40 CFR Part 271

[FRL-7977-3]


Montana: 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 Montana. 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 is 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 31, 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 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or information that should be 
otherwise protected from disclosure 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.
