You
have
registered

prior
to
the
time
of
such
use,
that
the

SUMMARY:
EPA
is
proposing

the
definition
of
nonroad
engines
to

that
are
certified
by
the
engine
maker
to
meet
the
applicable
nonroad
emission
standards.
Under
this
proposed
rule,
such
engines
would
be
considered
nonroad
engines
without
regard
to
whether
these
engines
are
portable
or
transportable
or
how
long
these
engines
remain
in
one
fixed
location
at
a
farm.
In

II.
Summary
of
Proposal
EPA
is
proposing
to
revise
the
definition
of
nonroad
engines
to
include
all
diesel­
powered
engines
used
in
agricultural
operations
in
the
State
of
California
that
are
certified
by
the
engine
maker
to
meet
the
applicable
nonroad
emission
standards.
Under
this
proposed
rule,
such
engines
will
be
considered
as
nonroad
engines
without
regard
to
whether
these
engines
are
portable
or
transportable
or
how
long
these
engines
remain
in
one
fixed
location
at
a
farm.
However,
in
the
``
Rules
and
Regulations''
section
of
today's
Federal
Register,
we
are
promulgating
these
revisions
as
a
direct
final
rule
without
a
prior
proposal.
We
have
explained
our
reasons
for
this
action.
This
proposal
incorporates
by
reference
all
the
reasoning,
explanation
and
regulatory
text
from
the
direct
final
rule.
For
further
information,
including
the
regulatory
text
for
this
proposal,
please
refer
to
the
direct
final
rule
that
is
located
in
the
``
Rules
and
Regulations''
section
of
this
Federal
Register
publication.
The
direct
final
rule
will
be
effective
on
May
14,
2003,
without
further
notice
unless
we
receive
adverse
comment
by
May
12,
2003,
or
receive
a
request
for
a
public
hearing

If
we
receive
no
adverse
comment,
we
will
take
no
further
action
on
this
proposed
rule.
If
we
receive
adverse
comment
on
this

we
will
publish
a
timely
withdrawal
in
the
Federal
Register
indicating
that
this
rule
change
is
being
withdrawn
due
to
adverse
comment.
We
will
address
all
adverse
comment
in
a
subsequent
final
rule
based
upon
this
proposed
rule.
We
will
not
institute
a

III.
Statutory
and
Executive
Order
Reviews
A.
Executive
Order
12866:
Regulatory
Planning
and
Review
Under
Executive
Order
12866
(
58
FR
51735,
October
4,
1993),
the
Agency
is
required
to
determine
whether
this
regulatory
action
would
be
``
significant''
and
therefore
subject
to
review
by
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
and
the
requirements
of
the
Executive
Order.
The
order
defines
a
``
significant
regulatory
action''
as
any
regulatory
action
that
is
likely
to
result
in
a
rule
that
may:
 
Have
an
annual
effect
on
the
economy
of
$
100
million
or
more
or
adversely
affect
in
a
material
way
the
economy,
a
sector
of
the
economy,
productivity,
competition,
jobs,
the
environment,
public
health
or
safety,
or
State,
local,
or
tribal
governments
or
communities;
 
Create
a
serious
inconsistency
or
otherwise
interfere
with
an
action
taken
or
planned
by
another
agency;
 
Materially
alter
the
budgetary
impact
of
entitlements,
grants,
user
fees,
or
loan
programs
or
the
rights
and
obligations
of
recipients
thereof;
or,
 
Raise
novel
legal
or
policy
issues
arising
out
of
legal
mandates,
the
President's
priorities,
or
the
principles
set
forth
in
the
Executive
Order.
Pursuant
to
the
terms
of
Executive
Order
12866,
we
have
determined
that
this
proposed
rule
is
not
a
``
significant
regulatory
action.''

U.
S.
C.
3501
et
seq.,
and
implementing
regulations,
5
CFR
part
1320,
do
not
apply
to
this
action
as
it
does
not
involve
the
collection
of
information
as
defined
therein.

C.
Regulatory
Flexibility
Act
EPA
certifies
that
it
is
not
necessary
to
prepare
a
regulatory
flexibility
analysis
in
connection
with
this
action.
This
proposed
rule
will
not
have
a
significant
economic
impact
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities,
in
particular
because
this
rule
change
does
not
mandate
that
farms
replace
any
existing
engine.

