Tennessee: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Tennessee has applied to EPA for final authorization of the 
changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to 
Tennessee. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register, 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 of 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 receive comments that oppose this action, we will withdraw 
the immediate final rule and it will not take effect. We will respond 
to public comments in a later final rule based on this proposal. You 
may not have another opportunity for comment.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 12, 2006.

RCRA-2006-0429 by one of the following methods:

restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to 
be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-

characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or 
viruses. (For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit
