Hazardous Waste Management Program: Final Authorization of State
Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions for State of Oklahoma

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule and request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The State of Oklahoma has applied for Final authorization of
the changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), portions of Cluster VIII, and
entire Cluster IX which contains Federal rules promulgated from July 1,
1998, to June 30, 1999. The EPA proposes to grant final authorization
to the State of Oklahoma. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing the changes by an immediate
final rule. The EPA did not make a proposal prior to the immediate
final rule because we believe this action is not controversial and do
not expect comments that oppose it. EPA have explained the reasons for
this authorization in the preamble to the immediate final rule. If EPA
does not receive adverse written comments, the immediate final rule
will become effective and the Agency will not take further action on
this proposal. If EPA receives adverse written comments, second Federal
Register document will be published before the time the immediate final
rule takes effect. The second document may withdraw the immediate final
rule before it takes effect and a separate document in the proposed
rules section of this Federal Register will serve as a proposal to
authorize the changes or the document may identify the issues raised,
respond to comments, and affirm that the immediate final rule will take
effect March 5, 2001. Unless we get written comments which oppose this
authorization during the comment period, the immediate 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 this
action, we will withdraw the immediate final rule and it will not take
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.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before February 1, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to Alima Patterson, Region 6, Regional
Authorization Coordinator, Grants and Authorization Section (6PD-G),
