28464 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 23, 2001 / Notices

established in 40 CFR part 68, EPA ICR

Number 1956.01. This is a new

collection.

Abstract: On June 20, 1996, EPA

published risk management regulations

mandated under the accidental release

prevention provisions under the Clean

Air Act Section 112(r)(7), 42 U.S.C.

7412(r)(7). These regulations were

codified in 40 CFR part 68. The intent

of Section 112(r) is to prevent accidental

releases to the air and mitigate the

consequences of such releases by

focusing prevention measures on

chemicals that pose the greatest risk to

the environment. The chemical accident

prevention rule required owners and

operators of stationary sources subject to

the rule to submit a risk management

plan by June 21, 1999 to EPA. The

Office of Chemical Emergency

Preparedness and Prevention (OCEPP),

Superfund Division, Region 5, is

responsible for implementing and

enforcing the Risk Management

Program. In order to fulfill its

responsibilities as the implementing

office, OCEPP will collect information

from major stationary sources of air

emissions to determine whether or not

these sources are in compliance with

the risk management program

regulations.

The information will be requested

through certified mail and pursuant to

Section 114(a) of the Clean Air Act, 42

U.S.C. 7414(a). Therefore, response to

the information collection is mandatory.

The information collected will include

the names of the regulated substances

used, produced, or stored on-site;

amount of the regulated substances;

copies of inventory records; capacity of

the container which stores or handles

the regulated substance; and the number

of employees.

Any information submitted to EPA for

which a claim of confidentiality is made

will be safeguarded according to the

Agency policies set forth in Title 40,

Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B—

Confidentiality of Business Information

(see 40 CFR part 2; 41 FR 36902,

September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR

40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251,

September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674,

March 23, 1979).

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to

respond to, a collection of information

unless it displays a currently valid OMB

control number. The OMB control

numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on May 9,

2000 (65 FR 26829). EPA received

comments on the ICR from the following

organizations: American Chemistry

Council; Center for Regulatory

Effectiveness (CRE); National Paint &

Coating Association; and from one

person.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 14.8 hours per

response. Burden means the total time,

effort, or financial resources expended

by persons to generate, maintain, retain,

or disclose or provide information to or

for a Federal agency. This includes the

time needed to review instructions;

develop, acquire, install, and utilize

technology and systems for the purposes

of collecting, validating, and verifying

information, processing and

maintaining information, and disclosing

and providing information; adjust the

existing ways to comply with any

previously applicable instructions and

requirements; train personnel to be able

to respond to a collection of

information; search data sources;

complete and review the collection of

information; and transmit or otherwise

disclose the information.

Respondents/Affected Entities: Major

stationary sources of air emissions that

have applied for or obtained a Title V

operating permit.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

1,800.

Frequency of Response: One-time.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

26,640 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Capital,

Operating/Maintenance Cost Burden: 0.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1956.01 in

any correspondence.

AGENCY

[FRL–6983–3]

Notice of Final Decision To Grant

Vickery Environmental, Incorporated a

Modification of an Exemption From the

Land Disposal Restrictions of the

Hazardous and Solid Waste

Amendments of 1984 Regarding

Injection of Hazardous Wastes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final decision on a

request to modify an exemption from

the Hazardous and Solid Waste

Amendments of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given by the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA

or Agency) that modification of an

exemption to the land disposal

restrictions under the 1984 Hazardous

and Solid Waste Amendments to the

Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act (RCRA) has been granted to Vickery

Environmental, Inc. (VEI) of Vickery,

Ohio. This modification allows VEI to

continue to inject two (2) RCRAregulated hazardous wastes which will

be banned from land disposal on May 7,

2001, as a result of regulations

promulgated in the Federal Register

(FR) on November 8, 2000 (65 FR

67132), into four Class I injection wells

at the Vickery, Ohio, facility. As

required by 40 CFR part 148, VEI has

demonstrated, to a reasonable degree of

certainty, that there will be no migration

of hazardous constituents from the

injection zone utilized by VEI’s waste

disposal facility located near Vickery,

Ohio, for as long as the newly exempted

wastes remain hazardous. This decision

constitutes a final Agency action for

which there is no administrative appeal.

