    Florida: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
    Program Revisions

    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

    ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

    SUMMARY: Florida 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 Florida'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
    Florida 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 April 27, 2026.

    ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
    RCRA-2025-1577, 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.

    submit electronically or need other assistance, please contact Leah
    Davis, the contact listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on
    Florida'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 would
    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

    [[Page 14674]]

    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.
