I. Introduction
A. What Is the Statutory Authority for This Rulemaking?
The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., as amended by
the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, gives the
Federal government broad authority to respond to releases or threats of
releases of hazardous substances from vessels and facilities. The term
``hazardous substance'' is defined in section 101(14) of CERCLA by
referencing various Federal environmental statutes. For example, the
term includes ``any hazardous waste having the characteristics
identified under or listed pursuant to section 3001 of the Solid Waste
Disposal Act * * *,'' also known as the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA).
Section 102(b) of CERCLA establishes reportable quantities (RQs) of
one pound (``statutory RQs'') for releases of most CERCLA hazardous
substances. Under section 102(a) of CERCLA, the Administrator of EPA
has the authority to adjust these RQs by regulation (``adjusted RQs'').
Under CERCLA section 103(a), the person in charge of a vessel or
facility from which a CERCLA hazardous substance is released in a
quantity that equals or exceeds its RQ must immediately notify the
National Response Center (NRC) of that release. A release is reportable
if an RQ or more of the hazardous substance is released within a 24-
hour period. (See 40 CFR 302.6.) This reporting requirement serves as a
trigger for informing the government of a release so that Federal
personnel can evaluate the need for a Federal removal or remedial
action and undertake any necessary action in a timely fashion.
In addition to the reporting requirements under CERCLA section 103,
section 304 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act
of 1986 (EPCRA), 42 U.S.C. 11001 et seq., requires owners or operators
of certain facilities to report releases of extremely hazardous
substances (EHSs) and CERCLA hazardous substances to State and local
authorities. (See 40 CFR 355.40.) Thus, after the release of an EHS or
a hazardous substance in a quantity equal to or greater than its RQ,
facility owners or operators must immediately notify the community
emergency coordinator for each local emergency planning
[[Page 47108]]
committee for any area likely to be affected by the release, and the
State emergency response commission of any State likely to be affected
by the release.
B. What Types of Releases Are Exempt From These Reporting Requirements?
To determine whether you must report the release of a carbamate
that equals or exceeds its RQ, you should note that section 103(e) of
CERCLA exempts from the notification provisions of CERCLA section
103(a): ``* * * the application of a pesticide product registered under
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act or * * * the
handling and storage of such a pesticide product by an agricultural
producer.'' The legislative history of CERCLA suggests that Congress
intended this exemption to apply to the application of a pesticide
generally in accordance with the pesticide's purpose.
If a release of a CERCLA hazardous substance meets the criteria
under CERCLA section 103(e) for an exemption from reporting to the NRC,
the same release is also exempt from the notification requirements to
State and local authorities under EPCRA section 304. For this final
rule, therefore, the use of carbamates as pesticides in accordance with
its use and purpose is not subject to the reporting requirements under
CERCLA section 103(e) and EPCRA section 304.
As stipulated by EPA in an earlier final rule (50 FR 13464, Apr. 4,
1985), we do not consider the spill of a pesticide to be an application
of the pesticide, nor do we consider a pesticide spill to be in
accordance with the pesticide's purpose. Consequently, spills of a
carbamate pesticide that equal or exceed an RQ must be reported to the
NRC under CERCLA section 103 and to the appropriate State and local
authorities under EPCRA section 304.
II. Background
In this final rule, EPA adjusts the statutory one-pound RQs for 28
individual carbamates and five carbamate-related waste streams. The
adjustments to these statutory one-pound RQs were proposed in December
2003. (See 68 FR 67916, Dec. 4, 2003.) This final rule includes RQ
adjustments not only for individual carbamates, but also for
thiocarbamates, dithiocarbamates, carbamoyl oximes, and several other
individual substances that are closely related to carbamate production
and/or waste generation. The preamble to this final rule refers to all
28 individual substances for which the RQ adjustments are made as
``carbamates,'' and to the five waste streams as ``carbamate-related''
waste streams. In addition, EPA is adjusting the statutory one-pound RQ
of another hazardous waste stream, K178, which is unrelated to the
carbamates addressed in this rule (see Section III.G of this preamble
for information regarding K178). A summary of the developments leading
up to this final rule as it relates to the carbamate-related substances
is provided below.
