Tennessee: 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 Tennessee. 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 October 15, 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
