These regulations are being
promulgated under the authority of
sections 3001, 3004, 3005, and 3006 of the
Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended
(commonly known as the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act. or
RCRA1, 42 U.S.C. 6921, 6924, 6925, and
6926., .
n. Background
A. Regulatory Framework
Subtitle C of the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976
(RCRA) creates a comprehensive
- national program for the safe
management of hazardous waste.
Among the elements of this program,
section 3001 requires the Agency to
develop and promulgate characteristics
for identifying hazardous waste, and for
specifically listing hazardous wastes.
Furthermore, sections 3004 and 3005
require the Agency to promulgate the
standards necessary to protect human
health and the environment for the
treatment, storage and disposal of
hazarous -waste, and to implement those
standards through a permit program.
The Agency has promulgated a
detailed set of criteria, standards,
definitions, and other requirements to
meet its charge under sections 3001,
3004, and 3005. Associated with
characterizing wastes, determining their
proper management, and monitoring the
performance of waste management
units, is a panoply of testing methods
that address the sampling and analytical
procedures to be used. These methods
ensure accuracy, precision, and
comparability of test results.
EPA Publication SW-846, "Test
Methods for Evaluating Solid Waste,
PhysicaVChemical Methods" contains
those sampling and analysis methods
that EPA has, in principle, approved. In
situations where the regulations require
the use of appropriate SW-846 methods,
the regulations specify the Second
Edition of EPA's SW-848 manual (1982)
as amended by Updates I (April 1984)
and n (April 1985). As described in more
detail below, since 1985 EPA has issued
many new SW-846 methods as
guidance, and has issued a Third Edition
of SW-846. These later methods have
not yet been approved. In January, 1989,
EPA proposed to amend the regulations
to approve the use of all of the new
methods, in addition to the older ones.
Some of the new methods (including
the 47 covered by this rule) were
proposed for approval in 1984. To
expedite the use of these particular 47
methods, this final Tulemaking provides
that these methods are approved for use
where the regulations require
compliance with appropriate SW-846
methods. The existing Second Edition
methods continue to be approved.-EPA
also intends to proceed with the January
1989 proposal (excluding the 47 methods
approved today), so that all new
methods contained in the Third Edition
of SW-846 (and Update I) will be
approved.
B. Nature of the SW-846 Manual
Approved and standardized testing
and quality control (QC) procedures are
needed to assist both the regulated
community in complying with RCRA
testing requirements and EPA officials
in enforcing them. Thus, the Agency
publishes and maintains a guidance
manual, "Test Methods for Evaluating
Solid Waste, Physical/Chemical
Methods", OSW publication SW-846.
This manual provides a unified, up-to-
date source of information on sampling,
analytical, and QC procedures related to
compliance with the RCRA regulations.
It brings together in one reference
document all of these procedures that
have been approved by the Agency for
use in the RCRA regulatory program and.
in determining compliance with the
RCRA requirements. However, except
where regulations specifically require
the use of certain SW-846 test methods
or QC procedures, use of the methods
contained in SW-846 are not mandatory.

On Octoberl, 1984 ฃ43 FR.33786-
33812.),. EPA.proposed.several chanopg ta
the subtitle C hazardous waste
regulations. These proposed changes
kieludedi the following elements^ .
fl J Addition- of &T new methods- to-
SW-848;'
(ZJ Mandatory adherence to the
procedures, and methods in SW-846 for

(4) Use of screening: tests when.
mom'toring ground water for hazardous
constituentsr and
(5] Use of the Hierarchical Analysis
Protocol for ground water screening.
Many comments were received, on. the
proposak The Agency evaluated these
comments- and,, ss s result, decided not
to promulgate the October 1,1984
proposaL Instead* the Agency revised.
&W-84&;. aป a guidance manual, to-
incorporate many of the suggestions-
made fii the comments and undertook
other actions, to address changes to the
ground water monitoring regulations. On- -
March Iff, 1987; EPA announced the
availability of the Third Edition of SW-
846. in. the Federal Register (52 FR 8072],
The Agency has since proposed in. a
separate rnleraaldng that the Third
Edition- of SW-848; together with Update