On November 8, 1984, Congress amended RCRA by enacting the
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA), 42 U.S.C. 6901 et
seq. In one provision of HSWA--a newly added RCRA section 3001(e)(2)--
Congress directed EPA to determine whether several wastes, including
wastes generated from the production of carbamates, should be listed as
RCRA hazardous wastes. Carbamates are widely used as active ingredients
in pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, and in the
production of synthetic rubber. Before Congress enacted HSWA in 1984,
EPA already had regulated several carbamate substances under RCRA,
CERCLA, and other statutes.
Based on our evaluation of the carbamate production wastes, we
published a proposal to list 80 carbamate-related substances as RCRA
hazardous wastes and as CERCLA hazardous substances. (See 59 FR 9808,
Mar. 1, 1994.) The 80 substances included: (1) 70 individual
carbamates; (2) six carbamate-related waste streams; and (3) four
generic groups of carbamate products or captive intermediates with
limited toxicity data.\1\ On February 9, 1995, we finalized the listing
of 64 of the 80 substances as RCRA hazardous wastes and CERCLA
hazardous substances, deferring action on 12 individual substances and
the four generic groups of carbamate products or captive intermediates
with limited toxicity data included in the March 1994 proposed rule.
(See 60 FR 7824, Feb. 9, 1995.) EPA listed a total of 58 individual
carbamates and six carbamate-related hazardous waste streams as RCRA
hazardous wastes and CERCLA hazardous substances in the February 1995
final rule.\2\ Corrections to minor errors in the February 1995 final
rule were later published. (See 60 FR 19165, Apr. 17, 1995 and 60 FR
25619, May 12, 1995.) We also modified our interpretation of the rule
as it affected listings for K156 and K157 hazardous wastes. (See 60 FR
41817, Aug. 14, 1995.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ These chemicals with limited toxicity data were divided into
structure-toxicity groups (esterase (cholinesterase) inhibiting,
other non-cancer toxicity, potentially carcinogenic, and toxic metal
(metallocarbamates)). (See 59 FR 9840, Mar. 1, 1994.)
\2\ Independent of the March 1994 proposed and February 1995
final rules, EPA added and adjusted the RQs for six individual
carbamates to 40 CFR table 302.4--List of Hazardous Substances and
Reportable Quantities, due to their listing under the Clean Air Act,
Clean Water Act, or both. The six substances and their Chemical
Abstracts Service Registry Numbers (CASRNs) are: carbaryl (CASRN 63-
25-2); carbofuran (CASRN 1563-66-2); mercaptodimethur (CASRN 2032-
65-7); mexacarbate (CASRN 315-18-4); triethylamine (CASRN 121-44-8);
and propoxur (CASRN 114-26-1). We adjusted the RQ for the first five
of these six substances in a final rule (50 FR 13456, Apr. 4, 1985)
and later adjusted the RQ for the last substance, propoxur, in
another final rule (60 FR 30926, Jun. 12, 1995).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On November 1, 1996, the Court of Appeals (D.C. Circuit) ruled that
EPA failed to follow proper rulemaking procedures in making some of the
carbamate listing determinations in the February 1995 rule.
Dithiocarbamate Task Force v. EPA, 98 F.3d 1394 (D.C. Cir. 1996). The
court vacated the RCRA hazardous waste and CERCLA hazardous substance
listings for 24 \3\ of the 58 individual carbamates and one of the six
carbamate-related waste streams (K160) included in that rule. The court
also vacated three other carbamate-related waste streams (K156, K157,
and K158) to the extent that they applied to the chemical 3-iodo-2-
propynyl n-butylcarbamate. Under the court decision, the vacated
carbamate listings are to be treated as though they had never been in
effect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

acid, butyl-, 3-iodo-2-propynyl ester (55406-53-6), (U375).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To clarify the status of the vacated listings for the regulated
community and the public, EPA amended the lists of RCRA hazardous
wastes (40 CFR part 261) and CERCLA hazardous substances (40 CFR part
302) to remove the entries
[[Page 47109]]
for the 24 individual carbamates and one carbamate-related waste stream
(K160) that were vacated by the court, and revised the entries for
K156, K157, and K158 to indicate that they do not apply to 3-iodo-2-
propynyl n-butylcarbamate (62 FR 32974, Jun. 17, 1997). The court's
ruling did not change the February 1995 listing of the 34 remaining
individual carbamates as RCRA hazardous wastes, which includes the six
carbamates that were listed as hazardous substances due to their
listing under the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, or both. Those
listings remain in effect.
