ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 271

[FRL-6166-4]


North Carolina; Final Authorization of Revisions to State 
Hazardous Waste Management Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to grant final authorization to the hazardous 
waste program revisions submitted by North Carolina. In the final rules 
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. A detailed rationale for the authorization is set 
forth in the immediate final rule. If no adverse written comments are 
received, the immediate final rule will become effective and no further 
activity will occur in relation to this proposal. If EPA receives 
adverse written comments, EPA will withdraw the immediate final rule 
before its effective date by publishing a withdrawal in the Federal 
Register. EPA will then respond to 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 should 
do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before November 23, 
1998.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to Narindar Kumar, Chief, RCRA 
Programs Branch, Waste Management Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, The Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center,
