40 CFR Part 271
[FRL-7825-7]
Florida: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Florida has applied to EPA for Final authorization of the
changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to
Florida. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register, EPA is authorizing the changes by an immediate final rule.
EPA did not make a proposal prior to the immediate final rule because
we believe this action is not controversial and do not expect comments
that oppose it. We have explained the reasons for this authorization in
the preamble to the immediate final rule. Unless we get written
comments which oppose this authorization during the comment period, the
immediate final rule will become effective on the date it establishes,
and we will not take further action on this proposal. If we get
comments that oppose this action, we will withdraw the immediate final
rule and it will not take effect. We will then respond to public
comments in a later final rule based on this proposal. You may not have
another opportunity for comment. If you want to comment on this action,
you must do so at this time.
DATES: Send your written comments by November 15, 2004.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Audrey E. Baker, Florida
