[EPA–HQ–OW–2012–0186; FRL–9924–94– 

OW] 

State of Washington Underground 

Injection Control (UIC) Program 

Revision Approval 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct 

final action to approve the State of 

Washington Underground Injection 

Control (UIC) Program revisions as 

required by rule under the Safe Drinking 

Water Act (SDWA). The Agency 

determined that the state’s program 

revisions are consistent with the 


Rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
18320 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 65 / Monday, April 6, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

provisions of the SDWA and are as 

stringent as all applicable federal 

regulations to prevent underground 

injection activities that endanger 

underground sources of drinking water. 

The state revised its UIC Class V 

Program regulations and transferred 

oversight authority from the Department 

of Ecology to the Energy Facility Site 

Evaluation Council to issue UIC permits 

at energy facilities. 

DATES: This rule is effective on July 6, 

2015 without further notice, unless EPA 

receives adverse comment by May 6, 

2015. If EPA receives adverse comment, 

the Agency will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect. For judicial purposes, 

EPA promulgates this final rule as of 

July 6, 2015. The incorporation by 

reference of certain publications listed 

in the rule is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of July 6, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Why is EPA issuing a direct final 

rule? 

EPA published this rule without a 

prior proposed rule because the Agency 

views this action as noncontroversial 

and anticipates no adverse comment. 

However, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ 

section of this Federal Register, EPA 

published a separate document that 

serves as the proposed rule if the 

Agency receives adverse comments on 

this direct final rule. The Agency will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting must do so at this time. For 

further information about commenting 

on this rule, see the ADDRESSES section 

of this document. 

If EPA receives adverse comment, the 

Agency will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register, 

informing the public that this direct 

final rule will not take effect. The 

Agency will then address all public 

comments in any subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed rule.

III. Legal Authorities 

EPA approves the State of Washington 

Underground Injection Control (UIC) 

Program revisions, as required by rule 

under the SDWA, to prevent 

underground injection activities that 

endanger underground sources of 

drinking water. The state revised its UIC 

Class V Program regulations and 

transferred oversight authority from the 

Department of Ecology to the Energy 

Facility Site Evaluation Council to issue 

UIC permits at energy facilities. 

Accordingly, the Agency codifies the 

state regulations in the Code of Federal 

Regulations at 40 CFR part 147 under 

the authority of the SDWA, sections 

1422 and 1450, 42 U.S.C. 300h–1 and 

300j–9. 

The Agency’s approval is based on a 

legal and technical review of the state’s 

program revision application as directed 

at 40 CFR part 145 and the requirements 

for state permitting and compliance 

evaluation programs, enforcement 

authority and information sharing at 40 

CFR parts 124 and 144, to determine 

that the state’s revisions are as stringent 

as all applicable federal regulations. 

EPA oversees the state’s administration 

of the UIC program; part of the Agency’s 

oversight responsibility requires 

quarterly reports of non-compliance and 

annual UIC performance reports 

pursuant to 40 CFR 144.8. The 

Memorandum of Agreement between 

EPA and the state, signed by the 

Regional Administrator on February 15, 

2011, provides the Agency with the 

opportunity to review and comment on 

all permits. EPA continues to administer 

the UIC Class V Program on Indian 

lands located within the state. 

IV. Washington’s Application 

A. Public Participation Activities 

Conducted by EPA 

On March 8, 2013, EPA published 

notice of Washington’s Underground 

Injection Control Program Revision 

application in the Federal Register (78 

FR 14951), the Seattle Times on March 

6, 2013, and in the Yakima Herald on 

March 7, 2013. The local notices 

provided for a public hearing on April 

8, 2013. No one attended the public 

hearing and no public comments were 

received. 

B. Incorporation by Reference 

This direct final rule amends 40 CFR 

part 147 and incorporates by reference 

EPA-approved state statutes and 

regulations. The provisions of the State 

of Washington’s Code that contain 

standards, requirements and procedures 

applicable to owners or operators of UIC 

well classes I, II, III, IV, and V are 

incorporated by reference into 40 CFR 

part 147. Any provisions incorporated 

by reference, as well as all permit 

conditions or permit denials issued 

pursuant to such provisions, are 

enforceable by EPA pursuant to section 

1423 of the SDWA and 40 CFR 147.1(e). 

In order to better serve the public, the 

Agency reformatted the codification of 

EPA-approved Washington SDWA 

section 1422 UIC Program Statutes and 

Regulations for Well Classes I, II, III, IV, 

and V. Instead of codifying the 

Washington Statutes and Regulations as 

separate paragraphs, the Agency now 

codifies a binder that contains EPAapproved Washington Statutes and 

Regulations for Well Classes I, II, III, IV, 

and V. This binder is incorporated by 

reference into 40 CFR part 147 and 

available at http://www.regulations.gov 

in the docket for this rule. The Agency 

also codifies a table listing EPAapproved Washington Statutes and 

Regulations for Well Classes I, II, III, IV, 

and V in 40 CFR part 147. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review 

This action is not a significant 

regulatory action and was therefore not 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review. 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This action does not impose any new 

information collection burden. EPA 

determined that there is no need for an 

Information Collection Request under 

the Paperwork Reduction Act because 

this direct final rule does not impose 

any new federal reporting or 

recordkeeping requirements. Reporting 

or recordkeeping requirements are based 

on the State of Washington UIC 

Regulations, and the state is not subject 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act. 

However, OMB has previously approved 

the information collection requirements 

contained in the existing regulations (40 

CFR parts 144–148) under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and assigned 

OMB control number 2040–0042. The 

OMB control numbers for EPA’s 

regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 

CFR part 9. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

I certify that this action will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the RFA. In making this 

determination, the impact of concern is 

any significant adverse economic 

impact on small entities. An agency may 

certify that a rule will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities if 

the rule relieves regulatory burden, has 

no net burden or otherwise has a 

positive economic effect on the small 

entities subject to the rule. This action 

does not impose any new requirements 

on any regulated entities. It simply 

codifies the State of Washington’s Class 

V regulations, which are at least as 

stringent as the federal regulations. We 

have therefore concluded that this 

action will have no net regulatory 


Rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
18322 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 65 / Monday, April 6, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

burden for all directly regulated small 

entities. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

This action does not contain an 

unfunded mandate as described in 

UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1521–1538. The action 

imposes no enforceable duty on any 

state, local or tribal governments or the 

private sector. 

E. Executive Order 13132—Federalism 

This action does not have federalism 

implications. It 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. 

F. Executive Order 13175—Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action does not have tribal 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13175 as explained in section 

V.C. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does 

not apply to this action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health & 

Safety Risks 

EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 

as applying only to those regulatory 

actions that concern environmental 

health or safety risks that the Agency 

has reason to believe may 

disproportionately affect children, per 

the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory 

action’’ in section 2–202 of the 

Executive Order. This action is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

because it approves a state action as 

explained in section V.C. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211 because it is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

This rulemaking does not involve 

technical standards. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

EPA believes the human health or 

environmental risk addressed by this 

action will not have potential 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects 

on minority, low-income or indigenous 

populations because the rule does not 

affect or change the level of protection 

provided to human health or the 

environment. 

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 

This action is subject to the CRA, and 

EPA will submit a rule report to each 

House of the Congress and to the 

Comptroller General of the United 

States. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ 

as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
