[FRL-7846-1]
Tennessee: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Tennessee 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
Tennessee for RCRA Clusters IX through XII. 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.
