NOTICE: PROPOSED RULES

ACTION: Hazardous waste program authorizations:

DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUBJECT CATEGORY: Maine: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions

DATES: Send your written comments by December 9, 2004.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: Maine has applied to EPA for Final authorization of changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to Maine. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing these changes by an immediate final rule. EPA did not make a proposal prior to the immediate final rule because we believe this action is not controversial and do not expect adverse comments that oppose it. We have explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the immediate final rule. Unless we get written comments which oppose this authorization during the comment period, the immediate final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and we will not take further action on this proposal. If we get comments that oppose this action, we will withdraw the immediate final rule and it will not take effect. We 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 must do so at this time.

SUMMARY: Maine,


SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
