[EPA-R04-RCRA-2012-0124; FRL-9735-1]
Tennessee: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Tennessee has applied to EPA for final authorization of the
changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final authorization to
Tennessee. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register, EPA is authorizing the changes by an immediate final rule.
EPA did not issue a proposed rule prior to the immediate final rule
because we believe this action is not controversial and do not expect
comments that oppose it. EPA has 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 it establishes, and we will not take further action on this
proposal. If EPA receives comments that oppose this action, we will
withdraw the immediate final rule and it will not take effect. EPA 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.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 5, 2012.
