Utah: Final Authorization of State-Initiated Changes and 
Incorporation by Reference of Approved State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: During a review of Utah's regulations, EPA identified a 
variety of State-initiated changes to Utah's hazardous waste program 
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). We propose to 
grant Final authorization to Utah for these changes. In addition, EPA 
is proposing to codify, in the section of the Code of Federal 
Regulation (CFR) entitled Approved State Hazardous Waste Management 
Programs, Utah's authorized hazardous waste program. We will 
incorporate by reference those provisions of the State regulations that 
are authorized and federally enforceable. In the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we are authorizing the 
changes to the Utah program and codifying and incorporating by 
reference the State's hazardous waste program as an Immediate Final 
Rule. We did not make a proposal prior to the Immediate Final Rule 
because we believe this action is noncontroversial and do not expect 
comments that oppose it. We have explained the reasons for this 
authorization and incorporation by reference in the preamble to the 
Immediate Final Rule. Unless we get written comments which oppose this 
authorization and incorporation by reference during the comment period, 
the Immediate Final Rule will become effective on the date established 
in the Final rule 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. If you 
want to comment on this action, you must do so at this time, since you 
may not have another opportunity for comment.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before December 26, 
2001.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to Kris Shurr, 8P-HW, U.S. EPA, Region 
VIII, 999 18th St., Suite 300, Denver, Colorado 80202-2466, phone (303)
