Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of 
Hazardous Waste; Final Exclusion

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting a petition 
submitted by Cooper Crouse-Hinds to exclude (or delist) the sludge and 
filter sand (called sludge hereinafter) from its wastewater treatment 
plant (WWTP) generated by Cooper Crouse-Hinds in Amarillo, Texas from 
the lists of hazardous wastes. This final rule responds to the petition 
submitted by Cooper Crouse-Hinds, to delist the WWTP sludge with 
Hazardous Waste Number, F006. After careful analysis and use of the 
Delisting Risk Assessment Software (DRAS), EPA has concluded the 
petitioned waste is not hazardous waste. This exclusion applies to 816 
cubic yards per year of the WWTP sludge with Hazardous Waste Number: 
F006. Accordingly, this final rule excludes the petitioned waste from 
the requirements of hazardous waste regulations under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when it is disposed in a Subtitle 
D Landfill.

DATES: Effective Date: April 15, 2009.

ADDRESSES: The public docket for this final rule is located at the 
Environmental Protection Agency Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, 
Texas 75202, and is available for viewing in EPA Freedom of Information 
Act review room on the 7th floor from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through

I. Overview Information

A. What action is EPA finalizing?

    After evaluating the petition, EPA proposed on September 23, 2008, 
to exclude the WWTP sludge from the lists of hazardous waste under 40 
CFR 261.31 and 261.32 (see 73 FR 54770). EPA is finalizing the decision 
to grant Cooper Crouse-Hinds' delisting petition to have its WWTP 
sludge managed and disposed as non-hazardous waste provided certain 
verification and monitoring conditions are met.

B. Why is EPA approving this action?

    Cooper Crouse-Hinds' petition requests a delisting from the F006 
waste listing under 40 CFR 260.20 and 260.22. Cooper Crouse-Hinds does 
not believe that the petitioned waste meets the criteria for which EPA 
listed it. Cooper Crouse-Hinds also believes no additional constituents 
or factors could cause the waste to be hazardous. EPA's review of this 
petition included consideration of the original listing criteria and 
the additional factors required by the Hazardous and Solid Waste 
Amendments of 1984. See section 3001(f) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6921(f), and 
40 CFR 260.22 (d)(1)-(4) (hereinafter all sectional references are to 
40 CFR unless otherwise indicated). In making the final delisting 
determination, EPA evaluated the petitioned waste against the listing 
criteria and factors cited in Sec.  261.11(a) (2) and (a)(3). Based on 
this review, EPA agrees with the petitioner that the waste is non-
hazardous with respect to the original listing criteria. If EPA had 
found, based on this review, that the waste remained hazardous based on 
the factors for which the waste as originally listed, EPA would have 
proposed to deny the petition. EPA evaluated the waste with respect to 
other factors or criteria to assess whether there is a reasonable basis 
to believe that such additional factors could cause the waste to be 
hazardous. EPA considered whether the waste is acutely toxic, the 
concentration of the constituents in the waste, their tendency to 
migrate and to bioaccumulate, their persistence in the environment once 
released from the waste, plausible and specific types of management of 
the petitioned waste, the quantities of waste generated, and waste 
variability. EPA believes that the petitioned waste does not meet the 
listing criteria and thus should not be a listed waste. EPA's final 
decision to delist waste from Cooper Crouse-Hinds' facility is based on 
the

[[Page 17420]]

information submitted in support of this rule, including descriptions 
of the wastes and analytical data from the Amarillo, Texas facility.

C. What are the limits of this exclusion?

    This exclusion applies to the waste described in the petition only 
if the requirements described in 40 CFR part 261, Appendix IX, Table 1 
and the conditions contained herein are satisfied.

D. How will Cooper Crouse-Hinds manage the waste if it is delisted?

    The sludge from Cooper Crouse-Hinds will be disposed of in a RCRA 
Subtitle D landfill.

E. When is the final delisting exclusion effective?

    This rule is effective April 15, 2009. The Hazardous and Solid 
Waste Amendments of 1984 amended Section 3010 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 
6930(b)(1) allows rules to become effective less than six months after 
the rule is published when the regulated community does not need the 
six-month period to come into compliance. That is the case here because 
this rule reduces, rather than increases, the existing requirements for 
persons generating hazardous waste. This reduction in existing 
requirements also provides a basis for making this rule effective 
immediately, upon publication, under the Administrative Procedure Act, 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d).

F. How does this final rule affect states?

    Because EPA is issuing this exclusion under the Federal RCRA 
delisting program, only states subject to Federal RCRA delisting 
provisions will be affected. This would exclude states which have 
received authorization from EPA to make their own delisting decisions.
    EPA allows states to impose their own non-RCRA regulatory 
requirements that are more stringent than EPA's, under section 3009 of 
RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6929. These more stringent requirements may include a 
provision that prohibits a Federally issued exclusion from taking 
effect in the state. Because a dual system (that is, both Federal 
(RCRA) and State (non-RCRA) programs) may regulate a petitioner's 
waste, EPA urges petitioners to contact the State regulatory authority 
to establish the status of their wastes under the State law.
    EPA has also authorized some states (for example, Louisiana, 
Oklahoma, Georgia, and Illinois) to administer a RCRA delisting program 
in place of the Federal program; that is, to make state delisting 
decisions. Therefore, this exclusion does not apply in those authorized 
states unless that state makes the rule part of its authorized program. 
If Cooper Crouse-Hinds transports the petitioned waste to or manages 
the waste in any state with delisting authorization, Cooper Crouse-
Hinds must obtain delisting authorization from that state before it can 
manage the waste as non-hazardous in the state.

