Hazardous Waste Management Program: Final Authorization of State 
Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions for State of Oklahoma

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule and request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA (also, ``the Agency'' in this preamble) proposes to 
grant final authorization to the hazardous waste program revisions 
submitted by the State of Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality 
(ODEQ) for its hazardous waste program revisions, specifically, 
revisions needed to meet the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act 
(RCRA) Cluster VII rules which contains Federal rules promulgated 
between July 1, 1996 through June 30, 1997. The RCRA Cluster VII rules 
are listed in the rules section of this Federal Register (FR). In the 
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this FR, EPA is authorizing the 
State's program revisions as an immediate final rule without prior 
proposal because the 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 
the 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 the EPA receives adverse written comments,

[[Page 16558]]

a second Federal Register document will be published before the time 
the immediate final rule takes effect. The second document may withdraw 
the immediate final rule or identify the issues raised, respond to the 
comments and affirm that the immediate final rule will take effect as 
scheduled. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should 
do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before April 28, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to Alima Patterson, Region 6, Regional 
Authorization Coordinator, Grants and Authorization Section (6PD-G), 
Multimedia Planning and Permitting Division, at the address shown
