Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 14847 

5. Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect 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. We have 

analyzed this rule under that Order and 

determined that this rule does not have 

implications for federalism. 

6. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to contact the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT, section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places or vessels. 

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this rule 

will not result in such expenditure, we 

do discuss the effects of this rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

8. Taking of Private Property 

This rule will not cause a taking of 

private property or otherwise have 

taking implications under Executive 

Order 12630, Governmental Actions and 

Interference with Constitutionally 

Protected Property Rights. 

9. Civil Justice Reform 

This rule meets applicable standards 

in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive 

Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to 

minimize litigation, eliminate 

ambiguity, and reduce burden. 

10. Protection of Children 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Executive Order 13045, Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not 

an economically significant rule and 

does not create an environmental risk to 

health or risk to safety that may 

disproportionately affect children. 

11. Indian Tribal Governments 

This rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does not have a substantial 

direct effect 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. 

12. Energy Effects 

This action is not a ‘‘significant 

energy action’’ under Executive Order 

13211, Actions Concerning Regulations 

That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use. 

13. Technical Standards 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have determined that this action is one 

of a category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule establishes an 

emergency safety zone for waters of the 

Allegheny River within the COTP 

Pittsburgh Zone. This rule is 

categorically excluded from further 

review under paragraph 34(g) of figure 

2–1 of the Commandant Instruction an 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination and a 

Categorical Exclusion Determination are 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this rule.

Tennessee: Final Authorization of 

State Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: Tennessee has applied to the 

United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) for final authorization of 

changes to its hazardous waste program 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

14848 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

under the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has 

determined that these changes satisfy all 

requirements needed to qualify for final 

authorization, and is authorizing the 

State’s changes through this direct final 

rule. In the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of 

this issue of the Federal Register, EPA 

is also publishing a separate document 

that serves as the proposal to authorize 

these changes. EPA believes this action 

is not controversial and does not expect 

comments that oppose it. Unless EPA 

receives written comments that oppose 

this authorization during the comment 

period, the decision to authorize 

Tennessee’s changes to its hazardous 

waste program will take effect. If EPA 

receives comments that oppose this 

action, EPA will publish a document in 

the Federal Register withdrawing this 

direct final rule before it takes effect, 

and the separate document published in 

the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of this 

issue of the Federal Register will serve 

as the proposal to authorize the changes. 

DATES: This final authorization will 

become effective on May 19, 2015 

unless EPA receives adverse written 

comment by April 20, 2015. If EPA 

receives such comment, EPA will 

publish a timely withdrawal of this 

direct final rule in the Federal Register 

and inform the public that this 

authorization will not take effect.

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 268, 270, 273, and 279. 

New Federal requirements and 

prohibitions imposed by Federal 

regulations that EPA promulgates 

pursuant to the Hazardous and Solid 

Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) 

take effect in authorized States at the 

same time that they take effect in 

unauthorized States. Thus, EPA will 

implement those requirements and 

prohibitions in Tennessee, including the 

issuance of new permits implementing 

those requirements, until the State is 

granted authorization to do so. 

B. What decisions has EPA made in this 

rule? 

On March 9, 2010 and January 15, 

2013, Tennessee submitted final 

complete program revision applications 

seeking authorization of changes to its 

hazardous waste program that 

correspond to certain Federal rules 

promulgated between July 1, 2004 and 

June 30, 2006 (also known as RCRA 

Clusters XV and XVI). Tennessee 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 14849 

supplemented these applications on 

September 16, 2014. EPA concludes that 

Tennessee’s applications to revise its 

authorized program meet all of the 

statutory and regulatory requirements 

established by RCRA, as set forth in 

RCRA section 3006(b), 42 U.S.C. 

6926(b), and 40 CFR part 271. Therefore, 

EPA grants Tennessee final 

authorization to operate its hazardous 

waste program with the changes 

described in the authorization 

applications, and as outlined below in 

Section G of this document. 

Tennessee has responsibility for 

permitting treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities within its borders and 

for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA 

program described in its revised 

program applications, subject to the 

limitations of HSWA, as discussed 

above. 