II. Background

A. What is a delisting petition?

    A delisting petition is a request from a generator to EPA, or 
another agency with jurisdiction, to exclude or delist from the RCRA 
list of hazardous waste, certain wastes the generator believes should 
not be considered hazardous under RCRA.

B. What regulations allow facilities to delist a waste?

    Under Sec. Sec.  260.20 and 260.22, facilities may petition EPA to 
remove their wastes from hazardous waste regulation by excluding them 
from the lists of hazardous wastes contained in Sec. Sec.  261.31 and 
261.32. Specifically, Sec.  260.20 allows any person to petition the 
Administrator to modify or revoke any provision of 40 CFR parts 260 
through 265 and 268. Section 260.22 provides generators the opportunity 
to petition the Administrator to exclude a waste from a particular 
generating facility from the hazardous waste lists.

C. What information must the generator supply?

    Petitioners must provide sufficient information to EPA to allow EPA 
to determine that the waste to be excluded does not meet any of the 
criteria under which the waste was listed as a hazardous waste. Based 
on the information supplied by the generator, the Administrator must 
determine whether factors (including additional constituents) other 
than those for which the waste was listed could cause the waste to be a 
hazardous waste. The generator must also supply information to 
demonstrate that the waste does not exhibit any of the characteristics 
defined in Sec.  261.21-Sec.  261.24.

III. EPA's Evaluation of the Waste Information and Data

A. What waste did Cooper Crouse-Hinds petition EPA to delist?

    On March 13, 2008, Cooper Crouse-Hinds petitioned EPA to exclude 
from the lists of hazardous wastes contained in Sec. Sec.  261.31 and 
261.32, WWTP sludge listed as F006 generated by its facility located in 
Amarillo, Texas. The waste falls under the classification of listed 
waste pursuant to Sec.  261.31.

B. How much waste did Cooper Crouse-Hinds propose to delist?

    Specifically, in its petition, Cooper Crouse-Hinds requested that 
EPA grant an exclusion for 816 cubic yards per year of WWTP sludge.

C. How did Cooper Crouse-Hinds sample and analyze the waste data in 
this petition?

    To support its petition, Cooper Crouse-Hinds submitted:
     Historical information on waste generation and management 
practices;
     Results of the total constituents list for 40 CFR part 
264, Appendix IX volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds and 
metals. These wastes were also analyzed for cyanide and sulfide.
     Results of the constituent list for appendix IX on 
Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) extract for 
volatiles, semi-volatiles, and metals.
     Results from total oil and grease analyses and multiple pH 
measurements, and
     Results from four samples for total concentrations of 
compounds of concern (COCs).

IV. Public Comments Received on the Proposed Exclusion

A. Who submitted comments on the proposed rule?

    No comments were received on the Proposed Rule during the comment 
period.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review '' 
(58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this rule is not of general 
applicability and therefore is not a regulatory action subject to 
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). 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.) because it 
applies to a particular facility only. Because this rule is of 
particular applicability relating to a particular facility, it is not 
subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or to sections 202, 204, and 
205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4). 
Because this rule will affect only a particular facility, it will not 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as specified in 
section 203 of UMRA. Because this rule will affect only a particular 
facility, this

[[Page 17421]]

final 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 States, or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as 
specified in Executive Order 13132, ``Federalism'', (64 FR 43255, 
August 10, 1999). Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this 
rule.
    Similarly, because this rule will affect only a particular 
facility, this final rule does not have tribal implications, as 
specified in Executive Order 13175, ``Consultation and Coordination 
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Thus, 
Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule. This rule also is 
not subject to Executive Order 13045, ``Protection of Children from 
Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 
1997), because it is not economically significant as defined in 
Executive Order 12866, and because the Agency does not have reason to 
believe the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this 
action present a disproportionate risk to children. The basis for this 
belief is that the Agency used the DRAS program, which considers health 
and safety risks to infants and children, to calculate the maximum 
allowable concentrations for this rule. 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. This rule does not involve technical 
standards; 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, ``Civil 
Justice Reform'', (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.
    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. Section 804 exempts from section 801 the following types of 
rules: (1) Rules of particular applicability; (2) rules relating to 
agency management or personnel; and (3) rules of agency organization, 
procedure, or practice that do not substantially affect the rights or 
obligations of non-agency parties 5 U.S.C. 804(3). EPA is not required 
to submit a rule report regarding today's action under section 801 
because this is a rule of particular applicability.
