[EPA-R06-RCRA 2015-0070; FRL-9933-78-Region 6]


Louisiana: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The State of Louisiana has applied to the Environmental 
Protection Agency (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 the State of 
Louisiana. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is authorizing the changes by direct final rule. EPA did 
not make a proposal prior to the direct final rule because we believe 
this action is not controversial and do not expect comments that oppose 
it. We have explained the reasons for this authorization in the 
preamble to the direct final rule. Unless we get written comments which 
oppose this authorization during the comment period, the direct final 
rule will become effective 60 days after publication and we will not 
take further action on this proposal. If we receive comments that 
oppose this action, we will withdraw the direct 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 October 14, 2015.
