voluntarily chosen to operate. Further,
as a result of the approval, provisions of
Wisconsin’s sludge management
program apply in lieu of the equivalent
federal program provisions
implemented by EPA under the CWA.
Affected parties are subject only to those
authorized state program provisions, as
opposed to being subject to both federal
and state regulatory requirements. Thus,
the requirements of section 6 of the
Executive Order do not apply.
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act, as
Amended by the Small Business
Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996 (SBREFA), 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
generally requires an agency to conduct
a regulatory flexibility analysis of any
rule subject to notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the
Administrative Procedures 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 not-for-
profit enterprises, and small
governmental jurisdictions.
Today’s action does not have a
significant impact on a substantial
number of small entities because it does
not impose any new requirements on
small entities because small entities that
generate or prepare sewage sludge for
land application, landfilling, or surface
disposal are already subject to the
regulatory requirements under state and
federal laws. With approval of the
program modification, the state’s
program applies in lieu of the
equivalent federal program. Therefore,
because the approval does not create
any new requirements, I certify that this
action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Under section 202 of the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA),
signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA
must prepare a budgetary impact
statement to accompany any proposed
or final rule that includes a federal
mandate that may result in estimated
annual costs to state, local, or tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or to the
private sector, of $100 million or more.
Under section 205, EPA must select the
most cost-effective and least
burdensome alternative that achieves
the objectives of the rule and is
consistent with statutory requirements.
Section 203 requires EPA to establish a
plan for informing and advising any
small governments that may be
significantly or uniquely impacted by
the rule.
EPA has determined that this action
does not include a federal mandate that
may result in estimated annual costs of
$100 million or more to either state,
local, or tribal governments in the
aggregate, or to the private sector. With
EPA’s approval of the program
modification, the state’s program
applies in lieu of the equivalent federal
program, therefore, imposing no new
requirements under state or local law.
Accordingly, no additional costs to
state, local, or tribal governments, or to
the private sector, result from this
action.
G. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
Section 12 of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act
(NTTAA) of 1995 requires federal
agencies to evaluate existing technical
standards when developing a new
regulation. To comply with NTTAA,
EPA must consider and use ‘‘voluntary
consensus standards’’ (VCS) if available
and applicable when developing
programs and policies unless doing so
would be inconsistent with applicable
law or otherwise impractical.
EPA believes that VCS are
inapplicable to this action. Today’s
action does not involve technical
standards.
H. Paperwork Reduction Act
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act,
44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., federal agencies
must consider the paperwork burden
imposed by any informational request
contained in a proposed rule or a final
rule. Today’s action will not impose any
information requirements upon the
regulated community.
