ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 272

[FRL-6005-6]


Hazardous Waste Management Program: Final Authorization and 
Incorporation by Reference of State Hazardous Waste Management Program 
for Oklahoma

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to incorporate by reference EPA's approval of the 
Oklahoma Department of Environment Quality's (ODEQ) hazardous waste for 
Non-HSWA Cluster VI, RCRA Clusters I, II, III and IV and to approve its 
revisions to that program submitted by the State of Oklahoma. In the 
final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the 
State's request as an immediate final rule without prior proposal 
because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for approving the State's 
request is set forth in the immediate final rule. If no adverse written 
comments are received in response to that immediate final rule, no 
further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If 
EPA receives adverse written comments, a second Federal Register notice 
will be published before the time the immediate final rule takes 
effect. The second notice may withdraw the immediate final rule or 
identify the issues raised, respond to the comments and affirm that the 
immediate final rule will take effect as scheduled. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments on this proposed rule must be received on or 
before June 1, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to Alima Patterson, Regional 
6 Authorization Coordinator, Grants and Authorization Section (6PD-G), 
Multimedia Planning and Permitting Division, at the address listed 
below. Copies of the materials submitted by ODEQ may be examined during 
normal business hours at the following locations: EPA Region 6 Library, 
12th Floor, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, Phone number: 
(214) 665-6444; or the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, 
1000 Northeast Tenth Street, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 73117-1212, Phone 
number: (405) 271-5338.
