40 CFR Part 271

[EPA-R04-RCRA-2022-0395; FRL-9794-01-R4]


Tennessee: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
authorize changes to Tennessee's hazardous waste program under the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). These changes were 
outlined in an application to the EPA and correspond to certain Federal 
rules promulgated between January 1, 1983 and June 30, 2021. The EPA 
reviewed Tennessee's application and has determined that these changes 
satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization. 
Therefore, in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register, we are authorizing Tennessee for these changes as a direct 
final rule without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no adverse 
comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 12, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
RCRA-2022-0395, at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from www.regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on 
Tennessee's changes to its hazardous waste management program under the 
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. We have 
published a direct final rule authorizing these changes in the ``Rules 
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register because we view this 
as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have 
explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the direct 
final rule.
    If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action 
on this proposed rule. If we receive an adverse comment, we will 
withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. We would 
then address all public comments in a subsequent final rule and base 
any further decision on the authorization of the State program changes 
after considering all comments received during the comment period.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. 
For further information, please see the information provided in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document.

    Dated: June 28, 2022.

Regional Administrator, Region 4.