Edition: of SW-848; the. currently
incorporated' reference in f 260:11 (54 FR
3212-3229?. The effect of tins proposal,
would be: (t) To require use of the Third
Edition as amended by Update I, for all'
testing; for which the SW-848 methods
are specifically .mandated' in. current
subtitle C regulations (seelistinlLC.);
and (2) to update all'informational
references to SW^-848 wherever they
occur in 4d CFR parts 280r-27CL
Furthermore^ the proposed rule would
require persons performing RCRA-
related testing^ whether or not they are
using SW-848,. to follow Quality Control
procedures detailed in. Chapter One of
the Third Edition,. Update I of SW-848.
This final rule constitutes a separate
approval and adoption of 47"methods
now contained in the Third Edition of
SW-848 as amended by Update I. These
47 methods were among 61 methods
originally/ proposed in the October. 1,.
1984,, Federal Register notice.. In light of
the comments, received on- these 47
methodsv some of the methods have
been revised. The Third Edition and
Update I of the Third Edition of SW-346
already contain the revised versions of
the 47 methods proposed hi October
1984.
Through today's final rule, use- of
these; 47 newlp-approved methods'
becomes an acceptable means of
compliance where the regulations
specifically mandate, use of appropriate
SW-846 methods (see list in II.C.) and
wftere the appropriate procedure
includes one or more of these 47
methods^ Hence, persons required'by
regulation to use SW-846 methods will
be responsible for adhering, as
appropriate; to either SW-846, Second
Edition as amended by Updates I and II,
or to these 47 newly-approved methods
that now appear in the Third Edition
and its-Update-E All other portions of
the Third Edition and its Update I are
not approved or mandatory for anyone
at this time., but may be ui the- future
(see-Proposed Rule; 54> FR 3212-3229].
IIL Issues Discussed ur and Arising
From the October 1984 Proposed; Rule
A. Overview of Proposed'Rule
The October 1,'1984-Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM], proposed
five inaj'pr revisions to the. RCRA
hazardous waste, regulations; each
related to testing and monitoring
activities (see II.D. above], A key reason

analysis- for "alP" or "each" constituent
-------
40262 Federal Register / Vol. 54, No. 188 / Friday. September 29. 1989 / Rules and Regulations
listed on Appendix Vffl of part 261 as
required under 40 CFR Part 264.
The Appendix Vm list has presented ,
a number of problems when used for
purposes of ground water monitoring.
These include practical analytical
problems such as listings which are
large categories of chemicals, the
dissociation or actual decomposition of
many Appendix VDI constituents when
placed in water, and the lack of
analytical standards or analytical :
screening methods for many
constituents.
EPA acknowledged in 1982 that it lack
analytical methods for nine of the
Appendix Vffl constituents {see 47 FR
32290, July 28,1982). Also, in!984, EPA
proposed to eliminate 23 Appendix Vffl
constituents from th'e ground water
analysis requirements (see 49 FR 38786,
October 1,1984). ' ,
EPA amended its regulations of July 9,
1987, to establish a new list of
constituents-for ground water
monitoring (52 FR 25942-25953). -
Appendix IX of part 284 replaces
Appendix Vffl of part 281 as the ground
water monitoring list Appendix IX to -
part 264 is made up of those compounds
on Appendix Vffl for which it is feasible
to analyze in ground water samples,
plus 17 chemicals routinely monitored in
the Superfund program. This change has
altered the basis for much of the
. October 1984 proposal. For this reason,
only the addition of 47 SW-848 methods
is finalized in this rule.
Bi Other New-Methods in SW-848 that ~
Are Not Part of Today'? Rule
The Third Edition contains 72 ,
methods'that are new to SW-846. Of
these, 47 are covered by this rulemaking.
As, noted earlier, these 47 methods were
among 61 methods first proposed in the
1984 NPRM. Four of these methods
appear in Update I to the Third Edition
of SW-848, not in the Third Edition
itself.
The Agency's January 1989 proposal
to change the incorporation by reference
in ง 280.11 from the Second Edition of
SW-848 to the Third Edition and its
Update I (54 FR 3212-3229), covers not
only these 72 new methods in the .
current Third Edition, but also 14 .
". methods that are new to SW-848 as of
-Update I to the Third Edition. If that
proposal is finalized unchanged, all
methods contained in the Third Edition
and Update I of SW-846 (including.the
47 methods adopted today) would be
applicable where regulations
specifically mandate use of appropriate
SW-848 methods.
C, Methods Adopted in Today's Rule
The 47 methods being addressed in
this rule are listed in. Table 1. One other
method proposed in 1984 and contained
in the Third Edition and Update I is
Method 9090, Compatibility Test for
Wastes and Membrane Liners (as
revised). Method 9090 is not included in
today's final rule. Rather, the Agency
has sought further comment on the
revised version (54 FR 3212-3229). The
remaining thirteen of the 61 methods
proposed in 1984 are not included
because problems were encountered
during reevaluation following the
comment period. Data generated by the
public and by EPA has demonstrated
that the methods could not be used in
their published form for the purpose
stated These methods are-listed in
Table-2. The Agency does not plan to
finalize these methods now, or in the
near future.

