Delaware: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to grant final authorization to the hazardous waste program revisions submitted by Delaware. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing the State's program revisions as an immediate final rule without prior proposal because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the authorization is set forth in the immediate final rule. If no adverse written comments are received on this action, the immediate final rule will become effective and no further activity will occur in relation to this proposal. If an adverse comment is received EPA will publish either (1) a withdrawal of the immediate final decision or (2) a document containing a response to comments which either affirms that the immediate final decision takes effect or reverses the decision. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 17, 1998.