Upon the effective date of the February 1995, final rule, the 28
\4\ remaining individual carbamates and the five carbamate-related
hazardous waste streams became hazardous substances under CERCLA
section 101(14)(C) and received one-pound statutory RQs. This final
rule adjusts the RQs for these 28 individual substances and five waste
streams (proposed for adjustment in December 2003) based on criteria
that relate to the possibility of harm from the release of each
hazardous substance into the environment. EPA is revising the 40 CFR
table 302.4--List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities to
reflect these changes and other conforming changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Note: Six of the 34 individual carbamates already have their
final adjusted RQs, see FN 2, above.

Eleven of the individual substances with RQ adjustments in this
final rule are also EPCRA section 302 EHSs. For the names of these 11
substances, see the revisions to Appendices A and B of 40 CFR part 355,
included at the end of this final rule. In 1989, we proposed to adjust
the RQs for all the EPCRA EHSs.\5\ (See 54 FR 35988, Aug. 30, 1989.)
Except for the 11 substances included in this rule, we finalized
adjustments to the RQs for all the EHSs at 61 FR 20473, May 7, 1996.
The adjusted RQs for these 11 substances are now finalized by this
action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ We used the data from this August 30, 1989, proposed
rulemaking, as well as more recent data, to support the RQ
adjustments proposed for these 11 substances in this rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Summary of This Action
A. What Is The Scope of This Rule?
In this final rule, we are adjusting the one-pound statutory RQs
for 28
[[Page 47110]]
individual carbamates (one of which is adjusted to a final RQ of one-
pound) and five carbamate-related waste streams. In addition, EPA is
adjusting the one-pound statutory RQ of another hazardous waste stream,
K178, which is unrelated to the carbamates addressed in this rule (see
Section III.G. of this preamble for information regarding K178). We
based these adjustments on specific scientific and technical criteria
that relate to the possibility of harm from the release of a CERCLA
hazardous substance in certain amounts. RQs are based, in part, on a
determination of possible or potential harm, but they are not a
determination that releases of a particular amount of a hazardous
substance necessarily will harm the public health, welfare, or the
environment. The quantity released is just one factor that the Federal
government considers when it assesses the need to respond to such a
release. Other factors include, but are not limited to, the location of
the release, its proximity to drinking water supplies or other valuable
resources, and the likelihood of exposure or injury to nearby
populations. The RQ adjustments that EPA is finalizing in this final
rule will enable us to focus our resources on those releases that are
most likely to pose potential threats to public health, welfare, or the
environment. These RQ adjustments will also help to relieve the
regulated community and emergency response personnel from the burden of
making and receiving reports of releases that are unlikely to pose such
threats.
B. What Methodology Did EPA Use To Adjust the RQs of the Individual
Carbamates?
EPA has wide discretion to adjust the statutory RQs for hazardous
substances under CERCLA. Administrative feasibility and practicality
are important considerations.
1. RQ Adjustment Methodology
The methodology for adjusting the RQ of an individual hazardous
substance begins with an evaluation of its intrinsic physical,
chemical, and toxicological properties. These intrinsic properties--
called ``primary criteria''--are aquatic toxicity, mammalian toxicity
(oral, dermal, and inhalation), ignitability, reactivity, chronic
toxicity, and potential carcinogenicity.\6\ When there are sufficient
data in the scientific literature on the chronic toxicity and/or
potential carcinogenicity (two of the six primary criteria) of a
hazardous substance, we evaluate and summarize these data in a
chemical-specific profile.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ For further information on assigning adjusted RQs to
hazardous substances under the primary criteria, see the Technical
Background Document to Support Rulemaking Pursuant to CERCLA Section
102, Volume 2, August 1986 (for chronic toxicity), Volume 3, July
1989 (for potential carcinogenicity), and Volume 1, March 1985 (for
the four other primary criteria), available for inspection at the
Superfund Docket in the EPA Docket Center, (EPA/DC) EPA West, Room
B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. These documents
are not available electronically; contact the Superfund Docket and
reference, ``EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0010-0043,'' ``EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-
0010-0044,'' and ``EPA-HQ6-SFUND-2002-0010-0042,'' respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For each intrinsic property, EPA ranks the hazardous substance on a
five-tier scale, associating a specific range of values on each scale
with an RQ value of 1, 10, 100, 1,000, or 5,000 pounds. Each hazardous
substance may receive several tentative RQ values based on the primary
criteria. The lowest of the tentative RQs becomes the ``primary
criteria RQ'' for that substance.
