(regulator) of the WIPP disposal facility. 

Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not 

apply to this rule. In the spirit of 

Executive Order 13132, and consistent 

with the Agency’s policy to promote 

communications between the EPA and 

state and local governments, the EPA 

specifically solicited comment on the 

proposed rule from state and local 

officials. 

I. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

Executive Order 13175, entitled 

‘‘Consultation and Coordination with 

Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 

67249; November 9, 2000), requires the 

EPA to develop an accountable process 

to ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input 

by tribal officials in the development of 

regulatory policies that have tribal 

implications.’’ This rule does not have 

tribal implications, as specified in 

Executive Order 13175. This action 

revises a condition of the Compliance 

Criteria in 40 CFR part 194. The 

Compliance Criteria are applicable only 

to Federal agencies. Thus, Executive 

Order 13175 does not apply to this rule. 

J. Executive Order 13211: Energy Effects 

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.

or Administrator’s authorized representative 

will determine whether the change differs 

significantly from the design included in the 

most recent compliance certification, and 

whether the planned change would require 

modification of the compliance criteria. The 

EPA’s approval of a panel closure change 

request requires that performance assessment

panel closure design, and that those 

calculations demonstrate the WIPP’s 

compliance with the release standards set by 

40 CFR part 191, Subpart B in accordance 

with § 194.34, Results of performance

Florida: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Immediate final rule. 

SUMMARY: Florida has applied to the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

for final authorization of changes to its 

hazardous waste program 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 immediate final rule. In the 

‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of today’s 

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 

Florida’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 today’s immediate 

final rule before it takes effect, and the 

separate document published in today’s 

‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of this 

Federal Register will serve as the 

proposal to authorize the changes. 

DATES: This final authorization will 

become effective on December 8, 2014 

unless EPA receives adverse written 

comment by November 7, 2014. If EPA 

receives such comment, EPA will 

publish a timely withdrawal of this 

immediate 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 Florida, 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 August 10, 2009, July 1, 2010, and 

August 30, 2012, Florida 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, 2007 and 

June 30, 2009, and July 1, 2010 and June 

30, 2011 (also known as RCRA Clusters 

XVIII, XIX, and XXI). EPA concludes 

that Florida’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 Florida 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. 

Florida has responsibility for 

permitting treatment, storage, and 

disposal facilities within its borders 

(except in Indian Country) 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 Florida’s 

authorization applications will become 

part of the authorized State hazardous 

waste program, and will therefore be 

federally enforceable. Florida 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 Florida is being 

authorized by today’s action are already 

effective, and enforceable requirements 

under State law, and are not changed by 

today’s action. 

D. Why wasn’t there a proposed rule 

before today’s rule? 

Along with this immediate final rule, 

EPA is publishing a separate document 

in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of 

today’s 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 

today’s immediate 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 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with FRONTMATTER
60758 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 8, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

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 

today’s immediate 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 Florida previously been 

authorized for? 

Florida initially received Final 

authorization on January 29, 1985, 

effective February 12, 1985 (50 FR 

3908), to implement a RCRA hazardous 

waste management program. EPA 

granted authorization for changes to 

Florida’s program on December 1, 1987, 

effective March 3, 1988 (52 FR 45634); 

December 16, 1988, effective January 3, 

1989 (53 FR 50529); December 14, 1990, 

effective February 12, 1991 (55 FR 

51416); February 5, 1992, effective April 

6, 1992 (57 FR 4371); February 7, 1992, 

effective April 7, 1992 (57 FR 4738); 

May 20, 1992, effective July 20, 1992 (57 

FR 21351); November 9, 1993, effective 

January 10, 1994 (58 FR 59367); July 11, 

1994, effective September 9, 1994 (59 

FR 35266); April 16, 1994, effective 

October 17, 1994 (59 FR 41979); October 

26, 1994, effective December 27, 1994 

(59 FR 53753); April 1, 1997, effective 

June 2, 1997 (62 FR 15407); September 

18, 2000, effective November 18, 2000 

(65 FR 56256); August 23, 2001, 

effective October 22, 2001 (66 FR 

44307); August 20, 2002, effective 

October 21, 2002 (67 FR 53886 and 67 

FR 53889); October 14, 2004, effective 

December 13, 2004 (69 FR 60964); 

August 10, 2007, effective October 9, 

2007 (72 FR 44973); and February 7, 

2011, effective April 8, 2011 (76 FR 

6564). The authorized Florida program, 

through RCRA Cluster IV, was 

incorporated by reference into the CFR 

on January 20, 1998, effective March 23, 

1998 (63 FR 2896). 

