Abstract
Florida 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 Florida'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 Florida 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.

Florida: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Florida 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 Florida'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
Florida 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
Florida'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
publish a withdrawal notification promptly in the Federal Register
informing the public that the final action will not take effect, or we
will publish a notification 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 In the event that the final action is withdrawn, we would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 and make a final decision on authorization
in a subsequent final action.
We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this
action. Any
[[Page 14674]]
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: March 9, 2026.

Regional Administrator.
