[FRL-7927-1]
Vermont: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Immediate final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The State of Vermont has applied to EPA for Final
authorization of certain changes to its hazardous waste program 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
immediate final action. EPA is publishing this rule to authorize the
changes without a prior proposal because we believe this action is not
controversial and do not expect comments that oppose it. Unless we
receive written comments that oppose this authorization during the
comment period, the decision to authorize Vermont's changes to its
hazardous waste program will take effect. If we receive comments that
oppose this action, we will publish a document in the Federal Register
withdrawing this rule before it takes effect and a separate document
published today in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register
will serve as the proposal to authorize the changes.
DATES: This Final authorization will become effective on August 22,
2005, unless EPA receives adverse written comment by July 25, 2005. If
EPA receives such comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal of this
immediate final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public that
this authorization will not take effect.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments by one of the following methods:
1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.

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 266, 268, 270, 273 and 279.
B. What Decisions Have We Made in This Rule?
We have concluded that Vermont's application to revise its
authorized program meets all of the statutory and regulatory
requirements established by RCRA. Therefore, we grant Vermont Final
authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes
described in the authorization application. Vermont has responsibility
for permitting Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs)
within its borders and for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA program
described in its revised program application, subject to the
limitations of the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA).
New Federal requirements and prohibitions imposed by Federal
regulations that EPA promulgates under the authority of HSWA take
effect in authorized States before they are authorized for the
requirements. Thus, EPA will implement any such requirements and
prohibitions in Vermont, including issuing permits, until the State is
granted authorization to do so.
[[Page 36351]]
C. What Is the Effect of Today's Authorization Decision?
The effect of this decision is that a facility in Vermont subject
to RCRA will now have to comply with the authorized State requirements
instead of the equivalent Federal requirements in order to comply with
RCRA. Vermont has enforcement responsibilities under its State
hazardous waste program for violations of such program, but EPA retains
its full authority under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003,
which includes, among others, authority to:
? Perform inspections, and require monitoring, tests,
analyses or reports.
? Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits.
? Take enforcement actions.
This action does not impose additional requirements on the
regulated community because the regulations for which Vermont is being
authorized by today's action are already effective under state law, and
are not changed by today's action.
D. Why Wasn't There a Proposed Rule Before Today's Rule?
EPA did not publish a proposal before today's rule because we view
this as a routine program change and do not expect adverse comments
that oppose this approval. We are providing an opportunity for public
comment now. In addition to this rule, in the proposed rules section of
today's Federal Register we are publishing a separate document that
proposes to authorize the State program changes.
E. What Happens If EPA Receives Comments that Oppose This Action?
If EPA receives comments that oppose this authorization, we will
withdraw this 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 proposal
mentioned in the previous paragraph. We will then address all public
comments in a later final rule based upon this proposed rule that also
appears in today's Federal Register. You may not have another
opportunity to comment. If you want to comment on this authorization,
you should do so at this time.
If we receive adverse comments that oppose only the authorization
of a particular change to the State hazardous waste program, we will
withdraw that part of this 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 Vermont Previously Been Authorized For?
The State of Vermont initially received Final authorization on
January 7, 1985, effective January 21, 1985 (50 FR 775) to implement
the RCRA hazardous waste management program. The Region published an
immediate final rule for certain revisions to Vermont's program on May
3, 1993 (58 FR 26242) and reopened the comment period for these
revisions on June 7, 1993 (58 FR 31911). This authorization became
effective August 6, 1993 (58 FR 31911). The Region granted
authorization for further revisions to Vermont's program on September
24, 1999 (64 FR 51702), effective November 23, 1999. On October 18,
1999 (64 FR 46174) the Region published a correction to the immediate
final rule that was published on September 24, 1999. The Region granted
authorization for further revisions to Vermont's program on October 26,
2000, effective December 26, 2000 (65 FR 64164). That Federal Register
also made a technical correction.
G. What Changes Are We Authorizing With Today's Action?
On May 13, 2005, Vermont submitted a final complete program
revision application, seeking authorization for their changes in
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. In particular, Vermont is seeking
authorization for updated state regulations addressing federal
requirements through June 30, 2003, for changes to Vermont's base
program for which they had been previously authorized, and for the
extension of the New England Universities' Laboratories project XL
expiration date. Specifically, we are now authorizing a Vermont
regulation to extend the XL project expiration date by three years, to
September 30, 2006. EPA amended its federal regulations so as to allow
such a state extension through a separate federal rulemaking. See 69 FR
11811. The Vermont Project XL regulations were originally authorized by
the EPA and became part of the federally enforceable VT RCRA program on
October 26, 2000. See 65 FR 64164. The reason for this extension is to
allow the participating universities, the State and EPA additional time
to evaluate the project. EPA has received an updated Final Project
Agreement (FPA) modification which has been signed by the EPA, the
Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, and the University of
Vermont, Burlington.
We are now making an immediate final decision, subject to receipt
of written comments that oppose this action, that Vermont's hazardous
waste program revisions satisfy all of the requirements necessary to
qualify for Final authorization. Therefore, we grant Vermont Final
authorization for the following program changes:

\1\ State of Vermont's Hazardous Waste Rules, effective October 1, 2004.
