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 the Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) for final authorization of changes to its hazardous waste 
program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as 
amended. The EPA has reviewed North Carolina's application and has 
determined, subject to public comment, 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 North Carolina for these changes as a final action 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 14, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
RCRA-2024-0116, 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://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on 
North Carolina's changes to its hazardous waste management program 
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. We 
have published a final action 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 final 
action.
    If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action 
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw 
the final action and it will not take effect. We would then address all 
public comments in a subsequent final action 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, 2024.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
