Wyoming: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Reopening of Public Comment Period on Proposed Rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are reopening the public comment period on the proposed
rule for Wyoming: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program Revision published on February 25, 1999, which
proposed to grant final authorization for the first revision to
Wyoming's Hazardous Waste Rules. Due to adverse comment received and
the passage of Senate File 147 (SF 147), we are reevaluating the
State's program to ensure that it meets the requirements for
authorization of a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
hazardous waste program.
DATES: Written comments on this proposed rule must be received on or
before July 22, 1999. If there is sufficient public interest, a public
hearing will be held no earlier than June 22, 1999. Requests to present
testimony at a hearing must be received on or before June 7, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments and requests for public hearing to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are reopening the public comment period
for the proposed rule published at 46 FR 09295 on February 25, 1999,
which proposed to grant final authorization for the first revision to
Wyoming's Hazardous Waste Rules. The previous public comment period for
this proposed rule closed on March 29, 1999.
Due to the adverse comment received and the passage of SF 147, we
are asking for additional comments. SF 147 modifies the corrective
action requirements and provides for ``innocent owner'' exemptions from
environmental liability. We are inviting the public to provide
comments. In addition, if there is sufficient interest, we will hold a
public hearing to accept verbal and/or written comments. Anyone wishing
to present testimony must send us a request using the information
provided in the DATES and ADDRESSES sections of this notice. All
comments and testimony will be addressed in a subsequent final action.
Dated: April 16, 1999.
William P. Yellowtail,
Regional Administrator, Region VIII.
