Vermont: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Vermont has applied to EPA for final authorization of certain 
changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to 
Vermont. 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 comments 
that oppose it. 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: Send your written comments by November 27, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In addition to proposing the authorization 
for changes to Vermont's hazardous waste program, EPA is making a 
technical correction to provisions referenced in its immediate final 
rule published in the Federal Register on May 3, 1003 (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.
