ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 257
[FRL-7642-9]
Delaware and Maryland: Adequacy of State Solid Waste Landfill
Permit Programs Under RCRA Subtitle D
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document proposes to approve Delaware's and Maryland's
solid waste regulations which ensure that hazardous waste from
conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) will only be
disposed of in accordance with EPA regulations. In the ``Rules and
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving
Delaware's and Maryland's regulations by an Immediate Final Rule. EPA
did not make a proposal prior to the
[[Page 17381]]
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 approval in the preamble to the
Immediate Final Rule. Unless we receive written comments which oppose
this approval 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 receive 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 will 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 May 3, 2004.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Mike Giuranna, RCRA State
Programs Branch, Waste & Chemicals Management Division (3WC21), U.S.
