Abstract
Pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to take direct final action to approve revisions to the State of Nevada's Underground Storage Tank (UST) program since the previous authorization on July 17, 1998. This action is based on the EPA's determination that these revisions satisfy all requirements needed for program approval. In the "Rules and Regulations" section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the changes by direct final authorization because we believe this action is not controversial and do not expect comments that oppose it.

Nevada
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed action.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as
amended, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to take
direct final action to approve revisions to the State of Nevada's
Underground Storage Tank (UST) program since the previous authorization
on July 17, 1998. This action is based on the EPA's determination that
these revisions satisfy all requirements needed for program approval.
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, the
EPA is approving the changes by direct final authorization because we
believe this action is not controversial and do not expect comments
that oppose it.
DATES: Send written comments by November 1, 2021.
ADDRESSES: Submit any comments, identified by EPA-R09-UST-2021-0597, by
one of the following methods:

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R09-UST-

the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted
by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or
otherwise protected through <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>, or email. The
Federal <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a> website is an ``anonymous access''
system, which means 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 <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, 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. Electronic files should avoid the use
of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any
defects or viruses.
The EPA encourages electronic submittals, but if you are unable to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's UST program
submittal as a direct authorization without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in
the direct final authorization. If no relevant adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no further activity is
contemplated. If the EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct
final authorization will be withdrawn, and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final authorization based on this
proposed authorization. The EPA will not institute a second comment
period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do
so at this time. For additional information, see the direct final
authorization published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register.
Authority: This proposed authorization is issued under the
authority of sections 2002(a), 9004, and 7004(b) of the Solid Waste
Disposal Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912, 6991c, 6991d, and 6991e.
Dated: September 19, 2021.

Acting Regional Administrator, EPA Region 9.
