New York: Incorporation by Reference of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to revise the codification of New York's 
authorized hazardous waste program which is set forth in the 
regulations entitled ``Approved State Hazardous Waste Management 
Programs'', New York's authorized hazardous waste program. EPA will 
incorporate by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 
those provisions of the State regulations that are authorized and that 
EPA will enforce under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended and 
commonly referred to as the Resource Conservative and Recovery Act 
(RCRA). In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register, the EPA is codifying and incorporating by reference the 
State's hazardous waste program as an immediate final rule. EPA did not 
make a proposal prior to the immediate final rule because we believe 
these actions are not controversial and do not expect comments that 
oppose them. We have explained the reasons for this codification and 
incorporation by reference in the preamble to the immediate final rule. 
Unless we get written comments which oppose this incorporation by 
reference during the comment period, the immediate final rule will 
become effective on the date indicated, and we will not take further 
action on this proposal. If we get comments that oppose these actions, 
we will withdraw the immediate final rule and it will not take effect. 
We will then respond to public comments in a later final rule based on 
this proposal. You may not have another opportunity for comment. If you 
want to comment on this action, you must do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 25, 2007.

consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov

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. (For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit 
the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm). Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such 
as copyrighted material, will be publicly available on in hard copy. 
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically
