40 CFR Part 271

[FRL-7885-6]


Georgia: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Managaement 
Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Immediate final rule; reopening of comment period and stay of 
effective date.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is announcing a stay of the immediate final rule 
published in the Federal Register of January 27, 2005 (70 FR 3894), 
authorizing revisions to Georgia's hazardous waste management program 
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and the 
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). The effect of the 
stay is to allow for an extended public comment period. EPA did not 
publish a public notice in the newspaper concurrent with publication of 
the Federal Register notice published on January 27, 2005. Therefore, 
since EPA is committed to its policy of ensuring public involvement in 
the decision-making process, EPA is reopening the comment period.

DATES: Effective February 24, 2005, the immediate final rule published 
on January 27, 2005 (70 FR 3894), is stayed until April 20, 2005. EPA 
will accept comments until March 20, 2005. If no adverse comments are 
received by March 20, 2005, the stay will expire, and the January 27, 
2005, immediate final rule will take effect without further notice on 
April 20, 2005.
