[EPA-R01-RCRA-2023-0264; FRL-11231-01-R1]


New Hampshire: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: New Hampshire has applied to the Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) for final authorization of revisions to its hazardous 
waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 
as amended. The EPA proposes to grant final authorization to New 
Hampshire for these revisions by a direct final rule, which can be 
found in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register. We have explained the reasons for this authorization in the 
preamble to the direct final rule. Unless EPA receives written comments 
that oppose this authorization during the comment period, the direct 
final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and the 
EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule.

DATES: Send your written comments by September 14, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R01-
RCRA-2023-0264, 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 https://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

and Lead Branch; Land, Chemicals and Redevelopment Division; EPA Region 
1, 5 Post Office Square, Suite 100 (Mail code 07-1), Boston, MA 02109-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, the EPA is authorizing the revisions by a direct 
final rule. The 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 the EPA 
receives adverse written comments that oppose this authorization during 
the comment period, the direct final rule will become effective on the 
date it establishes, and the EPA will not take further action on this 
proposal. If the EPA receives comments that oppose this action, we will 
withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. The EPA 
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 should do so at this time. For 
additional information, please see the direct final rule published in 
the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.

    Authority: This proposed action is issued under the authority of 
sections 2002(a), 3006 and 7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, 
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, 6974(b).

    Dated: August 8, 2023.

Regional Administrator, U.S. EPA Region 1.