After assigning the primary criteria RQs, EPA evaluates the
substances for their susceptibility to certain degradative processes.
These natural degradative processes, which we use as ``secondary RQ
adjustment criteria,'' are biodegradation, hydrolysis, and photolysis
(BHP). If a hazardous substance, when released into the environment,
degrades relatively rapidly to a less hazardous form by one or more of
the BHP processes, we generally increase its RQ (as determined by the
primary RQ adjustment criteria) by one level.\7\ Conversely, if a
hazardous substance degrades to a more hazardous product after its
release, we assign an RQ equal to the RQ for the more hazardous
substance, which may be one or more levels lower than the RQ for the
original substance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ We do not raise an RQ level based on BHP if the primary
criterion RQ is already at its highest possible level (100 pounds
for potential carcinogens and 5,000 pounds for all other types of
hazardous substances). The secondary adjustment criteria of BHP are
not applied to radionuclides.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Final RQ Adjustments
Following an extensive review of available scientific literature on
the 28 individual carbamates adjusted in this final rule, we found that
chronic toxicity profiles were warranted for nine of the 28 carbamates,
and that potential carcinogenicity profiles were warranted for six of
the 28 carbamates. EPA sought comment on those 15 draft chemical-
specific profiles in its December 2003, proposed rule. The Agency
received no comment on any of the 15 draft chemical-specific profiles.
RQs for several of the substances included in this rule are based, at
least in part, on the conclusions drawn in those profiles.
Three carbamates--bendiocarb, benomyl, and thiophanate-methyl--had
BHP data that were a sufficient basis for adjusting the primary
criteria RQs for these substances. Although several other carbamates
(e.g., propham) had BHP data that suggest rapid degradation, the
evidence for most of these substances was not conclusive. Therefore, no
adjustment to the RQs for the other 25 carbamates was proposed on the
basis of BHP.\8\ EPA sought additional degradation data (e.g., data on
BOD5 values and on half lives) for these 28 individual substances; \9\
however, no additional data were submitted in response to this request
for comment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ To review a summary of the BHP data on the 28 carbamates
included in this rule, see Exhibit 4-3 of the Technical Background
Document to Support Rulemaking Pursuant to CERCLA Section 102,
Volume 8, available for inspection at the Superfund Docket in the
EPA Docket Center, (EPA/DC) EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution
Ave., NW., Washington, DC. This document is not available
electronically; contact the Superfund Docket and reference, ``EPA-
HQ-SFUND-2002-0010-0048.''