D.
Unfunded
Mandates
Reform
Act
Title
II
of
the
Unfunded
Mandates
Reform
Act
of
1995
(
UMRA),
Public
Law
104
 
4,
establishes
requirements
for
Federal
agencies
to
assess
the
effects
of
their
regulatory
actions
on
State,
local,
and
tribal
governments,
and
the
private
sector.
Under
section
202
of
the
UMRA,
we
generally
must
prepare
a
written
statement,
including
a
cost­
benefit
analysis,
for
proposed
and
final
rules
with
``
Federal
mandates''
that
may
result
in
expenditures
to
State,
local,
and
tribal
governments,
in
the
aggregate,
or
to
the
private
sector,
of
$
100
million
or
more
for
any
single
year.
Before
promulgating
a
rule
for
which
a
written
statement
is
needed,
section
205
of
the
UMRA
generally
requires
us
to
identify
and
consider
a
reasonable
number
of
regulatory
alternatives
and
adopt
the
least
costly,
most
cost­
effective,
or
least
burdensome
alternative
that
achieves
the
objectives
of
the
rule.
The
provisions
of
section
205
do
not
apply
when
they
are
inconsistent
with
applicable
law.
Moreover,
section
205
allows
us
to
adopt
an
alternative
that
is
not
the
least
costly,
most
cost­
effective,
or
least
burdensome
alternative
if
we
provide
an
explanation
in
the
final
rule
of
why
such
an
alternative
was
adopted.
Before
we
establish
any
regulatory
requirement
that
may
significantly
or
uniquely
affect
small
governments,
including
tribal
governments,
we
must
develop
a
small
government
plan
pursuant
to
section
203
of
the
UMRA.
Such
a
plan
must
provide
for
notifying
potentially
affected
small
governments,
and
enabling
officials
of
affected
small
governments
to
have
meaningful
and
timely
input
in
the
development
of
our
regulatory
proposals
with
significant
Federal
intergovernmental
mandates.
The
plan
must
also
provide
for
informing,
educating,
and
advising
small
governments
on
compliance
with
the
regulatory
requirements.
This
rule
contains
no
Federal
mandates
for
State,
local,
or
tribal
governments
as
defined
by
the
provisions
of
title
II
of
the
UMRA.
The
rule
imposes
no
enforceable
duties
on
any
of
these
governmental
entities.
Nothing
in
the
rule
will
significantly
or
uniquely
affect
small
governments.
We
have
determined
that
this
rule
does
not
contain
a
Federal
mandate
that
may
result
in
estimated
expenditures
of
more
than
$
100
million
to
the
private
sector
in
any
single
year.
This
action
has
the
net
effect
of
revising
certain
provisions
of
the
Tier
2
rule.
Therefore,
the
requirements
of
the
UMRA
do
not
apply
to
this
action.

E.
Executive
Order
13132:
Federalism
Executive
Order
13132,
entitled
``
Federalism''
(
64
FR
43255,
August
10,
1999),
requires
us
to
develop
an
accountable
process
to
ensure
``
meaningful
and
timely
input
by
state
and
local
officials
in
the
development
of
regulatory
policies
that
have
federalism
implications.''
``
Policies
that
have
federalism
implications''
is
defined
in
the
Executive
Order
to
include
regulations
that
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.
Under
section
6
of
Executive
Order
13132,
we
may
not
issue
a
regulation
that
has
federalism
implications,
that
imposes
substantial
direct
compliance
costs,
and
that
is
not
required
by
statute,
unless
the
Federal
government
provides
the
funds
necessary
to
pay
the
direct
compliance
costs
incurred
by
State
and
local
governments,
or
we
consult
with
State
and
local
officials
early
in
the
process
of
developing
the
proposed
regulation.
We
also
may
not
issue
a
regulation
that
has
federalism
implications
and
that
preempts
State
law,
unless
the
Agency
consults
with
State
and
local
officials
early
in
the
process
of
developing
the
proposed
regulation.
Section
4
of
the
Executive
Order
contains
additional
requirements
for
rules
that
preempt
State
or
local
law,
even
if
those
rules
do
not
have
federalism
implications
(
i.
e.,
the
rules
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).
Those
requirements
include
providing
all
affected
State
and
local
officials
notice
and
an
opportunity
for
appropriate
participation
in
the
development
of
the
regulation.
If
the
preemption
is
not
based
on
express
or
implied
statutory
authority,
we
also
must
consult,
to
the
extent
practicable,
with
appropriate
State
and
local
officials
regarding
the
conflict
between
State
law
and
federally
protected
interests
within
the
Agency's
area
of
regulatory
responsibility.
This
rule
does
not
have
federalism
implications.
It
will
not
have
substantial
direct
effects
on
the
States,
on
the
relationship
between
the
national
government
and
the

