[FRL-7051-1]


District of Columbia: Final Authorization of State Hazardous 
Waste Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The District of Columbia has applied to EPA for Final 
authorization of changes to its hazardous waste program under the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant 
such Final authorization to the District of Columbia. 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 we 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 October 10, 2001.