D. Comments Regarding the 47Methods
Adopted in This Final Rule
1. General Comments
EPA received comments addressing 25
of the 47 methods adopted in this final
rule. Eleven commenters made 98
specific comments or queries. Five of
these methods received 65 percent of the
total comment; these methods are 1330,
1320,9100,9131, and 0030, which are
discussed individually below. For other
comments and the Agency's response
thereto, see "Public Comment
Summaries and Responses for 40 CFR
parts 260 and 261, Forty-Seven New
- Analytical Methods Approved for
subtitle C RCRA Hazardous Waste
Testing, Proposed RuleOctober 1,
1984," in this docket
s Many of the comments or questions
regarding these 47 methods were framed
against the proposed requirement of
mandatory use of SW-848 methods for
-~ all testing and monitoring activities
required under subtitle C. That will not
be the case under this rulemaking;
except where regulations specifically
require the use of certain SW-848 test
methods or QC procedures (see H.C.),
the SW-846 manual is a guidance
. document and is not mandatory.
In this context, several commenters
asked for clarification on the regulatory
status of Methods 1320 (Multiple
Extraction Procedure) and 1330
(Extraction Procedure for Oily Wastes)
in relation to Method 1310: Extraction
Procedure (EP) Toxicity Test Method
and Structural Integrity Test. Through
today's rale, all three are approved
methods. However, Method 1310 is
required to be used to determine
whether a waste exhibits the
characteristic of EP Toxicity under 40
CFR 261.24 and Appendix II of 40 CFR
part 261, (i.e., whether a waste is
hazardous under subtitle C of RCRA). ,
On the other hand. Methods 1320 and
1330 are not mandatory. They were
created for specific applications to
wastes that are already defined as
hazardous as part of the permitting and
delisting process, and are not used in
defining whether a solid waste exhibits
the toxicity characteristic. _
Consequently, they are employed on a
case:by-case basis when requested by a
permit writer. (Note that if these
methods are used to support a petition
to delist a listed waste at a particular
facility under 40 CFR 260.22(d)(l)(i), use
could become mandatory.)
Several commenters questioned the
rationale for providing more than one
method for certain analytes or
parameters. These commenters argued
that the different methods may produce
data that vary in precision and
accuracy; in addition, they indicated
that some methods are considered
outmoded by current technology. The
Agency agrees that different methods
will measure the presence and/or
concentration of a given analyte or
parameter with varying capabilities of
precision and accuracy, and that some
methods are seldom used due to new
technology. However, the Agency
believes that each method approved
provides data acceptable within the
scope of the method as defined in
section 1.0, "Scope and Application" of
each method. The philosophy of the
Agency is that the manual should
remain a compendium of approved
-------

methods available for use at the "
discretion of the various programs and
permit writers operating under RCRA.
When a- specific method-is not required
and when multiple methods are
available for the analysis of the same ',
analyte or parameter, then the permittee
or the regulated facility or laboratory
performing the analysis may choose
among the appropriatemethcd*. '

