Florida: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Immediate final rule; extension of comment period and effective 
date.

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

SUMMARY: On September 18, 2000 (65 FR 56256), EPA published an action 
to grant Florida final authorization for several changes to its 
hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA). One of the changes was the authorization of Florida for the 
February 16, 1993, Corrective Action Management Unit (CAMU) rule. With 
this action, EPA is extending the comment period and effective date for 
the authorization of Florida for the CAMU rule to provide additional 
information to the public.

DATES: This final authorization will become effective on March 5, 2001 
unless EPA receives adverse written comment by February 1, 2001. If EPA 
receives such comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal of this 
immediate final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public that 
this authorization will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Narindar Kumar, Chief, RCRA 
Programs Branch, Waste Management Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street, SW 
Atlanta, GA, 30303-8960; (404) 562-8440. We must receive your comments 
by February 1, 2001. You can view and copy Florida's application from 8 
a.m. to 3:45 p.m. at the EPA Region 4 Library, The Sam Nunn Atlanta 
Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8960, 
Phone number (404) 562-8190, Kathy Piselli, Librarian.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Narindar Kumar, Chief, RCRA Programs 
Branch, Waste Management Division, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street, SW Atlanta, GA, 
30303-8960; (404) 562-8440.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As a result of the September 18, 2000, 
Notice to grant final authorization to Florida (see 65 FR 56256) for 
the February 16, 1993, Corrective Action Management Unit (CAMU) rule, 
the State will be eligible for interim authorization-by-rule for the 
proposed amendments to the CAMU rule, published on August 22, 2000, at 
65 FR 51080. Florida will also become eligible for conditional 
authorization if that alternative is chosen by EPA in the final CAMU 
amendments rule. This extension of the comment period and effective 
date only applies to the authorization of Florida for the CAMU rule, 
and not the other rules contained in the September 18, 2000, Federal 
Register.

    Authority: This action is issued under the authority of sections 
2002(a), 3006 and 7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act as amended 
42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, 6974(b).

    Dated: December 1, 2000.
Michael V. Peyton,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
