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

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 Texas for its hazardous waste program 
revisions, specifically, revisions needed to meet the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) Cluster VI, which contains Federal 
rules promulgated between July 1, 1995 to June 30, 1996. In the ``Rules 
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register (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, 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 August 14, 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 
below. You can examine copies of the materials submitted by the State 
of Texas during normal business hours at the following locations: EPA

immediate final rule published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section
