Abstract
Massachusetts has applied to the EPA for final authorization of revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. The EPA proposes to grant final authorization to Massachusetts for these revisions by a direct final rule, which can be found in the "Rules and Regulations" section of this issue of the Federal Register. We have explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the direct final rule. Unless the EPA receives written comments that oppose this authorization during the comment period, the direct final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and the EPA will not take further action on this proposal.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Massachusetts has applied to the EPA for final authorization
of revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. The EPA proposes to
grant final authorization to Massachusetts for these revisions by a
direct final rule, which can be found in the ``Rules and Regulations''
section of this issue of the Federal Register. We have explained the
reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the direct final
rule. Unless the EPA receives written comments that oppose this
authorization during the comment period, the direct final rule will
become effective on the date it establishes, and the EPA will not take
further action on this proposal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this issue of the Federal Register, the EPA is authorizing the
revisions by a direct final rule. The EPA did not make a proposal prior
to the direct final rule because we believe this action is not
controversial and do not expect comments that oppose it. We have
explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble of the
direct final rule. Unless the EPA receives adverse written comments
that oppose this authorization during the comment period, the direct
final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and the
EPA will not take further action on this proposal. If the EPA receives
comments that oppose this action, we will withdraw the direct final
rule, and it will not take effect. The EPA will then respond to public
comments in a later final rule based on this
[[Page 210]]
proposal. You may not have another opportunity for comment. If you want
to comment on this action, you must do so at this time. For additional
information, please see the direct final rule published in the ``Rules
and Regulations'' section of this issue of the Federal Register.
Authority: This proposed 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, 6974(b).
