00-18790. INDIANA: 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 Indiana. 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 August 25, 2000.

Mail written comments to Gary Westefer, Indiana Regulatory Specialist, United States Environmental Protection Agency Region 5, DM-7J, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, telephone [phone].
