• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• 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);

Delaware’s Regulation No. 1141

Limiting Emissions of Volatile Organic 

Compounds From Consumer and 

Commercial Products, does not have 

Tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the State, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on Tribal governments or preempt 

Tribal law.

Approval of the Clean Air Act, Section 

112(l), Authority for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants: Air Emission Standards for 

Halogenated Solvent Cleaning 

Machines: State of Rhode Island 

Department of Environmental 

Management 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: Under Clean Air Act section 

112(l), EPA may approve State or local 

rules or programs to be implemented 

and enforced in place of certain 

otherwise applicable Federal rules, 

emissions standards, or requirements. 

EPA proposes to approve Rhode Island 

Department of Environmental 

Management’s (‘‘RI DEM’s’’) request for 

approval to implement and enforce Air 

Pollution Control Regulation Number 

36, Control of Emissions from Organic 

Solvent Cleaning (‘‘RI Regulation No. 

36’’) and Rhode Island Air Pollution 

Control, General Definitions Regulation 

(‘‘RI General Definitions Rule’’), as a 

partial substitution for the National 

Emissions Standards for Halogenated 

Solvent Cleaning (‘‘Halogenated Solvent 

NESHAP’’) as it applies to organic 

solvent cleaning machines in Rhode 

Island, except for continuous web 

cleaning machines. This approval 

would grant RI DEM the authority to 

implement and enforce RI Regulation 

No. 36 and the RI General Definitions 

Rule in place of the Halogenated 

Solvent NESHAP for organic solvent 

cleaning machines and would make the 

Rhode Island Department of 

Environmental Management’s rules 

referenced above Federally enforceable. 

Continuous web cleaning machines 

would remain subject to the 

Halogenated Solvent NESHAP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules Section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State of 

Rhode Island’s Section 112(l) submittal 

as a direct final rule without prior 

proposal because the Agency views this 

as a noncontroversial submittal and 

anticipates no adverse comments. A 

detailed rationale for the approval is set 

forth in the direct final rule. If no 

adverse comments are received in 

response to this action rule, no further 

activity is contemplated. If EPA receives 

adverse comments, the direct final rule 

will be withdrawn and all public 

comments received will then be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse

Washington: Proposed Authorization 

of State Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: Washington has applied to 

EPA for final authorization of certain 

changes to its hazardous waste 

management program under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act, as amended, (RCRA). EPA has 

reviewed Washington’s application and 

has preliminarily determined that these 

changes satisfy all requirements needed 

to qualify for final authorization and is 

proposing to authorize Washington’s 

changes. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule 

must be received by July 19, 2010.

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 

management 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 Title 40 of the 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 Washington’s application to revise 

its authorized program meets all of the 

statutory and regulatory requirements 

established by RCRA. Therefore, we 

propose to grant Washington final 

authorization to operate its hazardous 

waste management program with the 

changes as described in its revised 

program application. Washington will 

have responsibility for permitting 

treatment, storage, and disposal 

facilities (TSDFs) within its borders, 

except in Indian country (18 U.S.C. 

1151), and for carrying out the aspects 

of the RCRA program described in its 

revised program 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, which are more 

stringent than existing requirements, 

take effect in authorized States before 

the State is authorized for these 

requirements. Thus, EPA will 

implement those requirements and 

prohibitions in Washington, including 

issuing permits, until the State is 

granted authorization to do so. 

C. What is the effect of this 

authorization decision? 

If Washington is authorized for these 

changes, a facility in Washington 

subject to RCRA will have to comply 

with the authorized State requirements 

instead of the corresponding Federal 

requirements in order to comply with 

RCRA. Additionally, such persons will
