Delaware: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of Immediate Final Rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing the immediate final rule for Delaware: 
Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program 
Revision published on February 27, 2002, which authorized changes to 
Delaware's hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA stated in the immediate final rule that if EPA 
received written comments that oppose this authorization during the 
comment period, EPA would publish a timely notice of withdrawal in the 
Federal Register. Since EPA did receive comments that oppose this 
authorization, EPA is withdrawing the immediate final rule. EPA will 
address these comments in a subsequent final action based on the 
proposed rule also published on February 27, 2002, at 67 FR 8925.

DATES: As of April 25, 2002, EPA withdraws the immediate final rule 
published on February 27, 2002, at 67 FR 8900.

State Programs Branch, U.S. EPA Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 
Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029, Phone number: (215) 814-5454.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because EPA received written comments that 
oppose this authorization, EPA is withdrawing the immediate final rule 
for Delaware: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revision published on February 27, 2002, at 67 FR 8900, which 
authorized changes to Delaware's hazardous waste rules. EPA stated in 
the immediate final rule that if EPA received written comments that 
oppose this authorization during the comment period, EPA would publish 
a timely notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register. Since EPA 
received comments that oppose this action, today EPA is withdrawing the 
immediate final rule. EPA will address the comments received during the 
comment period in a subsequent final action based on the proposed rule 
also published on February 27, 2002. EPA will not provide for 
additional public comment during the final action.
