New York: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: New York has applied to EPA for Final authorization of changes 
to its hazardous waste program under Solid Waste Disposal Act, as 
amended, commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to New York for 
these changes which are described in the ``Rules and Regulations'' 
section of this Federal Register. In that section, EPA is authorizing 
the 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 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 either withdraw the immediate final rule, or the 
portion of the immediate final rule that is the subject of the 
comments. Only the remaining portion of the rule will take effect. We 
will then respond to those public comments opposing this authorization 
in a second final authorization notice. This second final notice may or 
may not include changes based on comments received during the public 
notice comment period. You may not have another opportunity for 
comment. If you want to comment on this action, you must do so at this 
time.

otherwise protected through regulations.gov, or e-mail. The Federal 
regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means 
EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you 
provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an e-mail comment 
directly to EPA without going through regulations.gov, your e-mail 
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the 
comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the 
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you 
include your name and other contact information in the body of your 
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your 
comment due to technical difficulties, and cannot contact you for 
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic 
files should avoid the use of special characters or any form of 
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
