Missouri: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Missouri has applied to EPA for final authorization of the 
changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to 
Missouri. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is authorizing the changes by an immediate final rule. 
EPA did not make a proposal prior to the immediate final rule because 
we believe this action is not controversial and do not expect opposing 
comments. We have explained the reasons for this authorization in the 
preamble to the immediate final rule. Unless we get written comments 
which oppose this authorization during the comment period, the 
immediate final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, 
and we will not take further action on this proposal. If we get 
comments that oppose this action, we will withdraw the immediate final 
rule and it will not take effect. We will then respond to public 
comments in a later final rule based on this proposal. You may not have 
another opportunity for comment. If you want to comment on this action, 
you must do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before March 29, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Heather Hamilton, U.S. EPA Region 
VII, ARTD/RESP, 901 N. 5th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101; (913) 
551-7039. Copies of the Missouri program revision applications and the 
materials which EPA used in evaluating the revisions are available for 
inspection and copying during normal business hours at the following 
address: Hazardous Waste Program, Missouri Department of Natural 
Resources, P.O. Box 176, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102-0176; (573) 
751-3176.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Heather Hamilton, U.S. EPA Region VII, 
ARTD/RESP, 901 N. 5th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101; (913) 551-
7039.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information see the immediate 
final rule published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register.

    Dated: February 17, 2000.
