Colorado: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Colorado has applied to EPA for final authorization of the 
changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation 
and Recovery Act (RCRA). The EPA proposes to grant final authorization 
to the hazardous waste program changes submitted by Colorado. In the 
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
authorizing the State's program changes 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 
to oppose them. We have explained the reasons for this authorization in 
the preamble to the immediate final rule. 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 
these actions, we will publish a document in the Federal Register 
withdrawing this rule before it takes effect. EPA will then address 
public comments in a later final rule based on this proposal. Any 
parties interested in commenting on these actions must do so at this 
time. EPA may not provide further opportunity for comment.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 11, 2008.

RCRA-2006-0382, by one of the following methods:

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov, or e-mail. The federal web site http://www.regulations.gov 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 http://www.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 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.
