[EPA-R08-RCRA-2016-0131; FRL-9947-03-Region 8]
South Dakota: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program Revisions and Incorporation by Reference
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
grant authorization to the State of South Dakota for the changes to its
hazardous waste program under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended,
commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA). The EPA has determined that these changes satisfy all
requirements needed to qualify for final authorization, and is
authorizing the state's changes through a direct final action. In
addition, the EPA is proposing to codify in the regulations entitled
``Approved State Hazardous Waste Management Programs,'' South Dakota's
authorized hazardous waste program. The EPA will incorporate by
reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) those provisions
of the State regulations that are authorized and that the EPA will
enforce under RCRA.
DATES: Send written comments by July 25, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R08-
RCRA-2016-0131 by mail to Christina Cosentini, Resource Conservation
and Recovery Program, EPA Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Mail Code: 8P-
R, Denver, Colorado 80202. You may also submit comments electronically
or through 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: Christina Cosentini at (303) 312-6231,
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register, the EPA is authorizing changes to the South
Dakota program, in addition to codifying and incorporating by reference
the State's hazardous waste program as a direct final rule. The EPA did
not make a proposal prior to the direct final rule because we believe
these actions are not controversial and do not expect comments that
oppose them. We have explained the reasons for this authorization and
incorporation by reference in the preamble to the direct final rule.
Unless the EPA receives written comments that oppose the
authorization and incorporation by reference 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 the authorization, 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 must do so at this time.
Dated: May 11, 2016.

Regional Administrator, Region 8.
