New Hampshire: Final Approval of Underground Storage Tank Program
Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The State of New Hampshire has applied to EPA for approval of
the changes to its underground storage tank program under Subtitle I of
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has determined
that these amendments satisfy all requirements needed for program
approval and proposes to approve the State's changes. In the ``Rules
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving
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 approval in the preamble to the
immediate final rule. Unless we get 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 may not have another opportunity for
comment. If you want to comment on this action, you must do so at this
time.

restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to

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

clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
