Massachusetts: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is providing additional opportunity to the public to 
comment on the proposal to grant final authorization to the 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts for revisions to its hazardous waste 
program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) 
published in the Federal Register of February 24, 1999 (64 FR 9110). 
The notice proposes to approve Massachusetts for final authorization 
for provisions of the Universal Waste Rule (UWR) and the Toxicity 
Characteristics (TC) Rule except as they relate to cathode ray tubes 
(CRTs). The purpose of today's document is to extend the public comment 
period from March 26, 1999 to May 10, 1999. This extension is provided 
in response to a request from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to 
extend the comment period by an additional 45 days. EPA does not 
anticipate granting any further extensions of this comment period.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 10, 1999.
