Hazardous Waste Management Program: Final Authorization of State 
Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions for State of Oklahoma

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule and request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA (also ``the Agency'' in this preamble) is proposing to 
grant final authorization to the State of Oklahoma Department of 
Environmental Quality (ODEQ) for its hazardous waste program revisions, 
specifically, revisions needed to meet the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA), Cluster X which contains Federal rules promulgated 
from July 1, 1999, to June 30, 2000. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' 
section of this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing the revisions as 
an immediate final rule without prior proposal because the EPA views 
this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. 
The Agency has explained the reasons for this authorization in the 
preamble to the immediate final rule. If EPA does not receive adverse 
written comments, the immediate final rule will become effective and 
the Agency will not take further action on this proposal. If EPA 
receives adverse written comments, a second Federal Register document 
will be published before the time the immediate final rule takes 
effect. The second document may withdraw the immediate final rule or 
identify the issues raised, respond to the comments and affirm that the 
immediate final rule will take effect as scheduled. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 9, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to Alima Patterson, Region 6, Regional 
Authorization Coordinator, Grants and Authorization Section (6PD-G), 
Multimedia Planning and Permitting Division, at the address shown 
below. You can examine copies of the materials
