Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to authorize changes to Arizona's hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). These changes were outlined in an application to the EPA and correspond to certain Federal rules promulgated between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2020. The EPA reviewed Arizona's application and has determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization. Therefore, in the "Rules and Regulations" section of this Federal Register, we are authorizing Arizona for these changes as a direct final authorization without a prior proposed action. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed authorization.

Arizona: Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed action/decision/authorization.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
authorize changes to Arizona's hazardous waste program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). These changes were
outlined in an application to the EPA and correspond to certain Federal
rules promulgated between July 1, 2007 and June 30, 2020. The EPA
reviewed Arizona's application and has determined that these changes
satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization.
Therefore, in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register, we are authorizing Arizona for these changes as a direct
final authorization without a prior proposed action. If we receive no
adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed
authorization.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 28, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments to EPA, identified by Docket ID No.
EPA-R09-RCRA-2021-0431, at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>. Follow the
online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments
cannot be edited or removed from <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>. EPA may publish any
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video,
[[Page 53577]]
etc.) must be accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is
considered the official comment and should include discussion of all
points you wish to make. EPA will generally not consider comments or
comment contents located outside of the primary submission (i.e., on
the web, cloud, or other file sharing system). The <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> website is an ``anonymous access'' system, which
means 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 EPA without going through <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>, 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, EPA recommends that
you include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to
consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or
viruses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on
Arizona's changes to its hazardous waste management program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. We have
published a direct final action authorizing these changes in the
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register because we
view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse
comment. We have explained our reasons for this action in the preamble
to the direct final authorization.
If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rulemaking. If we receive adverse comment, we will
withdraw the direct final authorization and it will not take effect. We
would then address all public comments in a subsequent final action and
base any further decision on the authorization of the state program
changes after considering all comments received during the comment
period.
We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
For further information, please see the information provided in the
ADDRESSES section of this document.
Authority: This action is issued under the authority of sections
2002(a), 3006, and 7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act as
amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, and 6974(b).
Dated: September 1, 2021.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