Comment Summaries, and Response in

2. Method 133ฃt T?vfrnoHnn Procedure, for.
Oily Wastes
Method 1330 received 22 specific
comments, from seven commenter*,
many of wMcE asked for clarification: OIL
technical procedures. The Public
Comment Summarfea and. Responses-
document in the docket contains the
Agency's discussion of the technically-
oriented comments. One commenter
contends that Method 1330 provides for
a worst case scenario- with regard to the
leaching ofheavy metals which were-
either contained"fri the oil orwere
formerly shielded from me leaching-
media by the oiL The commenter
contends that oil biodegrades very
slowly and. thatthese metals would
becomcr available ta the environment at
such a- alow rate that they will neverbe-
detected in. otherwise naturally-
occurring leachatea.
While we agree that Method 1330 is
intended to be a worst case scenario, it
is not an. unreasonable scenario. Method'
1330 was designed to measure the
leaching potential of metals' from an oily
waste in, a reasonably quick and
efficient manner based on the,
assumption, that the oil phase-is mobile
and will migrate- away from the solid..
Sock mobility has been seen in a
number of situations. However* enough -"

Method 1320 received'12 specific
.comments from four commentera, many
of which also asked for clarification-cm
technical procedures. See Public
Comment Summaries and Responses.
One commenter recommended against
the inclusion of Method 132O in Table 1
of. Appendix.ni of 40 CFR part 261
before regulations have been
promulgated-that designate the
impKcated'wastes as hazardous, or
govern tEeiz. treatment, storage, and

rather than to make this method

The Agency agrees witfr the-
commenter:tfiatMetfiod 1320"not be
included in Table 1 of Appendix m. nor
that it be made mandatory at this time.
Hence; the-twe and interpretation of this
method are currently left to evaluation
by appropriate regulatory officials on a
case-by-case basis.. - -
4. Method 9100: Saturated: Hydraulic
Conductivity, Saturated Leachate
Conductivity, and Intrinsic Permeability
Method 9100 received eleven
comments from two commenters. Most
of the comments- on this- method-were
concerned with the technical
requirements of individual procedures.
For example, tfie method recommends-
well casing diameters of 1% to'1%
inches for slug tests nrmaterials of low
hydraulic conductivity. The commenter
recommends a minimum, inner diameter
of Z incbes'to allow enough resolution
for slug tests in low permeability soils.
and'also to facilitate bailing and
sampling,
The Agency believes that while this-
may have merit.
Z Method 9131: Total Conform: Multiple
Tube Fermentation Technique
Method 9131 received ten specific
comments from a single commenter. The
proposed method suffered from several
typographical errors; These errors have
been, corrected in the current update of
SW-a46: Themethod specifies that
quality control (QC) data be provided on
20 percent of all samples analyzed. The
commenter contends, that & 1O percent
QC check is- sufficient Because the
Confirmed Test rarely faila the
Completed Test
The Agencybelievea that this
recommendation may have merit;
however, the Agency believes that
additional information must be collected
before the Agency changes the QC
procedures. Therefore, fee Agency iป
specifying that 20 percent, of the samples
Be analyzed'as part of QC for this
particular method.
6. Method 0030: Volatile Organic

