[FRL-6427-1]


North Carolina: 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 for the 
hazardous waste program revisions submitted by North Carolina. 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 September 24, 
1999.

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, 61 Forsyth
