Abstract
Tennessee has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for final authorization of changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. The EPA has reviewed Tennessee's application and has determined, subject to public comment, 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 Tennessee for these changes as a final action without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Tennessee has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency

under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended.
The EPA has reviewed Tennessee's application and has determined,
subject to public comment, 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
Tennessee for these changes as a final action without a prior proposed
rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on
Tennessee's changes to its hazardous waste management program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. We have
published a 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 final
action.
If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will either
withdraw the final action, or issue a notice containing a response to
comments that either reverses the decision or affirms that the final
action will take effect. In the event that the final action is
withdrawn, we would address all public comments in a subsequent final
action and make 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.
Dated: November 6, 2024.
Jeaneanne Gettle,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
