Vermont: 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 hazardous
waste program revisions submitted by Vermont. 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 25, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In addition to proposing the authorization
for changes to Vermont's hazardous waste program, EPA is making
technical corrections to provisions referenced in its immediate final
rule published in the Federal Register on May 3, 1993 (58 FR 26242) and
effective August 6, 1993 (58 FR 31911) which authorized the State for
revisions to its hazardous waste program. This proposed rule relates
only to the immediate final rule to authorize the State's program
changes and not to the technical corrections to the 1993 Federal
Register.
For additional information, please see the immediate final rule
published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register.
