40 CFR Part 271
[EPA-R01-RCRA-2013-0554; FRL-9904-46-Region 1]
Vermont: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to grant final authorization to the State of
Vermont for changes to its hazardous waste program. In the ``Rules and
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register we are authorizing the
changes to the Vermont hazardous waste program under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as a direct final rule without
prior proposed rule. EPA has determined that these changes satisfy all
requirements needed to qualify for final authorization. If we receive
no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed
rule.
DATES: Written comments must be received by January 30, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R01-
RCRA-2013-0554, by mail to Sharon Leitch, RCRA Waste Management and UST
Section, Office of Site Remediation and Restoration (OSRR07-1), US EPA
Region 1, 5 Post Office Square, Suite 100, Boston, MA 02109-3912.

Comments may also be submitted electronically or thorough hand
delivery/courier by following the detailed instructions in the
ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule located in the rules section
of this Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon Leitch, RCRA Waste Management
and UST Section, Office of Site Remediation and Restoration (OSRR07-1),
US EPA Region 1, 5 Post Office Square, Suite 100, Boston, MA 02109-
3912; telephone number: (617) 918-1647; fax number: (617) 918-0647;
email address: [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing these changes by a direct
final rule. EPA did not make a proposal prior to the direct 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 direct final rule. Unless we
receive written adverse comments which oppose this authorization during
the comment period, the direct 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 direct final rule and it will not take immediate 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 should do so at this time.
Dated: November 5, 2013.

Regional Administrator, EPA Region 1.
