Michigan: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revision 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: Michigan has applied to EPA 

for final authorization of the changes to 

its hazardous waste program under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). EPA has reviewed 

Michigan’s application and has 

preliminarily determined that these 

changes satisfy all requirements needed 

to qualify for final authorization, and is 

proposing to authorize Michigan’s 

changes. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule 

must be received on or before November 

9, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

A. Why Are Revisions to State 

Programs Necessary? 

States which have received final 

authorization from EPA under RCRA 

section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must 

maintain a hazardous waste program 

that is equivalent to, consistent with, 

and no less stringent than the Federal 

program. As the Federal program 

changes, States must change their 

programs and ask EPA to authorize the 

changes. Changes to State programs may 

be necessary when Federal or State 

statutory or regulatory authority is 

modified or when certain other changes 

occur. Most commonly, States must 

change their programs because of 

changes to EPA’s regulations in 40 Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 124, 

260 through 266, 268, 270, 273 and 279. 

B. What Decisions Have We Made in 

This Rule? 

We have preliminarily determined 

that Michigan’s application to revise its 

authorized program meets all of the 

statutory and regulatory requirements 

established by RCRA. Therefore, we 

propose to grant Michigan final 

authorization to operate its hazardous 

waste program with the changes 

described in the authorization revision 

application. Michigan will have 

responsibility for permitting treatment, 

storage, and disposal facilities (TSDFs) 

within its borders (except in Indian 

Country) and for carrying out the 

aspects of the RCRA program described 

in its revised program revision 

application, subject to the limitations of 

the Hazardous and Solid Waste 

Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). New 

Federal requirements and prohibitions 

imposed by Federal regulations that 

EPA promulgates under the authority of 

HSWA take effect in authorized States 

before they are authorized for the 

requirements. Thus, EPA will 

implement those requirements and 

prohibitions in Michigan, including 

issuing permits, until the State is 

granted authorization to do so. 

C. What Will Be the Effect If Michigan 

Is Authorized for These Changes? 

If Michigan is authorized for these 

changes, a facility in Michigan subject 

to RCRA will have to comply with the 

authorized State requirements instead of 

the equivalent Federal requirements in 

order to comply with RCRA. 

Additionally, such persons will have to 

comply with any applicable Federal 

requirements, such as HSWA 

regulations issued by EPA for which the 

State has not received authorization and 

RCRA requirements that are not 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
52162 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 195 / Friday, October 9, 2009 / Proposed Rules 

supplanted by authorized State-issued 

requirements. Michigan has 

enforcement responsibilities under its 

State hazardous waste program for 

violations of such program, but EPA 

retains its authority under RCRA 

sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, 

which include, among others, authority 

to: 

1. Do inspections, and require 

monitoring, tests, analyses, or reports; 

2. Enforce RCRA requirements and 

suspend or revoke permits; and 

3. Take enforcement actions 

regardless of whether the State has 

taken its own actions. 

This proposed action would not 

impose additional requirements on the 

regulated community because the 

regulations for which Michigan would 

be authorized are already effective, and 

would not be changed by the act of 

authorization. 

D. What Happens If EPA Receives 

Comments on This Action? 

If EPA receives comments on this 

proposed action, we will address those 

comments in a later final rule. You may 

not have another opportunity to 

comment. If you want to comment on 

this authorization, you must do so at 

this time. 

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 Proposing? 

On September 26, 2008, Michigan 

submitted a complete program revision 

application seeking authorization of its 

changes in accordance with 40 CFR 

271.21. We have preliminarily 

determined that Michigan’s hazardous 

waste management program revision 

satisfies all requirements necessary to 

qualify for final authorization. 

Therefore, we propose to grant Michigan 

final authorization for the following 

program changes:

G. Where Are the Revised State Rules 

Different From the Federal Rules? 

The most significant differences 

between the State rules we are 

proposing to authorize and Federal rules 

are summarized below. It should be 

noted that this summary does not 

describe every difference or every detail 

regarding the differences that are 

described. Members of the regulated 

community are advised to read the 

complete rules to ensure that they 

understand the requirements with 

which they will need to comply. 

There are aspects of the Michigan 

program which are more stringent than 

the Federal program. All of these more 

stringent requirements are or will 

become part of the Federally enforceable 

RCRA program when authorized by the 

EPA, and must be complied with in 

addition to the State requirements 

which track the minimum Federal 

requirements. These more stringent 

requirements are found at (references 

are to the Michigan Administrative 

Code): 

Michigan does not allow containment 

buildings, making the State 

requirements more stringent than the 

Federal requirements at 40 CFR part 264 

subpart DD, 40 CFR 265 subpart DD, 

and 40 CFR part 264 appendix I, Tables 

1 and 2. 

