Maine: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Maine has applied to EPA for Final authorization of changes to 
its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to 
Maine. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is authorizing these 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 adverse 
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 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 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 9, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to Sharon Leitch, 
Hazardous Waste Unit, EPA Region 1, One Congress St., Suite 1100 (CHW), 
Boston, MA 02114-2023, or e-mailed to: [email protected].