\9\ One or more of the following criteria should be met for a
hazardous substance to qualify for further RQ adjustment based on
BHP: (1) Biodegradation: the substance must have a five-day
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) that equals or exceeds 50 percent
of the theoretical oxygen demand as calculated based on
stoichiometric oxidation; and (2) Hydrolysis/Photolysis: the half-
life of the substance in the environment must be five days or less.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA could not locate acceptable data on any of the primary or
secondary criteria for three of the 28 individual carbamates in this
proposed rule (see Table 1). In the past, when the statutory RQs of
such data-poor hazardous substances were adjusted, we used data from
chemically similar, surrogate substances.\10\ Keeping with that
practice, we conducted an analysis of other carbamates to identify
potential surrogate substances for the three data-poor hazardous
substances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ We used surrogate substances for the carbamates with
primary criteria data that are chemically similar, based primarily
on structural analogy, to the data-poor substances. For further
information and examples of EPA's use of surrogate data to adjust
RQs of hazardous substances, see Section 2 of the Technical
Background Document to Support Rulemaking Pursuant to CERCLA Section
102, Volume 8, available for inspection at the Superfund Docket in
the EPA Docket Center, (EPA/DC) EPA West, Room B102, 1301
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. This document is not
available electronically; contact the Superfund Docket and

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table 1 lists the chemically similar carbamates EPA used as
surrogates, and
[[Page 47111]]
the RQs that we proposed and now assign to each data-poor substance
based on its chemically similar surrogate.\11\ We requested primary and
secondary criteria data on these three data-poor substances and
solicited comment in the December 2003 proposal, as well as the choice
of surrogate substances used to adjust the RQs for these three
carbamates; however, we received no data or comment on these three
data-poor substances or choice of surrogate substances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ These three data-poor carbamates also are included in the
list of 28 individual carbamates that appear in Table 2. For further
information on the three data-poor carbamates and the chemically-
similar, surrogate substances that EPA has identified, see Section 3
of the Technical Background Document to Support Rulemaking Pursuant
to CERCLA Section 102, Volume 8, available for inspection at the

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note that in Table 2 below, we proposed, and now assign as
proposed, different RQs for the data-poor carbamate/surrogate pair of
Bendiocarb phenol (data-poor carbamate) and Bendiocarb (its surrogate)
as shown in Table 1, above. In Table 2, EPA applied the secondary
criteria of BHP to adjust the RQ for bendiocarb to 100 pounds. Due to
structural differences between the two substances, it was not
appropriate to apply the BHP data for bendiocarb to bendiocarb phenol.
Therefore, the final adjusted RQ for bendiocarb phenol is 1000 pounds.
(see Tables 1 and 2).
C. What Are the Final Adjusted RQs for the Individual Carbamates?
Table 2 lists the chemical names, CASRNs, and final adjusted RQs
for the 28 individual carbamates included in this final rule. The final
adjusted RQs for 27 of the 28 individual carbamates were raised from
their statutory one-pound levels; one of the 28 individual carbamates
``Dimetilan'' was adjusted to a final RQ of one-pound.

D. What Methodology Did EPA Use To Assign RQs for the Carbamate-Related
Waste Streams?
In addition to the 28 individual carbamate hazardous substances, we
also proposed and now assign RQs for the five carbamate-related RCRA
hazardous waste streams (K156, K157, K158, K159, and K161). As
described below, the methodology used to assign RQs to the RCRA F- and
K-hazardous waste streams differs from the standard methodology used to
adjust individual hazardous substances described in Section III.B.1,
above.
1. RQ Assignment Methodology for F- and K-Hazardous Waste Streams
The methodology to assign RQs to RCRA F- and K-hazardous waste
streams is based on an analysis of the hazardous constituents of the
waste streams. Specifically, EPA identifies the constituents of concern
in each RCRA hazardous waste stream in 40 CFR part 261, Appendix VII.
We then determine the RQ for each constituent within that waste stream
and assign the lowest RQ value of the constituents as the RQ for the
waste stream. We also used this same methodology to adjust the RQ for
K178 (see Section III.G. for more information).
2. RQ Assignments for the Carbamate-Related Waste Streams
In the February 1995 final rule, five carbamate-related waste
streams were assigned the statutory one-pound RQ required by CERCLA
section 102(b). (See 60 FR 7824, Feb. 9, 1995.) In the December 2003
proposed rule, EPA used its standard methodology for assigning RQs for
RCRA waste streams and assigned a one-pound final RQ for waste stream
K161 and 10-pound final RQs for the remaining four carbamate-related
waste streams (K156, K157, K158, and K159). The assigned RQs are based
on the constituent(s) with the lowest RQ within each of the waste
streams. This rule assigns the final RQs to each of the five carbamate-
related hazardous waste streams as proposed. Table 3 lists the
constituents and constituent RQs of each of the five carbamate-related
hazardous waste streams.

