Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to grant authorization to the State of Montana for the changes to its hazardous waste program under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The EPA has determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization, and is authorizing the State's changes through a direct final action which can be found in the "Rules and Regulations" section of this Federal Register. In addition, the EPA is proposing to codify in the regulations entitled "Approved State Hazardous Waste Management Programs," Montana's authorized hazardous waste program. The EPA will incorporate by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) those provisions of the State regulations that are authorized and that the EPA will enforce under RCRA.

Program Revisions and Incorporation by Reference
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
grant authorization to the State of Montana for the changes to its
hazardous waste program under the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended,
commonly referred to as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA). The EPA has determined that these changes satisfy all
requirements needed to qualify for final authorization, and is
authorizing the State's changes through a direct final action which can
be found in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register. In addition, the EPA is proposing to codify in the
regulations entitled ``Approved State Hazardous Waste Management
Programs,'' Montana's authorized hazardous waste program. The EPA will
incorporate by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
those provisions of the State regulations that are authorized and that
the EPA will enforce under RCRA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register, the EPA is authorizing changes to the Montana
program, in addition to codifying and incorporating by reference the
State's hazardous waste program as a direct final rule. The EPA did not
make a proposal prior to the direct final rule because we believe
[[Page 55430]]
these actions are not controversial and do not expect comments that
oppose them. We have explained the reasons for this authorization and
incorporation by reference in the preamble to the direct final rule.
Unless EPA receives written comments that oppose the authorization
and incorporation by reference during the comment period, the direct
final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and we
will not take further action on this proposal. If we get comments that
oppose the authorization, we will withdraw the direct final rule and it
will not take immediate effect. We 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
must do so at this time.
Dated: August 8, 2023.

Regional Administrator, Region 8.
