[Docket No. EPA-R05-RCRA-2009-0762; FRL-9121-2]


Michigan: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is granting Michigan final authorization of the changes to 
its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA published a proposed rule on October 9, 2009, 
at 74 FR 52161 and provided for public comment. The public comment 
period ended on November 16, 2009. We received comments from one 
commenter. No further opportunity for comment will be provided. EPA has 
determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to 
qualify for final authorization and authorizing the State's changes 
through this final action. This final rule authorizes Michigan for new 
regulations which they have not been previously authorized for.

DATES: The final authorization will be effective on March 2, 2010.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID 
No. EPA-R05-RCRA-2009-0762. All documents in the docket are listed in

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.

[[Page 9346]]

B. What decisions have we made in this rule?

    We conclude that Michigan's application to revise its authorized 
program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements 
established by RCRA. Therefore, we are granting Michigan final 
authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes 
described in the authorization application. Michigan has responsibility 
for permitting Treatment, Storage, and Disposal Facilities (TSDFs) 
within its borders (except in Indian Country) 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 those 
requirements and prohibitions in Michigan, including issuing permits, 
until the State is granted authorization to do so.

C. What is the effect of this authorization decision?

    The effect of this decision is that a facility in Michigan 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. Michigan has enforcement responsibilities under its State 
hazardous waste program for violations of such program, but EPA retains 
its authority under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, which 
includes, among others, authority to:
    1. Do inspections and require monitoring, tests, analyses, or 
reports;
    2. Enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits; and
    3. Take enforcement actions regardless of whether the State has 
taken its own actions.
    This action does not impose additional requirements on the 
regulated community because the regulations for which Michigan is being 
authorized by today's action are already effective and are not changed 
by today's action.

D. Proposed Rule

    On October 9, 2009 (74 FR 52161), EPA published a proposed rule. In 
that rule we proposed granting authorization of changes to Michigan's 
hazardous waste program and opened our decision to public comment. The 
agency received comments from one individual who questioned whether EPA 
impermissibly adopted rules promulgated pursuant to non-HSWA authority 
and rules promulgated as ``less stringent than HSWA,'' including the 
RCRA Burden Reduction Initiative (Revision Checklist 213). The 
commenter argued that, through RCRA, Congress has barred EPA and 
authorized States from promulgating regulations that are less stringent 
than HSWA. HSWA changed many aspects of hazardous waste management 
under RCRA. The legislative history of HSWA (98 Cong. Senate Report 
284, HSW Leg. Hist. 30, pages 6-7) explains, in part:

    ``These amendments also recognize that safe disposal, storage 
and treatment opportunities are limited and that the most effective 
way to protect human health and the environment is to minimize the 
opportunities for exposure by reducing or eliminating the generation 
of hazardous waste as expeditiously as possible. Rather than 
creating a rigorous regulatory program, provisions are included to 
encourage generators to voluntarily reduce the quantity and toxicity 
of all wastes. The amendments do not authorize the EPA or any other 
organization or person to intrude into the production process or 
production decisions of individual generators. Taken as a whole, the 
reported bill emphasizes two concepts. First, wherever feasible, the 
generation of hazardous waste is to be reduced or eliminated as 
expeditiously as possible. Second, waste that is nevertheless 
generated should be treated, stored, or disposed of so as to 
minimize the present and future threat to human health and the 
environment.''

    After passage of HSWA, EPA distinguished rules promulgated by EPA 
pursuant to the new HSWA authority from rules promulgated pursuant to 
the authority that pre-dated, but was not supplanted by, HSWA: EPA 
referred to the latter as ``non-HSWA'' rules. The issue of which 
authority, HSWA or non-HSWA, EPA exercises in each EPA rulemaking is 
distinguishable from EPA's determination of whether a new authority is 
``more stringent'' or ``less stringent'' than the regulations that had 
been promulgated earlier and are being revised. EPA explains the 
authority it is using, HSWA or non-HSWA, in each rulemaking. That 
explanation is generally found in the Federal Register notice for each 
proposed and final rule in the discussion of how the regulatory changes 
will be administered and enforced in the State.
    Regulations determined to be ``more stringent'' under HSWA or non-
HSWA authority are regulations which each State must adopt to retain 
authorization for its hazardous waste program. HSWA regulations are not 
all ``more stringent'' than the regulations promulgated under RCRA 
before HSWA. Nor did Congress require all HSWA regulations to be more 
stringent; nothing in the statute, and no language in the legislative 
history, directs EPA to promulgate only ``more stringent'' provisions 
under HSWA authority.
    Since the passage of HSWA, EPA has been highly selective when 
designating which new regulations will apply directly in every State 
immediately upon the effective date of the new regulations. When new 
regulations are promulgated under HSWA authority, those regulations 
characterized by EPA as more stringent apply directly in all States, 
including States with authorized hazardous waste programs, and such 
regulations are implemented and enforced directly and immediately by 
EPA until the State is authorized to implement and enforce those 
regulations. Once those regulations are authorized as a part of the 
State hazardous waste program, they become the Federally enforceable 
requirements in that State.
    The commenter questioned whether it was permissible for EPA to 
allow a State to adopt rules promulgated by EPA as ``less stringent 
than HSWA.'' EPA exercises discretionary authority as provided by 
Congress in section 2002 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6912, to regulate hazardous 
waste to protect human health and the environment and, barring explicit 
language in the statute, nothing in the act or amendments thereto 
prohibits EPA from promulgating new regulations that are ``less 
stringent'' or ``neutral'' relative to regulations that were 
promulgated earlier. If EPA promulgates new regulations to replace 
existing regulations, the newer regulations are, upon their effective 
date, the Federal requirements against which a State program is 
compared when reviewing a revision to an authorized State hazardous 
waste program. The ``less stringent'' requirements are the Federal 
requirements under RCRA in States without authorized hazardous waste 
programs. Those newer regulations which are less stringent than former 
regulations, may be, but are not required to be, adopted by States to 
retain an authorized hazardous waste program.
    Section 3009 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6929, bars a State from imposing 
less stringent requirements than those authorized under Subchapter III 
of RCRA respecting the same matter governed by such regulations. There 
is no bar prohibiting a State from imposing more stringent requirements 
and there is no bar prohibiting a State from adopting Federal 
requirements which are promulgated by EPA as less stringent or neutral 
requirements as compared to

