Due to adverse comment received and the passage of Senate File 147 (SF 147), we are reevaluating the State's program to ensure that it meets the requirements for authorization of a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste program. DATES: Written comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before July 22, 1999. If there is sufficient public interest, a public hearing will be held no earlier than June 22, 1999. Requests to present testimony at a hearing must be received on or before June 7, 1999.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are reopening the public comment period for the proposed rule published at 46 FR 09295 on February 25, 1999, which proposed to grant final authorization for the first revision to Wyoming's Hazardous Waste Rules. The previous public comment period for this proposed rule closed on March 29, 1999. Due to the adverse comment received and the passage of SF 147, we are asking for additional comments. SF 147 modifies the corrective action requirements and provides for ``innocent owner'' exemptions from environmental liability. We are inviting the public to provide comments. In addition, if there is sufficient interest, we will hold a public hearing to accept verbal and/or written comments. Anyone wishing to present testimony must send us a request using the information provided in the DATES and ADDRESSES sections of this notice. All comments and testimony will be addressed in a subsequent final action. Dated: April 16, 1999. William P. Yellowtail, Regional Administrator, Region VIII.
