[FRL-7926-9]

 
Maine: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Vermont has applied to EPA for Final authorization of changes 
to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to 
Vermont. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is authorizing these 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 adverse 
comments that oppose it. We have explained the reasons for this 
authorization in the preamble to the immediate final rule. Unless we 
get written adverse 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 should do so at this time.

DATES: Send your written comments by July 25, 2005.

Unit, EPA Region 1, One Congress Street, Suite 1100 (CHW), Boston, MA
