Delaware and Maryland: Adequacy of State Solid Waste Landfill 
Permit Programs Under RCRA Subtitle D

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This document proposes to approve Delaware's and Maryland's 
solid waste regulations which ensure that hazardous waste from 
conditionally exempt small quantity generators (CESQGs) will only be 
disposed of in accordance with EPA regulations. In the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving 
Delaware's and Maryland's regulations by an Immediate Final Rule. EPA 
did not make a proposal prior to the

[[Page 17381]]

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 approval in the preamble to the 
Immediate Final Rule. Unless we receive written comments which oppose 
this approval 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 receive 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 will 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 May 3, 2004.