C. What is the effect of this 

authorization decision? 

The effect of this decision is that the 

changes described in Tennessee’s 

authorization applications will become 

part of the authorized State hazardous 

waste program, and will therefore be 

federally enforceable. Tennessee will 

continue to have primary enforcement 

authority and responsibility for its State 

hazardous waste program. EPA retains 

its authorities under RCRA sections 

3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, including 

its authority to: 

• Conduct inspections, and require 

monitoring, tests, analyses, or reports; 

• Enforce RCRA requirements, 

including authorized State program 

requirements, and suspend or revoke 

permits; and 

• 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 Tennessee is 

being authorized by this action are 

already effective and enforceable 

requirements under State law, and are 

not changed by this action. 

D. Why wasn’t there a proposed rule 

before this rule? 

Along with this direct final rule, EPA 

is publishing a separate document in the 

‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of this issue 

of the Federal Register that serves as the 

proposal to authorize these State 

program changes. EPA did not publish 

a proposed rule before today because 

EPA views this as a routine program 

change and does not expect comments 

that oppose this approval. EPA is 

providing an opportunity for public 

comment now, as described in Section 

E of this document. 

E. What happens if EPA receives 

comments that oppose this action? 

If EPA receives comments that oppose 

this authorization, EPA will withdraw 

this direct final rule by publishing a 

document in the Federal Register before 

the rule becomes effective. EPA will 

base any further decision on the 

authorization of the State program 

changes on the proposed rule 

mentioned in the previous section, after 

considering all comments received 

during the comment period, and will 

address all such comments in a later 

final rule. You may not have another 

opportunity to comment on these State 

program changes. If you want to 

comment on this authorization, you 

must do so at this time. 

If EPA receives comments that oppose 

only the authorization of a particular 

change to the State hazardous waste 

program, EPA will withdraw that part of 

this direct final rule, but the 

authorization of the program changes 

that the comments do not oppose will 

become effective on the date specified 

above. The Federal Register withdrawal 

document will specify which part of the 

authorization will become effective, and 

which part is being withdrawn. 

F. What has Tennessee previously been 

authorized for? 

Tennessee initially received final 

authorization on January 22, 1985, 

effective February 5, 1985 (50 FR 2820), 

to implement a RCRA hazardous waste 

management program. EPA granted 

authorization for changes to Tennessee’s 

program on the following dates: June 12, 

1987, effective August 11, 1987 (52 FR 

22443); June 1, 1992, effective July 31, 

1992 (57 FR 23063); May 8, 1995, 

effective July 7, 1995 (60 FR 22524); 

August 24, 1995, effective October 23, 

1995 (60 FR 43979); May 23, 1996, 

effective July 22, 1996 (61 FR 25796); 

January 30, 1998, effective March 31, 

1998 (63 FR 4587); September 15, 1999, 

effective November 15, 1999 (64 FR 

49998); October 26, 2000, effective 

December 26, 2000 (65 FR 64161); 

December 26, 2001, effective February 

25, 2002 (66 FR 66342); April 11, 2003, 

effective June 10, 2003 (68 FR 17748); 

March 14, 2005, effective May 13, 2005 

(70 FR 12416); May 11, 2006, effective 

July 10, 2006 (71 FR 27405); and 

October 5, 2012, effective December 4, 

2012 (77 FR 60919). 

G. What changes is EPA authorizing 

with this action? 

On March 9, 2010 and January 15, 

2013, Tennessee submitted final 

complete program revision applications 

seeking authorization of its changes in 

accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. 

Tennessee supplemented these 

applications on September 16, 2014. 

EPA now makes an immediate final 

decision, subject to receipt of written 

comments that oppose this action, that 

Tennessee’s hazardous waste program 

revisions 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. 

