New York: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: New York has applied to EPA for final authorization of changes 
to its hazardous waste program under Solid Waste Disposal Act, as 
amended, commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to New York for 
these changes which are described in the ``Rules and Regulations'' 
section of this Federal Register. In that section, 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 portion of the immediate final rule that 
is the subject of the comments, and it will not take effect. We will 
then respond to those public comments opposing this authorization in a 
second final authorization notice. This second final notice may or may 
not include changes based on comments received during the public notice 
comment period. 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 December 17, 2001.
