[FRL-6161-6]


Georgia: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to grant final authorization to the hazardous 
waste program revisions submitted by Georgia. In the final rules 
section of this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing the State's 
program revisions as an immediate final rule without prior proposal 
because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the authorization is set 
forth in the immediate final rule. If no adverse written comments are 
received on this action, the immediate final rule will become effective 
and no further activity will occur in relation to this proposal. If EPA 
receives adverse written comments, EPA will withdraw the immediate 
final rule before its effective date by publishing a notice of 
withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA will then respond to public 
comments in a later final rule based on this proposal. EPA may not 
provide further opportunity for comment. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments on the immediate final rule must be received on 
or before October 19, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to: Patricia Herbert, Chief, RCRA 
Service Section, RCRA Programs Branch, Waste Management Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 61 Forsyth Street, Atlanta, Georgia 
30303; (404) 562-8449.
