40 CFR Part 271

[FRL-6120-1]


Washington: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve a revision to Washington's 
authorized hazardous waste program. In the final rules section of 
today's Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's request as an 
immediate final rule without a 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 the immediate final rule, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse 
written comments, EPA will withdraw the immediate final rule before the 
effective date by publishing a notice of withdrawal in the Federal 
Register. 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 August 6, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments referring to Docket Number 6120-1 may be 
mailed to Nina Kocourek, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 
10, 1200 Sixth Avenue, WCM-122, Seattle, WA 98101, Phone: (206) 553-