Therefore, EPA grants Tennessee final 

authorization for the following program 

changes:

1The Tennessee provisions for RCRA Cluster XV (Checklists 206, 207, and 208) and Cluster XVI (Checklists 209, 211, and 213) are from the 

Tennessee Hazardous Waste Management Regulations, Chapter 0400–12–01, effective November 5, 2013. 2 Chapter 1200–01–11 was renumbered as Chapter 0400–12–01, effective September 17, 2012. The chapter title, ‘‘Hazardous Waste Management,’’ remained the same and the contents of the chapter did not change as a result of the renumbering. 

H. Where are the revised State rules 

different from the Federal rules? 

We consider Tennessee Hazardous 

Waste Management Regulations 0400– 

12–01–.05(5)(d)2 and –.06(5)(d)2 to be 

more stringent than the Federal 

counterparts at 40 CFR 265.73(b) and 

264.73(b) because the State requires 

owners and operators of interim status 

and permitted treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities to maintain 

information in the facility’s operating 

record on site for no less than five (5) 

years. The Federal requirements at 40 

CFR 265.73(b) and 264.73(b) require that 

owners and operators of the same types 

of facilities maintain such records for no 

less than three (3) years. These five-year 

document retention requirements are 

part of the Tennessee authorized 

program and are federally enforceable. 

I. Who handles permits after the 

authorization takes effect? 

Tennessee 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 EPA issued 

prior to the effective date of this 

authorization until they expire or are 

terminated. EPA will not issue any more 

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 Tennessee is not 

authorized. 

J. What is codification and is EPA 

codifying Tennessee’s hazardous waste 

program as authorized in this rule? 

Codification is the process of placing 

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 

referencing the authorized State rules in 

40 CFR part 272. EPA is not codifying 

the authorization of Tennessee’s 

changes at this time. However, EPA 

reserves the amendment of 40 CFR part 

272, subpart RR, for the authorization of 

Tennessee’s program changes at a later 

date. 

K. Administrative Requirements 

The Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) has exempted this action from 

the requirements of Executive Order 

12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), 

and therefore this action is not subject 

to review by OMB. This action 

authorizes State requirements for the 

purpose of RCRA 3006 and imposes no 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by State law. Accordingly, I 

certify that this action 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.). Because this action 

authorizes pre-existing 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). For the same reason, 

this action also does not significantly or 

uniquely affect the communities of 

Tribal governments, as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000). This action will not 

have 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, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999), because it merely 

authorizes State requirements as part of 

the State RCRA hazardous waste 

program without altering the 

relationship or the distribution of power 

and responsibilities established by 

RCRA. This action also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it is not 

economically significant and it does not 

make decisions based on environmental 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

14852 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 54 / Friday, March 20, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

health or safety risks. This rule is not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001) because it is not a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866. 

Under RCRA section 3006(b), EPA 

grants a State’s application for 

authorization as long as the State meets 

the criteria required by RCRA. It would 

thus be inconsistent with applicable law 

for EPA, when it reviews a State 

authorization application, to require the 

use of any particular voluntary 

consensus standard in place of another 

standard that otherwise satisfies the 

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. 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. EPA has complied 

with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 

8859, March 15, 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. 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. 

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 document 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 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). This 

action will be effective May 19, 2015, 

unless objections to this authorization 

are received.

Regulation (FTR) concerning calculation 

of reimbursement for taxes on relocation 

and extended temporary duty (TDY) 

benefits. Inadvertently, sections 

pertaining to Employee Responsibilities 

and Agency Responsibilities in subpart 

F were not removed. This document 

removes those sections. 

DATES:

Effective: This rule is effective on 

March 20, 2015. 

Applicability date: This rule is 

applicable for employees who relocated 

beginning January 1, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

GSA published a final rule in the 

Federal Register at 79 FR 49640, August 

21, 2014, to update the Federal Travel 

Regulation (FTR) for Temporary Duty 

(TDY) Travel Allowances and 

Relocation Allowances (Taxes). 

Inadvertently the amendment did not 

include the removal of sections §§ 301– 

11.621 through 301–11.628, and 301– 

11.631 through 301–11.640 in part 301– 

11, subpart F. Therefore, GSA is issuing 

this amendment correction to the final 

rule to further amend the FTR by 

removing those sections.
