.142(a), 265.174, 265.190(a), 

265.193, 265.194, 265.197, 265.201, and 

265.340(b)(1) since the State requires 

compliance with standards equivalent 

to 40 CFR part 264 rather then 40 CFR 

part 265. 

Michigan’s regulations at R 

299.11002(1) and (2) are more stringent 

than the Federal analogs at 40 CFR 

Section 260.11(d) and (d)(1) since the 

State adopts updated versions of the 

‘‘Flammable and Combustible Liquids 

Code.’’ 

H. Who handles permits after the 

authorization takes effect? 

Michigan 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 Michigan is not 

yet authorized. 

I. How does today’s action affect Indian 

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

Michigan is not authorized to carry 

out its hazardous waste program in 

Indian Country within the State, as 

defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. This 

includes: 

1. All lands within the exterior 

boundaries of Indian reservations 

within the State of Michigan; 

2. Any land held in trust by the U.S. 

for an Indian tribe; and 

3. Any other land, whether on or off 

an Indian reservation that qualifies as 

Indian Country. 

EPA will continue to implement and 

administer the RCRA program in Indian 

Country. It is EPA’s long-standing 

position that the term ‘‘Indian lands’’ 

used in past Michigan hazardous waste 

approvals is synonymous with the term 

‘‘Indian Country.’’ Washington Dep’t of 

Ecology v. U.S. EPA, 752 F.2d 1465, 

1467, n.1 (9th Cir. 1985). See 40 CFR 

144.3 and 258.2. 

J. What is codification and is EPA 

codifying Michigan’s hazardous waste 

program as authorized in this rule? 

Codification is the process of placing 

a State’s statutes and regulations that 

comprise a State’s authorized hazardous 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 9357 

waste program into the Code of Federal 

Regulations. We do this by referencing 

the authorized State rules in 40 CFR 

part 272. Michigan’s rules, up to and 

including those revised October 19, 

1991, have previously been codified 

through incorporation-by-reference 

effective April 24, 1989 (54 FR 7421, 

February 21, 1989); as amended 

effective March 31, 1992 (57 FR 3724, 

January 31, 1992). We reserve the 

amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart 

X, for the codification of Michigan’s 

program changes until a later date. 

K. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This final 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); therefore, this 

action is not subject to review by OMB. 

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 

This action authorizes State 

requirements for the purpose of RCRA 

section 3006 and imposes no additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

State law. Accordingly, I certify that this 

rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.). 

4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

Because this rule approves preexisting 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 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). 

13. Congressional Review Act 

EPA will submit a report containing 

this rule and other information required 

by the Congressional Review Act (5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq.) to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to the publication 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).