or
on
the

Proposed
Rules
Executive
Order
13132.
This
rule
revises
certain
provisions
of
earlier
rules
that
adopted
national
standards
to
control
emissions
from
nonroad
diesel
engines.
The
requirements
of
the
rule
will
be
enforced
by
the
Federal
government
at
the
national
level.
Thus,
the
requirements
of
section
6
of
the
Executive
Order
do
not
apply
to
this
rule.

F.
Executive
Order
13175:
Consultation
and
Coordination
With
Indian
Tribal
Governments
Executive
Order
13175,
entitled
``
Consultation
and
Coordination
with
Indian
Tribal
Governments''
(
59
FR
22951,
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.''
This
proposed
rule
does
not
have
tribal
implications,
as
specified
in
Executive
Order
13175.
Today's
rule
does
not
uniquely
affect
the
communities
of
American
Indian
tribal
governments.
Furthermore,
today's
rule
does
not
impose
any
direct
compliance
costs
on
these
communities
and
no
circumstances
specific
to
such
communities
exist
that
will
cause
an
impact
on
these
communities
beyond
those
discussed

Children
from
Environmental
Health
Risks
and
Safety
Risks''
(
62
FR
19885,
April
23,

applies
to
any
rule
that
(
1)
is
determined
to
be
``
economically
significant''
as
defined
under
Executive
Order
12866,
and
(
2)
concerns
an
environmental
health
or
safety
risk
that
we
have
reason
to
believe
may
have
a
disproportionate
effect
on
children.
If
the
regulatory
action
meets
both
criteria,
section
5
 
501
of
the
Executive
Order
directs
us
to
evaluate
the
environmental
health
or
safety
effects
of
the
planned
rule
on
children,
and
explain
why
the
planned
regulation
is
preferable
to
other
potentially
effective
and
reasonably
feasible
alternatives
considered
by
us.
This
rule
is
not
subject
to
the
Executive
Order
because
it
is
not
an
economically
significant
regulatory
action
as
defined
by
Executive
Order
12866.
Furthermore,
this
rule
does
not
concern
an
environmental
health
or
safety
risk
that
we
have
reason
to
believe
may
have
a
disproportionate
effect
on
children.

Tennessee:
Final
Authorization
of
State
Hazardous
Waste
Management
Program
Revisions
AGENCY:
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA).
ACTION:
Proposed
rule.

SUMMARY:
Tennessee
has
applied
to
EPA
for
Final
authorization
of
the
changes
to
its
hazardous
waste
program
under
the
Resource
Conservation
and
Recovery
Act
(
RCRA).
EPA
proposes
to
grant
final
authorization
to
Tennessee.
In
the
``
Rules
and
Regulations''
section
of
this
Federal
Register,
EPA
is
authorizing
the
changes
by
an
immediate
final
rule.
EPA
did
not
make
a
proposal
prior
to
the
immediate
final
rule
because
we
believe
this
action
is
not
controversial
and
do
not
expect
comments
that
oppose
it.
We
have
explained
the
reasons
for
this
authorization
in
the
preamble
to
the
immediate
final
rule.
Unless
we
get
written
comments
which
oppose
this
authorization
during
the
comment
period,
the
immediate
final
rule
will
become
effective
on
the
date
it
establishes,
and
we
will
not
take
further
action
on
this
proposal.
If
we
get
comments
that
oppose
this
action,
we
will
withdraw
the
immediate
final
rule
and
it
will
not
take
effect.
We
will
then
respond
to
public
comments
in
a
later
final
rule
based
on
this
proposal.
You
may
not
have
another
opportunity
for
comment.
If
you
want
to
comment
on
this
action,
you
must
do
so
at
this
time.
