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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to codify in the regulations entitled 
``Approved State Hazardous Waste Management Programs,'' New Mexico's 
authorized hazardous waste program. The EPA will incorporate by 
reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) those provisions 
of the State regulations that are authorized and that the EPA will 
enforce under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, commonly referred to as the 
Resource Conversation 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. The 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 it establishes, 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: Send written comments by November 28, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Alima Patterson, Region 6 Regional 
Authorization Coordinator, State/Tribal Oversight Section (6PD-O), 
Multimedia Planning and Permitting Division, EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross
