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
changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA). These changes correspond to certain Federal
rules promulgated between July 1, 2004, and June 30, 2008 (also known
as RCRA Clusters XV through XVIII). With this proposed rule, EPA is
proposing to grant final authorization to North Carolina for these
changes. Along with this proposed rule, EPA is publishing an immediate
final rule in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal
Register pursuant to which EPA is authorizing these changes. EPA did
not issue a proposed rule before today because EPA believes this action
is not controversial and does not expect comments that oppose it. EPA
has explained the reasons for this authorization in the immediate final
rule. Unless EPA receives written comments that oppose this
authorization during the comment period, the immediate final rule in
today's Federal Register will become effective on the date it
establishes, and EPA will not take further action on this proposal. If
EPA receives comments that oppose this action, EPA will withdraw the
immediate final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will then respond
to public comments in a later final rule based on this proposed rule.
You may not have another opportunity to comment on these State program
changes. If you want to comment on this action, you must do so at this
time.

encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses. (For additional