G. What changes is EPA authorizing 

with this action? 

On August 10, 2009, July 1, 2010, and 

August 30, 2012, Florida submitted final 

complete program revision applications 

seeking authorization of its changes in 

accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. EPA 

now makes an immediate final decision, 

subject to receipt of written comments 

that oppose this action, that Florida’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 Florida final authorization for the 

following program changes:

provisions for RCRA Cluster XXI (Checklists 225–227) are from F.A.C. Chapter 62–730, effective June 29, 2012. 

H. Where are the revised State rules 

different from the Federal rules? 

There are no State requirements in the 

authorized program revisions listed 

above that are considered to be more 

stringent or broader in scope than the 

Federal requirements. However, Florida 

has made several State-initiated changes 

to its regulations that the EPA considers 

to be beyond the scope of the Federal 

program. These broader-in-scope 

requirements include the following: 

• Form 8700–12F, to the extent that it 

requires notification for used oil filter 

transporters, transfer facilities, 

processors, and end users. 

• F.A.C. 62–730.171(3)(a)(1), which 

requires that a transfer facility’s initial 

notification include a certification that 

the proposed location of the transfer 

facility satisfies the criteria of F.S. 

403.7211(2). 

• F.A.C. 62–730.182, which adds 

criteria to determine whether changes at 

a hazardous waste facility constitute a 

‘‘substantial modification’’ for purposes 

of the location standards of F.S. 

403.7211. 

Broader-in-scope requirements are not 

part of the State’s authorized program 

and EPA cannot enforce them. Although 

these requirements must be complied 

with in accordance with State law, they 

are not RCRA requirements. 

With this immediate final rule, EPA is 

also correcting an error that appeared in 

the February 7, 2011, Federal Register 

document authorizing certain other 

changes to Florida’s hazardous waste 

program. At that time, EPA concluded 

that Florida’s universal pharmaceutical 

waste rule, F.A.C. 62–730.186, was 

broader in scope than the Federal 

program. This determination was in 

error. Florida was previously authorized 

on April 1, 1997, 62 FR 15407, for its 

universal waste rules, F.A.C. 62– 

730.185, which allow the State to add 

additional wastes to its list of universal 

wastes. As a result, Florida’s addition of 

hazardous pharmaceutical waste to its 

universal waste rules is appropriate and 

consistent with 40 CFR part 273, 

subpart G. Therefore, at this time, EPA 

is authorizing the specific management 

requirements for universal 

pharmaceutical waste as set forth at 

F.A.C. 62–730.186, as revised on April 

23, 2013. These requirements are 

different, but equivalent to, the Federal 

program. 

I. Who handles permits after the 

authorization takes effect? 

Florida will issue permits for all the 

provisions for which it is authorized 

and will administer the permits it 

issues. EPA will continue to administer 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with FRONTMATTER
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 8, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 60759 

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 Florida is not 

authorized. 

J. How does today’s action affect Indian 

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

Florida is not authorized to carry out 

its hazardous waste program in Indian 

Country within the State, which 

includes the Seminole Tribe of Florida 

and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of 

Florida. EPA will continue to 

implement and administer the RCRA 

program in these lands. 

K. What is codification and is EPA 

codifying Florida’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 Florida’s changes at 

this time. However, EPA reserves the 

amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart 

K, for the authorization of Florida’s 

program changes at a later date. 

L. Administrative Requirements 

The Office of Management and Budget 

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 

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 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 December 8, 

2014, unless objections to this 

authorization are received.

Significant New Use Rule on Certain 

Chemical Substances; Technical 

Correction 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; technical correction. 

SUMMARY: EPA issued final significant 

new use rules (SNURs) in the Federal 

Register of September 2, 2014 for 36 

chemical substances which were the 

subject of premanufacture notices 

(PMNs). For the chemical substance 

identified generically as diisocyanate 

terminated polycarbodiimide (PMN P– 

04–640), EPA inadvertently omitted the 

de minimus exemption from the worker 

protection requirements. Also, for the 

chemical substance identified 

generically as hexanedioic acid, 

polymer with .alpha.-hydro-.omega.- 

hydroxypoly[oxy(methyl-1,2- 

ethanediyl)],1,1′-methylenebis[4- 

isocyanatobenzene], dihydroxydialkyl