Michigan’s regulations at R 

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

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

299.9615; and R 299.9702(1) are more 

stringent than the Federal analogs at 40 

CFR 265.56(b), 265.71, 265.72, 

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

265.193, 265.194, 265.197, 265.201, and 

265.340(b)(1) since the State requires 

compliance with standards equivalent 

to 40 CFR part 264 rather then 40 CFR 

part 265. 

Michigan’s regulations at R 

299.11002(1) and (2) are more stringent 

than the Federal analogs at 40 CFR 

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

adopts updated versions of the 

‘‘Flammable and Combustible Liquids 

Code.’’ 

H. Who Handles Permits After the 

Authorization Takes Effect? 

Michigan will continue to issue 

permits for all the provisions for which 

it is authorized and will administer the 

permits it issues. EPA will continue to 

administer any RCRA hazardous waste 

permits or portions of permits which we 

issued prior to the effective date of this 

authorization until they expire or are 

terminated. We will not issue any more 

new permits or new portions of permits 

for the provisions listed in the tables 

above after the effective date of this 

authorization. EPA will continue to 

implement and issue permits for HSWA 

requirements for which Michigan is not 

yet authorized. 

I. How Would Authorizing Michigan for 

These Revisions Affect Indian Country 

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

Michigan is not authorized to carry 

out its hazardous waste program in 

Indian Country within the State, as 

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

includes: 

1. All lands within the exterior 

boundaries of Indian reservations 

within the State of Michigan; 

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

for an Indian Tribe; and 

3. Any other land, whether on or off 

an Indian reservation that qualifies as 

Indian country. 

Therefore, authorizing Michigan for 

these revisions would not affect Indian 

Country in Michigan. EPA would 

continue to implement and administer 

the RCRA program in Indian country. It 

is EPA’s long-standing position that the 

term ‘‘Indian lands’’ used in past 

Michigan hazardous waste approvals is 

synonymous with the term ‘‘Indian 

Country.’’ Washington Dep’t of Ecology 

v. U.S. EPA, 752 F.2d 1465, 1467, n.1 

(9th Cir. 1985). See 40 CFR 144.3 and 

258.2. 

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 

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 proposed rule only authorizes 

hazardous waste requirements pursuant 

to RCRA 3006 and imposes no 

requirements other than those imposed 

by State law (see SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION, Section A. Why are 

Revisions to State Programs Necessary?). 

Therefore this rule complies with 

applicable executive orders and 

statutory provisions as follows: 

1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory 

Planning Review 

The Office of Management and Budget 

has exempted this rule from its review 

under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993). 

2. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This rule does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

3. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

After considering the economic 

impacts of today’s rule on small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.), I certify that this rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities. 

4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

Because this rule approves 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).

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 195 / Friday, October 9, 2009 / Proposed Rules 52173 

6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000) does not apply to 

this rule because it will not have Tribal 

implications (i.e., substantial direct 

effects on one or more Indian Tribes, on 

the relationship between the Federal 

government and Indian Tribes, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

government and Indian Tribes.) 

7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

and Safety Risks 

This rule is not subject to Executive 

Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 

1997), because it is not economically 

significant as defined in Executive 

Order 12866 and because the EPA does 

not have reason to believe the 

environmental health or safety risks 

addressed by this action present a 

disproportionate risk to children. 

8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This rule is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 

2001), because it is not a significant 

regulatory action as defined in 

Executive Order 12866. 

9. National Technology Transfer 

Advancement Act 

EPA approves State programs as long 

as they meet criteria required by RCRA, 

so it would be inconsistent with 

applicable law for EPA, in its review of 

a State program, to require the use of 

any particular voluntary consensus 

standard in place of another standard 

that meets requirements of RCRA. Thus, 

the requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply to this rule. 

10. Executive Order 12988 

As required by section 3 of Executive 

Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 

1996), in issuing this rule, EPA has 

taken the necessary steps to eliminate 

drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize 

potential litigation, and provide a clear 

legal standard for affected conduct. 

11. Executive Order 12630: Evaluation 

of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated 

Takings 

EPA has complied with Executive 

Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 18, 

1988) by examining the takings 

implications of the rule in accordance 

with the Attorney General’s 

Supplemental Guidelines for the 

Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of 

Unanticipated Takings issued under the 

executive order. 

12. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and Low 

Income Populations 

Because this rule proposes 

authorization of pre-existing State rules 

and imposes no additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by State law and 

there are no anticipated significant 

adverse human health or environmental 

effects, the rule is not subject to 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994).
