We have explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the direct final rule. Unless 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 proposed rule.

New Hampshire: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: New Hampshire has applied to the Environmental Protection
Agency (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 New
Hampshire for these revisions by a direct final rule, which can be
found in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register. We have explained the reasons for this authorization in the
preamble to the direct final rule. Unless 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 proposed rule.

RCRA-2023-0264, at <a href="https://www.regulations.gov/">https://www.regulations.gov/</a>. Follow the online

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this 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 to 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 proposal. You may not have another opportunity for comment. If you
want to comment on this action, you should do so at this time. For
additional information, please see the direct final rule published in
the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 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).
Dated: August 8, 2023.

Regional Administrator, U.S. EPA Region 1.