[[Page 9347]]

regulations that were promulgated by EPA earlier. If a State adopts and 
is authorized for those ``less stringent'' Federal regulations, the 
Federally enforceable RCRA requirements in the State are those newly 
authorized requirements.
    Finally, the commenter questioned whether the RCRA Burden Reduction 
initiative impermissibly removed the manifest notification required to 
be sent to each State with the shipment of waste-derived fertilizers 
citing to sections 3002 and 3009 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6922 and 6929. 
Section 3002(a)(5) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6922(a)(5), directs the 
Administrator to promulgate regulations to establish standards 
applicable to generators as may be necessary to protect human health 
and the environment regarding the use of a manifest system and any 
other reasonable means necessary to assure that all hazardous waste 
generated is designated for treatment, storage, or disposal in, and 
arrives at, treatment, storage, or disposal facilities (except where 
waste was generated) for which a permit was issued. Pursuant to section 
3009 of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6929 (and as is explained in more detail in the 
RCRA Burden Reduction Initiative Final Rule (71 FR 16862)), no 
regulation adopted under RCRA can be construed to prohibit any State 
from requiring that the State be provided with a copy of each manifest 
used in connection with hazardous waste generated in that State or 
transported to a treatment, storage, or disposal facility within that 
State. The Burden Reduction Initiative (BRI), which became effective as 
an optional rule on May 4, 2006, streamlines EPA's information 
collection requirements to ensure that only information actually needed 
and used to implement the RCRA program is collected while retaining the 
goals of protecting human health and the environment. EPA promulgated 
all of the rules included in Michigan's revisions pursuant to the 
authority granted to EPA by Congress under RCRA. Those rules, including 
the BRI rule, were finalized after full consideration of all comments 
submitted in a timely manner. By adopting the rules promulgated by EPA, 
Michigan revised its hazardous waste program to be equivalent to and 
consistent with the Federal program. Pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), EPA 
has the authority to authorize State programs that are equivalent to 
and consistent with the Federal program.
    Changes in manifest requirements made to earlier Federal 
requirements by the BRI generally concern notice under the land 
disposal regulations at 40 CFR part 268. The BRI does not prohibit any 
State from requiring a copy of a manifest. States were not required to 
adopt the BRI and States that do not adopt the BRI can require a copy 
of the manifest. A State is not barred from adopting the BRI by section 
3009 of RCRA.
    EPA believes the Agency has the necessary authority to promulgate 
the rules in the Federal program, including those in this revision to 
Michigan's authorized hazardous waste program. Moreover, EPA believes 
that Michigan has the necessary authority to adopt the rules that are 
included in this revision of the Michigan authorized hazardous waste 
program.

E. What has Michigan previously been authorized for?

    Michigan initially received final authorization on October 16, 
1986, effective October 30, 1986 (51 FR 36804-36805), to implement the 
RCRA hazardous waste management program. We granted authorization for 
changes to Michigan's program on November 24, 1989, effective January 
23, 1990 (54 FR 48608); on January 24, 1991, effective June 24, 1991 
(56 FR 18517); on October 1, 1993, effective November 30, 1993 (58 FR 
51244); on January 13, 1995, effective January 13, 1995 (60 FR 3095); 
on February 8, 1996, effective April 8, 1996 (61 FR 4742); on November 
14, 1997, effective November 14, 1997 (62 FR 61775); on March 2, 1999, 
effective June 1, 1999 (64 FR 10111); on July 31, 2002, effective July 
31, 2002 (67 FR 49617); on March 9, 2006, effective March 9, 2006 (71 
FR 12141), and on January 7, 2008 (73 FR 1077), effective January 7, 
2008.

