North Carolina: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: North Carolina 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 North Carolina. 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. EPA has 
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 EPA receives comments that oppose this action, 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 your written comments by March 9, 2011.
