40 CFR Parts 271
[EPA-R06-RCRA-2015-0109; FRL-9935-99-Region 6]
Texas: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The State of Texas has applied to the Environmental Protection
Agency (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 the State of Texas. In the
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is
authorizing the changes by 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 comments that oppose it. We have
explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the
direct final rule. Unless we get written comments which oppose this
authorization during the comment period, the direct final rule will
become effective 60 days after publication and we will not take further
action on this proposal. If we receive comments that oppose this
action, we will withdraw the direct 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.
DATES: Send your written comments by November 20, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit any comments identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R06-
RCRA-2015-0109 by one of the following methods:

Instructions: Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI
or otherwise protected through regulations.gov, or email. Direct your
comment to Docket No. EPA-R06-RCRA-2015-0070. The Federal

the EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email comment
directly to the EPA without going through regulations.gov, your email
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the
comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, the EPA recommends that
you include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If the EPA cannot read
your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, the EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