Method'OOSO received nine specific.'
comments from two commenters. One
itenter recommends1 that
additional information, must be collected
before the Agency can, recommend, a
change Therefore, the Agency is
specifying a well casing diameter."of 1V*
to iVa inches for slug tests in materials
of low hydraulic conductivity.
breakthrough, criteria be established for
Principal Organic Hazardous
Constituents (POHCs) for the purpose of
determining the validity of a test run.
Specifically,, the commenter.
recommends that a 2 to 1 front-to-back
ratio of POHC collected be established.
The Agency believes that this
recommendation has merit, and is
developing the methodology and criteria
to permit implementation of a QC
procedure of thia kind at some point in
the future. The Agency believes,
however, that the method performance
check and"performance audit specified
in the current procedure are sufficient to
identify significant problems in the
methodology. The Agency is, therefore,
finalizing thiH method in its current form.
E. Information Related'to Tables 2 and
3, Appendix HI, Part 261
Along with, thia final rule, the Agency
is republishirtg Tables Z and 3 of
Appendixin, part 261. Table 2 identifies
the approved-measurement methods^
available for inorganic species and other
miscellaneous.groups of analytes
contained hi SW-^846. Table 3
summarizes the contents, of SW-846 and
supplies-the specific section and method
" number for sampling and analysis
methods. Republication of these two
tables in theii entirety is intended to
give guidance on. where appropriate EPA
approved methods are found: in either
the Second or Third Editions.
In that respect, note that pacts oฃ these
tables are unchanged from the current
-------
Federal Register / Vol. 54, No. 188 / Friday, September 29, 1989 / Rules and Regulations 40265
tables appearing in the Code of Federal
Regulations. Those unchanged portions
of the tables are included in today's
revision strictly for the convenience of
the reader. These portions were not and
are not involved in this rulemaking.
Other portions of Tables 2 and 3 are
being updated to reflect the approval of
the 47 methods which are the subject of
this rulemaking, and to provide easy
reference to the source documents.
IV. State Authority .
A. Applicability of Rules in Authorized
.State* -....
' Under section 3006 of RCRA, EPA
may authorize qualified States to
administer and enforce the RCRA
program within the State. (See 40 CFR
part 271 for the standards and
requirements for authorization.)
following authorization, EPA retains
enforcement authority under sections
3008,7003 and 3013 of RCRA, although
authorized States have primary
enforcement responsibility.
Prior to the Hazardous and Solid
Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA), a
State with final authorization "
administered its hazardous waste
. 'program entirely in lieu of EPA
administering the Federal program in
that State. The Federal requirements no
longer applied in the authorized State,
and EPA could not issue permits for any
facilities in the State where the State
was authorized to permit When new,
more stringent Federal requirements
were promulgated or enacted, the State
was obliged to enact equivalent
authority within specified time frames. .
New Federal requirements did not take
effect in an authorized State until the
State adopted the requirements as State
law.
In contrast, under section 3006(g) of
RCRA, 42 U;S.C. 6926(g), new
requirements and prohibitions imposed
by the HSWA take effect in authorized
States at the same time that they take
effect in nonauthorized States. EPA is.
directed to carry out those requirements
and prohibitions in authorized States,
including the issuance of permits, until
the State is granted authorization to do
so. While States must still adopt
HSWA-related provisions as State law
to retain final authorization, the HSWA
applies in authorized States in the
interim.
B. Effect on State Authorizations
Today's rule is imposed pursuant to
pre-HSWA authority. Therefore, it is not
immediately effective in authorized
States. The requirements will be
applicable only in those States that do
not have interim or final authorization.
In authorized States, the requirements
will not be applicable until the State
revises its program to adopt equivalent
requirements under State law.
40 CFR 271.21(e)(2) requires that
States that have final authorization must
modify their programs to reflect Federal
program changes and must subsequently
submit the modifications to EPA for
. approval The deadline by which the
State must modify its program to adopt
today's rule is July 1; 1991. These
deadlines can be extended in certain
cases (40 CFR 271.21(e)(3)). Once EPA
approves the modification, the State .
requirements become Subtitle C RCRA
requirements.
States with authorized RCRA
. programs may already have
requirements similar to those hi today's
rule. These State regulations have not
been assessed against the Federal
regulations being promulgated today to
determine whether they meet the tests
for authorization. Thus, a State is not
authorized to carry out these
requirements in lieu of EPA until the
State regulations are submitted to EPA
for authorization approval. Of course,
States with existing regulations'may
continue to administer and enforce their
