Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 6, 2000 / Notices 35927

In May 2000, Staff from EPA’s Office

of Research and Development (ORD)

requested that CASAC, through its

Technical Subcommittee on Fine

Particle Monitoring, conduct a peer

review of the report prepared in

response to Section 6102(e) of the

Transportation Equity Act for the 21st

Century, which states: ‘‘The

Administrator shall conduct a field

study of the ability of the PM2.5 Federal

Reference Method to differentiate those

particles that are larger than 2.5

micrograms [sic] in diameter. This study

shall be completed and provided to the

Committee on Commerce of the House

of Representatives and the Committee

on Environment and Public Works of the

United States Senate no later than two

years from the date of enactment of this

Act.’’ 

Charge to the Subcommittee: ORD has

had the draft report reviewed by two

external expert reviewers, incorporating

their comments prior to submitting the

report to the CASAC Subcommittee for

a full independent peer review. The

Agency has asked that the

Subcommittee respond to the following

questions: (a) Has the proper

methodology been used to address the

requirement in the Transportation

Equity Act? (b) Was the methodology

applied correctly? and (c) Is the Report’s

interpretation correct? The

Subcommittee may also address other

issues.

Guam; Final Program Determination of

Adequacy of State Municipal Solid

Waste Landfill Permit Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final determination of

adequacy of Guam’s municipal solid

waste landfill permit program.

SUMMARY: On August 24, 1998 Guam

applied for a determination of adequacy

of its municipal solid waste landfill

permit program under section 4005 of

the Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act (RCRA). This section

requires States to develop and

implement permit programs that ensure

that Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

(MSWLFs) which may receive

hazardous household waste or small

quantity generator waste are obligated to

comply with the revised Federal

MSWLF Criteria (40 CFR part 258).

RCRA section 4005(c)(1)(C) requires the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

to determine whether States have

adequate ‘‘permit’’ programs for

MSWLFs, but does not mandate

issuance of a rule for such

determination. Guam is identified as a

‘‘State’’ in 40 CFR 258.2.

Guam applied for a determination of

adequacy under section 4005 of RCRA.

EPA reviewed Guam’s application and

proposed a determination that Guam’s

MSWLF permit program is adequate to

ensure compliance with the revised

MSWLF Criteria. Further background on

the tentative determination of adequacy

appears at 64 FR 54013, Oct. 5, 1999.

Along with the tentative determination,

EPA announced the availability of the

application for public comment. EPA

offered to hold a public hearing if a

sufficient number of people requested

such a hearing. There were no requests

for a public hearing, so a hearing was

not held. EPA did not receive any

comments on Guam’s application.

Therefore, EPA is today issuing a final

determination that the State’s program

is adequate.

The full Guam application is on file

and may be reviewed at the regional

EPA office in San Francisco, California

or alternatively at the offices of the

Guam Environmental Protection

Agency, Calibration Laboratory

Building, 15–6101 Mariner Avenue,

Tiyan, Barrigada, Guam.

Today’s action takes effect without

further notice in 60 days unless the

Agency receives relevant adverse

comment or notice that someone

intends to submit a relevant adverse

comment within 30 days. Should the

Agency receive such comments or

notice, it will publish a timely notice

informing the public that this rule has

not taken effect.

FINAL ACTION: Guam is granted full

program determination of adequacy for

all areas of its municipal solid waste

landfill permit program. By this action,

EPA is granting Guam full program

determination of adequacy for all parts

of its municipal solid waste landfill

permit program.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The determination of

adequacy for Guam shall be June 6,

2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

35928 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 109 / Tuesday, June 6, 2000 / Notices

Administrative Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this regulatory action

from Executive Order 12866 review.

B. Certification Under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act

Pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C.

605(b), I hereby certify that this final

approval will not have a significant

impact on a substantial number of small

entities. It does not impose any new

burdens on small entities. This notice,

therefore, does not require a regulatory

flexibility analysis.

C. Unfunded Mandates Act

Under section 202 of the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995, EPA

must prepare a budgetary impact

statement to accompany any proposed

or final rule that includes a federal

mandate that may result in estimated

costs to state or local governments in the

aggregate, or to the private sector, or

$100 million or more. The EPA has

determined that the approval action

being promulgated does not include a

federal mandate that may result in

estimated costs of $100 million or more

to either state or local governments in

the aggregate, or to the private sector.

This federal action approves preexisting

requirements under state law, and

imposes no new requirements.

Accordingly, no additional costs to State

or local governments, or to the private

sector, result from this action.

D. Executive Order 12875

Executive Order 12875 is intended to

develop an effective process to permit

elected officials and other

representatives of state or local

governments to provide meaningful

input in the development of regulatory

proposals containing significant

unfunded mandates. Since this final

federal action approves preexisting

requirements of state law, no new

unfunded mandates result from this

action. See also the discussion under C,

above, Unfunded Mandates Act.

E. Executive Order 13045

Executive Order 13045, effective April

21, 1997, concerns protection of

children from environmental health and

safety risks, and applies to regulatory

action that is ‘‘economically significant’’

in that such action may result in an

annual effect on the economy of $100

million or more. The EPA has

determined that the approval action

being promulgated will not have a

significant effect on the economy. This

federal action approves preexisting

requirements under state law, and

imposes no new requirements.

Accordingly, Executive Order 13045

does not apply to this action.

F. Congressional Review Act

Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A), as added

by the Small Business Regulatory

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, EPA

submitted a report containing this

action and other required information to

the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of

Representatives and the Comptroller

General of the General Accounting

Office prior to publication of this action

in today’s Federal Register. This action

is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5

U.S.C. 804(2).

Authority: This notice is issued under the

authority of section 4005 of the Solid Waste

Disposal Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6946.

Dated: May 23, 2000.
