 Environmental Protection Agency 40 CFR Part 271
[EPA-R04-RCRA-2014-0712; FRL-9924-83-Region-4]
 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 
                        ( print page 14848)
                        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 
                    ( print page 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: Description of federal requirement

                         The 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 
                    ( print page 14852)
                    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. List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 271 Environmental protection
