[FRL-7857-7]
New York: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: New York has applied to EPA for Final authorization of changes
to its hazardous waste program under Solid Waste Disposal Act, as
amended, commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to New York for
these changes which are described in the ``Rules and Regulations''
section of this Federal Register. In that section, 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 either withdraw the immediate final rule, or the
portion of the immediate final rule that is the subject of the
comments. Only the remaining portion of the rule will take effect. We
will then respond to those public comments opposing this authorization
in a second final authorization notice. This second final notice may or
may not include changes based on comments received during the public
notice comment period. You may not have another opportunity for
comment. If you want to comment on this action, you must do so at this
time.

by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or
otherwise protected through regulations.gov, or e-mail. The Federal

provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-mail comment
directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov, your e-mail
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the
comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties, and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters or any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