. standards as a matter of State law.
States that submit their official
application for final authorization less
than 12 months after the effective date
of these standards are not required to
include standards equivalent to these
standards in their application. However
the State must modify its program by the
deadlines set forth in ง 271.21(e)..States
that submit official applications for final
authorization 12 months after the
effective date of these standards must
include standards equivalent to these
standards hi their application. 40 CFR
271.3 sets forth the requirements a State
must meet when submitting its final
authorization application.
V. Effective Date
This rule will be effective 30 days
after final promulgation. Section 3010(b)
of RGRA provides that regulations
promulgated pursuant to subtitle C of
RCRA shall take effect six months after
the date of promulgation. However,
section 3010(b)(l) provides for a shorter
period if the Agency finds that the
regulated community does not need six
months .to comply with the new
regulation.
Since today's rule is designed to
incorporate test methods already known
to and used by the regulated community
and since use of the Second Edition of
SW-846 is allowed, the Agency believes
that the regulated community will not
need six months to come into.
compliance. Therefore, these
'amendments are effective 30 days after
promulgation, as provided under the
Administrative Procedure Act.
VI. Regulatory Analyses
A. Regulatory Impact Analysis
Under Executive Order 12291, EPA
must determine whether a regulation is
"Major!' and, therefore, subject to the .
requirement of a Regulatory Impact
Analysis. This rule will approve, but not
require, the use of these 47 methods
found in the Third Edition of SW-846
and Update L The 47 methods to be
finalized in this rule offer the regulated
community, in some cases, refinements
of existing methods and, in other cases,
new technology that provide alternative
methods to those now available for the
analysis of certain analytes or
parameters. This final rule entails no
additional testing or record keeping
burden and, therefore, no additional cost
burden to the regulated community.
Therefore, the Agency does not
believe these added methods will result
in an annual effect on the economy of
$100 million or more; or a major increase
in costs or prices for consumers,
individual industries, Federal, State, or
local government agencies, or
geographic regions; or significant
adverse effects on competition,
employment, investment, productivity,
innovation, or in domestic or export
markets. The Agency believes that
today's rule is not a major rule under
Executive Order 12291 and, therefore,
has not prepared a Regulatory Impact
Analysis (RIA). This regulation was
submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget for review as required by
Executive Order 12291.
B. Regulatory'Flexibility Act
Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. section 601-612, Pub. L. 96-
354, September 19,1980), whenever an
agency is required to publish a general
notice of.rulemaking for any proposed or
final rule, it must prepare and make
available for public comment a
regulatory flexibility analysis (RFA) that
describes the impact of the rule on small
entities (i.e., small businesses, small
organizations, and small governmental
jurisdictions). No regulatory flexibility
analysis is required, however, if the
head of the agency certifies that the rule
will not have a significant impact on a.
substantial number of small entities.
This rule will not require the purchase
of new instruments or equipment. The
regulation requires no new reports
beyond those now required. The . .
analytical techniques approved here can
either be handled by small facilities, or
-------
40266 Federal Resistor / Vol. 54, No. 188 / Friday, September 29, 1989 / Rules and Regulations'
arc widely available by contract at a
reasonable price. Furthermore, small
entities may not need to use any of
these 47 methods. EPA is certifying that
this rule will nor have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities (ardefinedby
the RFA), Therefore, in accordance with
5 U.S.C. B05(b). I hereby certify that this.
rule will nothavB a significant adverse
economic impact on a substantial
number of HmalLcntitie*.

-The Third Edition and its Updates will supersede the Second Edition and its Updates I and II when it is adopted. Until the Third Edition is adopted, in a final rule,
the Second Edition and its updates must be used for regulatory purposes. Therefore, reference to the Third Edition, in these tables is provided for convenience. The
Third Edition of SW-846 and Update I are available from the Government Printing Office, Superintendent of Documents, Washington, DC 20402, (202) 738-3238,
document number 955-001-00000-1. .
This method may be used in conjunction with or In addition to the methods found in the Second Edition of SW-846 as amended by Updates I and II.
tWhen Method 9066 is used it must be preceded by the manual distillation specified in procedure 7.1 of Method 9065. Just prior to distillation in Method 9065,
adjust the sutfuric acid-preserved sample to pH 4 with 1+9 NaOH. After the manual distillation is completed, the autoanalyzer manifold is simplified by connecting the
re-sample fine directiy to the sampler. .