a. Comment Received on the Proposed RQ Adjustment for K156 and K157
In response to the proposed rule, 68 FR 67916, Dec. 4, 2003, EPA
received one comment \12\ regarding the 10-pound RQ assigned to K156
and K157. The commenter represents a manufacturer of carbamate products
and is familiar with EPA's 1994 RCRA carbamate rulemaking process. The
commenter would like to see higher RQs assigned for the K156 and K157
process wastes, although he acknowledges the Agency's policies in
assigning RQs for waste streams.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ You can view the full comment (e-mail) by going to:
www.regulations.gov, clicking on ``Advanced Search'' in the bar at
the top of the page, then ``Document Search.'' Search for the
document, ``EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0010-0115.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The commenter also requested that, ``EPA provide clear guidance and
examples of how the CERCLA RQ mixture rule applies to reporting
scenarios where the waste is K156 or K157, but contains none of the
above constituents, or contains one or more of these constituents at
known concentrations.''
b. Response To Comment--Application of Mixture Rule to Listed Wastes
Since the commenter did not provide any information to support a
higher RQ for EPA Hazardous Waste Nos. K156 and K157, we are
maintaining the 10 pound RQ for these two hazardous substances. With
respect to the mixture rule, 40 CFR 302.6(b)(1) provides notification
requirements where the quantity of all of the hazardous constituents of
the mixture or solution is known and where the quantity of one or more
of the hazardous constituent(s) of the mixture or solution is unknown.
Note: The Agency has issued guidance on applying the mixture
rule for reporting purposes (EPA publication, ``Questions and
Answers on Release Notification Requirements and Reportable Quantity
Adjustments,'' specifically questions 37-40 and Exhibit 1--Mixture
Rule Scenarios.) \13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

www.regulations.gov, clicking on ``Advanced Search'' in the bar at
the top of the page, then ``Document Search.'' Search for the
document, ``EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0010-0115.''
Application of the mixture rule may be most useful when the
concentration levels of all the hazardous constituents in a particular
carbamate waste stream are known and when an RQ or more of any
hazardous constituent is released. For the carbamate waste streams
addressed in this rule, appropriate use of the mixture rule may help
reduce the burden of notification requirements for the regulated
community, while adequately protecting public health and welfare and
the environment.
E. What Conforming Changes Are Made to 40 CFR Table 302.4 and Its
Appendix A?
EPA is modifying the entries in 40 CFR table 302.4--List of
Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities, for the carbamates
added by the February 1995, final rule. Specifically, we are revising
the entries for the chemical names of the carbamates in the ``Hazardous
substance'' column of table 302.4 to reflect the chemical names for
these substances as they appear in the RCRA tables of hazardous wastes
at 40 CFR 261.33(e) and (f).
For example, the February 1995, final rule lists two names for each
individual carbamate in table 302.4--a chemical name and a synonym in
parenthesis. However, whereas that final rule alphabetically lists
these two names as separate entries in the RCRA tables of hazardous
wastes in 40 CFR 261.33, it only adds one entry for each carbamate to
the list of hazardous substances.
Because each of the 28 individual carbamates included in this final
rule
[[Page 47113]]
has at least two separate entries in the RCRA tables of hazardous
wastes, we are listing each of them as separate entries in table 302.4.
To effectuate this change, this rule removes the previously listed
names for these hazardous substances and adds the chemical names and
synonyms as separate entries in table 302.4. We believe that these
changes to table 302.4 will improve consistency between the chemical
lists under RCRA and CERCLA and help to make carbamate synonyms easier
to find in the tables.
We have also made these conforming changes to entries in Appendix A
to table 302.4 for the 28 carbamates added to table 302.4, by the
February 1995, final rule.
F. What Conforming Changes Are Made to 40 CFR part 355?
Appendices A and B of 40 CFR part 355 list EHSs and their threshold
planning quantities (TPQs) under EPCRA and their CERCLA RQs, where
applicable. Eleven of the individual carbamates with RQs adjusted by
this final rule are also EHSs and CERCLA hazardous substances. In this
final rule, EPA is revising Appendices A and B of 40 CFR part 355 to
include those adjusted RQs. You can see the revisions to Appendices A
and B at the end of this final rule for the names of the individual
carbamates.
