North Dakota: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to grant Final authorization to the hazardous 
waste program changes submitted by North Dakota. In the ``Rules'' 
section of this Federal Register, we are authorizing the State's 
program changes as an immediate final rule without a prior proposed 
rule because we believe this action as not controversial. Unless we get 
written comments opposing this authorization during the comment period, 
the immediate final rule will become effective and the Agency will not 
take further action on this proposal. If we receive comments that 
oppose this action, we will publish a document in the Federal Register 
withdrawing this rule before it takes effect. EPA will address public 
comments in a later final rule based on this proposal. EPA may not 
provide further opportunity for comment. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this action must do so at this time.

DATES: We must receive your comments by October 26, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments by one of the following methods: 1. 
Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-
line instructions for submitting comments. 2. E-mail: 
[email protected]. 3. Mail: Kris Shurr, 8P-HW, U.S. EPA, Region 8, 999

    Instructions: Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI 
or 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, any form of 
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
