petition (see 40 CFR 268.5(f)). FMC/

Astaris also must continue to submit a

monthly report describing the progress

being made toward design, construction,

and operation of the LDR Treatment

Plant. The monthly progress report also

must identify any delay, or possible

delay in developing this treatment

capacity and describe the actions being

taken in response to the delay (see 40

CFR 268.5(g)). The monthly progress

report must be submitted every thirty

days, by the 26th day of each month for

the duration of this CBC extension

renewal, until June 26, 2002.

Four copies of each monthly progress

report must be submitted to the

following address: Chief, Analysis and

Information Branch, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, Office of Solid

Waste (5302W), 1200 Pennsylvania

Avenue, NW., Washington, D.C. 20460.

A copy of the monthly progress report

also must be provided to EPA Region 10

at the following address: Director, Office

of Waste and Chemicals Management,

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101.

A copy of the monthly progress report

must be provided to the ShoshoneBannock Tribes at the following

address: Director, CERCLA/RCRA

Program, Shoshone-Bannock Tribes,

P.O. Box 306, Fort Hall, Idaho 83203.

EPA can revoke this CBC extension

renewal if FMC/Astaris fails to make a

good-faith effort to meet the schedule

for completion; if EPA denies or revokes

any required permit; if conditions

certified in the CBC extension renewal

application change; or for a violation of

any law or regulations in parts 260–266

and 268 (see § 268.5(g)). No further

extension of the LDR effective date for

these five hazardous wastes is allowed.

V. Administrative Requirements

Today, the EPA is approving the

FMC/Astaris request for a one-year

renewal of their existing CBC extension

of the effective date of the RCRA land

disposal restrictions, for a facility

located on Tribal Lands. This action

will have a substantial direct effect on

the people of the Shoshone-Bannock

Tribes and the Ft. Hall Business

Council, as it will permit this facility to

continue treating, storing, or disposing

of five waste streams as currently

managed in on-site surface

impoundments until May 26, 2002.

Executive Order 13175, entitled

‘‘Consultation and Coordination with

Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR

67249, November 6, 2000), requires 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.’’ ‘‘Policies that have tribal

implications’’ is defined in the

Executive Order to include regulations

and other actions that have ‘‘substantial

direct effects on one or more Indian

tribes, on the relationship between the

Federal government and the Indian

tribes, or on the distribution of power

and responsibilities between the Federal

government and Indian tribes.’’

EPA has concluded that this decision

has tribal implications, as it has a

substantial direct effect on the people of

the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes (on

whose lands the Pocatello facility is

located) and the Ft. Hall Business

Council. Consistent with the Executive

Order and EPA’s Indian policy, EPA has

ensured the meaningful and timely

input of tribal officials of the Ft. Hall

Business Council in the development of

this decision.

EPA has had numerous meetings and

calls with Tribal government officials

from May 2000 to April 2001. For

example, on May 2, 2000, Elizabeth

Cotsworth (Director-EPA Office of Solid

Waste) met with the Ft. Hall Business

Council in Pocatello, Idaho to consult

with the Tribes regarding FMC’s request

for a CBC extension. On June 9, 2000,

Tim Fields (Assistant AdministratorEPA Office of Solid Waste and

Emergency Response), met the Ft. Hall

Business Council on the same issue.

EPA has specifically solicited comment

on this CBC extension from the elected

officials of the Ft. Hall Business

Council, and in recent months, Chuck

Findley (Acting EPA Region 10

Administrator) has had several meetings

and telephone conversations with the

Ft. Hall Business Council to discuss the

CBC extension and the HTDF option as

an alternative to the LDR system.

Other consultation measures have

included staff level discussions to

obtain feedback from the Tribes on

information provided by FMC/Astaris,

providing the Tribes with an advance

copy of draft Federal Register notices of

Proposed Decision for their review and

comment prior to publishing the

notices, and inviting the Tribes to

participate in all meetings held with

FMC/Astaris on the CBC extension, are

described in previous Federal Register

notices addressing the CBC extension.

Finally, in the spirit of Executive

Order 13175, and consistent with EPA

policy to promote communications

between EPA and tribal governments,

EPA will continue to consult with the

Tribes after this decision on all matters

relating to the FMC/Astaris facility

which affect the Tribes’ interests.

As discussed in the March 16, 2001

(66 FR 15243) Federal Register notice,

Executive Order 13132, entitled

‘‘Federalism,’’ this notice also 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, as specified in

Executive Order 13132. Thus, the

requirements of this Executive Order do

not apply to this action.

Authority: Sections 1006, 2002(a), 3001,

and 3004 of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as

amended by the Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (42 U.S.C.

6905, 6912(a), 6921, and 6924).

Dated: May 11, 2001.
