FRL ID: [FRL-7412-7]
NOTICE: PROPOSED RULES
ACTION: Hazardous waste program authorizations:
DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUBJECT CATEGORY: New Jersey: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Program Revision
DATES: Comments on this action must be received by the close of business on January 15, 2003.
DOCUMENT SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq. (``RCRA''), and the regulations
thereunder, the State of New Jersey (the ``State'') applied for final
authorization of changes to its hazardous waste program. These
revisions were adopted by the State in January 1999. The Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 2 (``EPA'') has reviewed the State's
application and has determined that the State's revisions to its
hazardous waste program satisfy all of the requirements necessary to
qualify for final authorization. Accordingly, EPA proposes to grant
final authorization to the State for these revisions, which are
described in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal
Register. In that section, EPA is authorizing the revisions by an
immediate final rule. EPA did not publish a proposal prior to the
immediate final rule because EPA believes that this action is not
controversial and does not expect comments that oppose it. EPA has [[Page 77011]]
explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the
immediate final rule. Unless EPA receives written comments which oppose
this authorization during the comment period, the immediate final rule
will become effective on the date set forth therein, and EPA will not
take further action on this proposal. If EPA receives comments that
oppose this action, EPA shall withdraw the portion of the immediate
final rule that is the subject of the comments, and it will not take effect.
EPA shall then respond to those public comments opposing this authorization in a second final authorization notice. This second final notice may or may not include changes based on comments received during the comment period. Interested persons may not have another opportunity for comment. Therefore, if you want to comment on this proposal, you must do so at this time.
SUMMARY: New Jersey,
