ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 271
[EPA-R03-RCRA-2022-0280; FRL-9951-01-R3]
Delaware: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The State of Delaware has applied to Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) for final authorization of revisions to its hazardous
waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
By this action, EPA proposes to grant final authorization to Delaware.
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA
is authorizing the revisions by a direct final rule. EPA did not make a
proposal prior to the direct final rule 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
preamble to the direct final rule. Unless EPA receives written adverse
comments pertaining to this State revision during the comment period,
the direct final rule will become effective on the date it establishes,
and EPA will not take further action on this proposed rulemaking.
However, if EPA receives adverse comments pertaining to this State
revision, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register,
and this direct final rule will not take effect. EPA will then respond
to public comments in a later final rule based on this proposed
rulemaking. 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 January 6, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
RCRA-2022-0351, at www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions
for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or
removed from
[[Page 75021]]
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 the disclosure of which 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

electronic submittals, but if you are unable to submit electronically
or need other assistance, please contact Claudia Scott, the contact
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT provision below. Please
