Vermont: 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 hazardous waste program revisions submitted by Vermont. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' 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. The Agency has explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the immediate final rule. If EPA does not receive adverse written comments, the immediate final rule will become effective and the Agency will not take further action on this proposal. If EPA receives adverse written comments, EPA will withdraw the immediate final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will then address public comments in a later final rule based on this proposal. EPA may not provide further opportunity for comment. Any parties interested in commenting on this action must do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 25, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In addition to proposing the authorization for changes to Vermont's hazardous waste program, EPA is making technical corrections to provisions referenced in its immediate final rule published in the Federal Register on May 3, 1993 (58 FR 26242) and effective August 6, 1993 (58 FR 31911) which authorized the State for revisions to its hazardous waste program. This proposed rule relates only to the immediate final rule to authorize the State's program changes and not to the technical corrections to the 1993 Federal Register.

For additional information, please see the immediate final rule published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.

Dated: September 16, 1999. John P. DeVillars, Regional Administrator, Region I.