F. What changes are we authorizing with this action?

    On September 26, 2008, Michigan submitted a complete program 
revision application seeking authorization of its changes in accordance 
with 40 CFR 271.21. We have determined that Michigan's hazardous waste 
management program revision satisfies all requirements necessary to 
qualify for final authorization. Therefore, we are granting Michigan 
final authorization for the following program changes:

G. Where are the revised State rules different from the Federal rules?

    The most significant differences between the State rules we are 
authorizing and the analogous 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 rules to 
ensure that they understand the requirements with which they will need 
to comply.
    There are aspects of the Michigan program which are more stringent 
than the Federal program. All of these more 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. These 
more stringent requirements are found at (references are to the 
Michigan Administrative Code):
    Michigan does not allow containment buildings, making the State 
requirements more stringent than the Federal requirements at 40 CFR 
part 264 subpart DD, 40 CFR 265 subpart DD, and 40 CFR part 264 
appendix I, Tables 1 and 2.
    Michigan's regulations at R 299.9601(1), (2)(b), (2)(c), (2)(h), 
(2)(i), and (3); R 299.9608(1), (6) and (8); R 299.9615; and R 
299.9702(1) are more stringent than the Federal analogs at 40 CFR 
Sections 265.56(b), 265.71, 265.72, 265.142(a), 265.174, 265.190(a), 
265.193, 265.194, 265.197, 265.201, and 265.340(b)(1) since the State 
requires compliance with standards equivalent to 40 CFR part 264 rather 
then 40 CFR part 265.
    Michigan's regulations at R 299.11002(1) and (2) are more stringent 
than the Federal analogs at 40 CFR Section 260.11(d) and (d)(1) since 
the State adopts updated versions of the ``Flammable and Combustible 
Liquids Code.''

H. Who handles permits after the authorization takes effect?

    Michigan will issue permits for all the provisions for which it is 
authorized and will administer the permits it issues. EPA will continue 
to administer any RCRA hazardous waste permits or portions of permits 
which we issued prior to the effective date of this authorization until 
they expire or are terminated. We 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 HSWA requirements for which Michigan is 
not yet authorized.

I. How does today's action affect Indian Country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in 
Michigan?

    Michigan is not authorized to carry out its hazardous waste program 
in Indian Country within the State, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. This 
includes:
    1. All lands within the exterior boundaries of Indian reservations 
within the State of Michigan;
    2. Any land held in trust by the U.S. for an Indian tribe; and
    3. Any other land, whether on or off an Indian reservation that 
qualifies as Indian Country.
    EPA will continue to implement and administer the RCRA program in 
Indian Country. It is EPA's long-standing position that the term 
``Indian lands'' used in past Michigan hazardous waste approvals is 
synonymous with the term ``Indian Country.'' Washington Dep't of 
Ecology v. U.S. EPA, 752 F.2d 1465, 1467, n.1 (9th Cir. 1985). See 40 
CFR 144.3 and 258.2.

J. What is codification and is EPA codifying Michigan's hazardous waste 
program as authorized in this rule?

    Codification is the process of placing a State's statutes and 
regulations that comprise a State's authorized hazardous

[[Page 9357]]

waste program into the Code of Federal Regulations. We do this by 
referencing the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. Michigan's 
rules, up to and including those revised October 19, 1991, have 
previously been codified through incorporation-by-reference effective 
April 24, 1989 (54 FR 7421, February 21, 1989); as amended effective 
March 31, 1992 (57 FR 3724, January 31, 1992). We reserve the amendment 
of 40 CFR part 272, subpart X, for the codification of Michigan's 
program changes until a later date.

K. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule only authorizes hazardous waste requirements 
pursuant to RCRA 3006 and imposes no requirements other than those 
imposed by State law (see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, Section A. Why are 
Revisions to State Programs Necessary?). Therefore, this rule complies 
with applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as follows:

1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory Planning Review

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from its 
review under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993); 
therefore, this action is not subject to review by OMB.

2. Paperwork Reduction Act

    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.).

3. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    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 rule 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.).

4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Because this rule approves 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 (Pub. L. 104-4).

5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) does not apply 
to this rule because it will not have Federalism implications (i.e., 
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).

6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian 
Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) does not 
apply to this rule because it will not have tribal implications (i.e., 
substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, or on the 
relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on 
the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal 
Government and Indian tribes).

7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health and Safety Risks

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 
April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant as defined 
in Executive Order 12866 and because EPA does not have reason to 
believe the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this 
action present a disproportionate risk to children.

8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 
22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action as defined 
in Executive Order 12866.

9. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    EPA approves State programs as long as they meet criteria required 
by RCRA, so it would be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, in 
its review of a State program, to require the use of any particular 
voluntary consensus standard in place of another standard that meets 
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 to this rule.

10. Executive Order 12988

    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.

11. Executive Order 12630: Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of 
Unanticipated Takings

    EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 18, 
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.

12. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations

    Because this rule proposes authorization of pre-existing State 
rules and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by 
State law and there are no anticipated significant adverse human health 
or environmental effects, the rule is not subject to Executive Order 
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

13. Congressional Review Act

    EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other information 
required by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) to the 
U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller 
General of the United States prior to the 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).