Note: In addition to the regulations listed in the tables above,
there are various State based program regulations to which the State
has made minor changes and additions. The EPA is also proposing to
authorize these minor changes. The final authorization of new State
regulations and regulation changes is in addition to the previous
authorization of State regulations, which have not changed and
remain part of the authorized program.
H. Where Are the Revised State Rules Different From the Federal Rules?
The most significant differences between the proposed State rules
and the Federal rules are summarized below. It should be noted that
this summary does not describe every difference, or every detail
regarding the differences that are described. Members of the regulated
community are advised to read the complete regulations to ensure that
they understand all of the requirements with which they will need to
comply.
1. More Stringent Provisions
There are aspects of the Vermont program which are more stringent
than the Federal program. All of these more
[[Page 36353]]
stringent requirements are, or will, become part of the federally
enforceable RCRA program when authorized by the EPA, and must be
complied with in addition to the State requirements which track the
minimum Federal requirements.
Vermont's regulations are more stringent because they did not adopt
the exclusions included in the following Federal rules: Carbamate
Production Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste; Kraft Mill
Steam Stripper Condensate Exclusion; Mineral Processing Secondary
Materials Exclusion; Hazardous Waste Combustors Revised Standards;
Petroleum Refining Process Wastes; Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing
Wastes Identification and Listing; and, the Zinc Fertilizer rule. In
addition, the State did not adopt the following revision: the Vacatur
of Mineral Processing Spent Materials Being Reclaimed as Solid Wastes
and TCLP Use with MGP Waste. The State has also added additional
requirements to their transporter transfer facility regulations which
include requiring secondary containment for containers. These more
stringent requirements are part of Vermont's authorized program and are
federally enforceable.
2. Different but Equivalent Provisions
Vermont also has some regulations which differ from, but have been
determined to be equivalent to, the Federal regulations. These State
regulations will become part of the federally enforceable RCRA program
when authorized by the EPA. These different but equivalent requirements
include the following: (1) Vermont has adopted a conditional exemption
for oil filters in its Rule 7-203(o)(1) which differs from the Federal
exemption in 40 CFR 261.4(b)(6) by allowing cold draining and crushing
of the filters whereas the Federal regulation allows only hot draining.
The State regulation specifies that any cold draining must include
crushing using a mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic device designed for
the purpose of crushing oil filters and effectively removing the oil.
This State provision will encourage recycling of used oil by enabling
filters from junked vehicles to be managed in accordance with the
exemption. Junked vehicles often cannot be started and consequently
filters removed from those vehicles cannot meet the hot draining
criteria of the Federal regulation. Vermont presented documentation
showing that as much or more used oil is removed from used oil filters
through cold draining plus crushing than is removed by some of the hot
draining methods allowed in the Federal regulation. Thus, while the
Vermont exemption differs from the Federal exemption, the State
regulation is at least as stringent as the Federal regulation in
requiring the removal of the oil. We believe that the State regulation
thus is legally equivalent to the Federal regulation, since it is
equivalent in environmental protectiveness and effect. (2) Vermont also
has adopted regulations allowing certain kinds of treatment in
containers and tanks by generators without treatment permits. The
Vermont regulation is equivalent to the EPA interpretation of the
Federal regulations that was issued in the following Federal Register
notice: 51 FR 10168, March 24, 1986. In that rulemaking notice, the EPA
determined that no permitting would be required if a generator chose to
treat its waste in the generator's accumulation tanks or containers in
conformance with the applicable requirements of subpart J or I of part
265. Also in conformance with Federal guidance, the Vermont regulations
do not allow thermal treatment by generators without permits. In
addition, the Vermont regulations do not allow generators to treat
mercury containing wastes or devices without permits. (3) In addition
to certain batteries, pesticides, thermostats, and fluorescent lamps,
Vermont has added mercury containing devices and CRTs to the State's
universal waste rule. We deem this equivalent because the Federal
Universal Waste Rule allows States the flexibility to add additional
hazardous wastes to their State list of universal wastes without
requiring the waste to be added at the Federal level.
I. Who Handles Permits After the Authorization Takes Effect?
Vermont will issue permits for all the provisions for which it is
authorized and will administer the permits it issues. EPA will continue
to administer and enforce any RCRA and HSWA (Hazardous and Solid Waste
Act) permits or portions of permits which it has issued in Vermont
prior to the effective date of this authorization until the State
incorporates the terms and conditions of the Federal permits into the
State RCRA permits. EPA will not issue any more new 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 any HSWA requirements for which Vermont
is not yet authorized.
J. What Is Codification and Is EPA Codifying Vermont'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. We do this by referencing
the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. We reserve the amendment
of 40 CFR part 272, subpart UU for this authorization of Vermont's
program until a later date.
K. Administrative Requirements
The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this action from
the requirements of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993); therefore, this action is not subject to review by OMB. This
action authorizes State requirements for the purpose of RCRA section
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 (Public Law 104-4). For the same reason,
this action also does not significantly or uniquely affect the
communities or tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order
13175 (59 FR 22951, 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 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
[[Page 36354]]
regulatory actions 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 nevertheless will be effective August 22, 2005, because it is an
immediate final rule.