DATES: This action is effective as of May

7, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Harlan Gerrish, Lead Petition Reviewer,

USEPA, Region 5, telephone (312) 886–

2939. Copies of the petition and all

pertinent information relating thereto

are on file and are part of the

Administrative Record. It is

recommended that you contact the lead

reviewer prior to reviewing the

Administrative record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Chemical Waste Management (CWM),

the predecessor of VEI, submitted a

petition for an exemption from the

restrictions on land disposal of

hazardous wastes on January 19, 1988.

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 23, 2001 / Notices 28465

Revised documents were received on

December 4, 1989, and several

supplemental submittals were

subsequently made. The exemption was

granted on August 7, 1990. On

September 12, 1994, CWM submitted a

petition to modify the exemption to

include wastes bearing 23 additional

RCRA wastes codes. Region 5 reviewed

documents supporting the request and

granted the modification of the

exemption on May 16, 1995. A notice of

the modification appeared on June 5,

1995, at 60 FR 29592 et seq. On April

9, 1996, CWM submitted a petition to

again modify the exemption to allow 91

additional RCRA waste codes. Region 5

reviewed documents supporting the

request and granted the modification on

the exemption on June 24, 1996. A

notice of the modification appeared on

July 15, 1996, at 61 FR 36880 et seq.

Again on May 13, 1997, CWM submitted

a request to add 11 waste codes to the

list. Region 5 reviewed the evidence

submitted by CWM and granted the

request. Notice of the approval appeared

on August 12, 1997 (63 FR 43109). On

October 13, 1997, CWM notified the

EPA that the name of the operator of the

Vickery facility would become Waste

Management of Ohio (WMO). This

change was acknowledged by EPA

through a letter added to the

Administrative Record on November 10,

1997. On August 28, 1998, WMO

requested that two additional wastes

codes be approved for injection. Notice

of the approval appeared on December

10, 1998 (63 FR 68284). In the same

year, on November 5, 1998, WMO

submitted a petition to exempt four

additional waste codes. Approval of this

petition appeared on February 10, 1999

(64 FR 6650). On January 24, 2000,

Waste Management of Ohio informed

EPA of a corporate reorganization and

subsequent name change from Waste

Management of Ohio to Vickery

Environmental, Inc. This change was

acknowledged by EPA through a letter

added to the Administrative Record on

March 9, 2000.

The rule promulgated on November 8,

2000, bans K174 and K175 from

injection after May 7, 2001, unless VEI’s

exemption is modified to allow

injection of those wastes. As K-coded

wastes, the codes represent a number of

chemicals, many of which have already

been approved for injection at Vickery

under other waste codes. The previously

unapproved chemicals found in K174

are: 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-Heptachlorodibenzo-pdioxin, 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-

Heptachlorodibenzofuran, 1,2,3,4,7,8,9-

Heptachlorodibenzofuran,

1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-Octachlorodibenzo-pdioxin, and 1,2,3,4,6,7,8,9-

Octachlorodibenzofuran. These are all

large and complex molecules which will

diffuse more slowly than will the

chloride ion which is the most mobile

molecule already approved for injection.

Note that each of the new molecules

contains at least seven chlorine atoms.

The hazardous material in the waste

represented by K175 is mercury which

is already approved as D009. After

review of the material submitted, the

EPA has determined, as required by 40

CFR 148.20(f), that there is a reasonable

degree of certainty that the hazardous

constituents contained in the wastes

bearing the codes to be banned will

behave hydraulically and chemically

like wastes for which VEI was granted

its original exemption and will not

migrate from the injection zone in

hazardous concentrations within 10,000

years. The injection zone is the Mt.

Simon Sandstone and the Rome,

Conasauga, Kerbel, and Knox

Formations. The confining zone is

comprised of the Wells Creek and Black

River Formations.
