Vermont: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Vermont has adopted the rule for the Project XL Site-Specific 
Rulemaking for the IBM Semiconductor Manufacturing Facility in Essex 
Junction, Vermont. This rule was published by the EPA on September 12, 
2000 (65 FR 59955). The State applied to EPA for Final authorization of 
the revision 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 change 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 
receive 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 receive 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 September 17, 2001.
