Mississippi: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Mississippi 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 Mississippi'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 
Mississippi 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 June 23, 2025.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
RCRA-2024-0289, 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 
Mississippi'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 either 
publish a withdrawal notification promptly in the Federal Register 
informing the public that the final action will not take effect, or we 
will publish a notification containing a response to comments that 
either reverses the decision or affirms that the final action will take 
effect. In the event that the final action is withdrawn, we will 
address all public comments and make a final decision on authorization 
in a subsequent final action.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