G. What Final RQ Is Assigned to the K178 Waste?
Section III.D.1 above describes the Agency's standard methodology
for assigning RQs for RCRA F- and K-hazardous waste streams, a process
that is based on an analysis of the hazardous constituents of each
waste identified in 40 CFR part 261, Appendix VII. We determine an RQ
for each constituent and establish the lowest RQ value of all of the
constituents as the assigned RQ for the hazardous waste stream. When
there are hazardous constituents identified in the waste stream that
are not individual CERCLA hazardous substances, EPA develops an RQ for
those constituents in order to assign an appropriate RQ to the waste
stream. (See 48 FR 23552, May 25, 1983.) In other words, we derive the
RQ for a RCRA hazardous waste stream based on the lowest RQ of all of
the hazardous constituents identified for that waste in Appendix VII of
40 CFR Part 261, regardless of whether all of the constituents are
CERCLA hazardous substances.
In September 2000, EPA published a proposed rule to list three
waste streams from the inorganic chemical manufacturing industry as
RCRA hazardous wastes in 40 CFR 261.32 and as CERCLA hazardous
substances in 40 CFR 302.4. (See 65 FR 55684, Sept. 14, 2000.) In that
rule, we proposed to adjust the statutory one-pound RQ for two of the
three waste streams, K176 and K177. Waste stream K178 contained two
hazardous constituents: thallium, which is a CERCLA hazardous substance
with a 1,000-pound RQ, and manganese, which is not a CERCLA hazardous
substance identified in 40 CFR 302.4 and does not have an RQ. Because
EPA did not develop an RQ for manganese in time for the September 2000,
proposed rule, we did not propose to adjust the statutory one-pound RQ
for K178 in that rule.
Numerous commenters to the September 2000, proposed rule objected
to using manganese as a basis for listing K178 as a hazardous waste,
citing potential adverse impacts to many industries. Although EPA
believed that manganese poses significant issues that ultimately should
be resolved, the court-ordered schedule for the hazardous waste
listings provided no flexibility to address those issues fully before
finalizing the listings. For that reason, in the November 2001, final
rule, EPA deferred final action on adding manganese to Appendix VII of
40 CFR part 261 as a basis for listing K178 as a hazardous waste. (See
66 FR 58258, Nov. 20, 2001.) The final hazardous waste listing for K178
was based solely on thallium.\14\ As a result, we proposed an RQ of
1,000 pounds for the K178 waste stream, which is based on the
constituent RQ for thallium. This rule assigns the final RQ for the
K178 waste stream as proposed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ Note that EPA also modified the listing description in the
November 2001 final rule to read, ``Residues from manufacturing and
manufacturing-site storage of ferric chloride from acids formed
during the production of titanium dioxide using the chloride-
ilmenite process.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
a. Comment Received on the Proposed RQ Adjustment for K178
In response to the proposed rule published in December 2003, EPA
received one comment\15\ regarding the 1,000-pound RQ assigned to K178.
The commenter represents a production facility directly affected by the
K178 listing. The commenter expresses support for the 1,000 pound RQ
assigned to the K178 listed hazardous waste and believes that the basis
for the adjustment (RQ for thallium) is sound for use in the
establishment of the 1,000-pound RQ. Because the individual containers
of K178 hazardous wastes used for accumulation and transportation to an
off-site RCRA hazardous waste treatment facility will contain more than
1,000 pounds, the commenter also requests that EPA discuss, ``the
proper application, with examples, of the CERCLA RQ mixture rule to
listed wastes such as K178.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

www.regulations.gov, clicking on ``Advanced Search'' in the bar at
the top of the page, then ``Document Search.'' Search for the
document, ``EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0011-0018.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
b. Response to Comment--Application of Mixture Rule to Listed Wastes
As described above (see section III.D.2.b.), where the person in
charge has knowledge of the specific constituent mix of the hazardous
waste stream, it may be appropriate to use the mixture rule to
determine whether there has been a release above an RQ for that waste
stream consistent with the known constituent mixture of the hazardous
waste stream. For example, for the inorganic chemical manufacturing
process waste stream K178, the RQ is based on the constituent thallium;
however, there are other constituents (nonhazardous) that make up the
waste stream. If the person in charge knows the relative amounts of
thallium to nonhazardous constituents in his waste stream, it may be
appropriate to use the mixture rule for RQ purposes for that waste
stream. It is important to note that attenuation of the waste stream
for the purpose of diluting the relative amount of thallium is
inconsistent with the intent of the mixture rule.
IV. Statutory and Regulatory Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
is therefore not subject to the review under the EO.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose any new information collection burden.
This final rule represents a reduction in the burden for both industry
and the government because we are raising the RQs for all but two of
the substances included in this final rule. The Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) has previously approved the information collection
requirements contained in the existing regulations 40 CFR 302 and 40
CFR 355 under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq. and has assigned OMB control number 2050-0046, EPA ICR
number 1049.10 and OMB control number 2050-0086, EPA ICR number
1445.06. A copy of the OMB approved Information Collection Requests
(ICRs) may be obtained from Susan Auby,
[[Page 47114]]
Collection Strategies Division; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(2822T); 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460 or by
calling (202) 566-1672.
The proposed rule estimated that the annual reporting and
recordkeeping burdens associated with reports to the NRC will be
reduced by approximately 720 hours (ICR No. 1049.09) and to SERCs and
LEPCs by 880 hours (ICR No. 1395.04). That estimate was based on
reports received for the period 1995 through 1999. Based on the period
2000 through 2002 (there was only one reported release) the estimated
annual reporting and recordkeeping burdens associated with reports to
the NRC will be reduced by 3 hours and to SERCs and LEPCs by 9 hours.
Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses,
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
For purposes of assessing the impacts of this rule on small
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business that has
fewer than 1000 or 100 employees per firm depending upon the SIC code
the firm primarily is classified; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction
that is a government of a city, county, town, school district or
special district with a population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small
organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise which is
independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.
After considering the economic impacts of this final rule on small
entities, I hereby certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. In
determining whether a rule has a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities, the impact of concern is any
significant adverse economic impact on small entities, since the
primary purpose of the regulatory flexibility analyses is to identify
and address regulatory alternatives ``which minimize any significant
economic impact of the proposed rule on small entities.'' 5 U.S.C. 603
and 604. Thus, an agency may certify that a rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
if the rule relieves regulatory burden, or otherwise has a positive
economic effect on all of the small entities subject to the rule.
We have therefore concluded that this final rule will relieve
regulatory burden for small entities.
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, EPA
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 in any
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement
is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA 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 EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation why that
alternative was not adopted. Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, including tribal governments, it must have developed under
section 203 of the UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must
provide for notifying potentially affected small governments, enabling
officials to have meaningful and timely input in the development of EPA
regulatory proposals with significant Federal intergovernmental
mandates, and informing, educating, and advising small governments on
compliance with the regulatory requirements.
This rule contains no Federal mandates (under the regulatory
provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for State, local or tribal
governments or the private sector. The rule imposes no enforceable duty
on any State, local, or tribal governments. EPA also has determined
that this rule contains no regulatory requirements that might
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. In addition, as
discussed above, the private sector is not expected to incur costs
exceeding $100 million. Thus, this final rule is not subject to the
requirements of Sections 202 and 205 of UMRA.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, Aug.
10, 1999), requires EPA 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.''
This 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. This rule directly affects
manufacturers, handlers, transporters, and other users of carbamates
that may release them into the environment; in addition, entities that
may release K178 hazardous waste will also be affected. There are no
State and local government bodies that incur direct compliance costs by
this rulemaking. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this
rule.
In the spirit of Executive Order 13132, and consistent with EPA
policy to
[[Page 47115]]
promote communications between EPA and State and local governments, EPA
specifically solicited comment on the proposed rule from State and
local officials.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, Nov. 9, 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 final rule does not have tribal
implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175. This rule does not
significantly or uniquely affect the communities of Indian tribal
governments, nor would it impose substantial direct compliance costs on
them. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks
The Executive Order 13045: ``Protection of Children From
Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997) 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 EPA has reason to believe
may have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory
action meets both criteria, the Agency must 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 the Agency.
This final rule is not subject to the Executive Order 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.
H. Executive Order 13211: Energy Effects
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.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
As noted in the proposed rule, Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public
Law. No. 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use
voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do
so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials
specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business
practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide Congress, through
OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use available and
applicable voluntary consensus standards.
The action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, EPA did
not consider the use of any voluntary consensus standards.
J. The Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as Added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996)
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 submitted a report containing this final rule, 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 rule
will be effective September 15, 2006.
