value below which numeric noncarcinogen and carcinogen human 

health criteria can be exceeded that is 

less stringent than the harmonic mean 

flow for waters suitable for the 

establishment of low flow return 

frequencies (i.e., streams and rivers). 

Harmonic mean flow is a long-term 

mean flow value calculated by dividing 

the number of daily flows analyzed by 

the sum of the reciprocals of those daily 

flows. 

(iii) If the state does not have such a 

low flow value for numeric criteria, then 

none will apply and the criteria in 

paragraph (b) of this section herein 

apply at all flows.

Louisiana: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The State of Louisiana has 

applied to the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) for Final authorization of 

the changes to its hazardous waste 

program under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

EPA proposes to grant Final 

authorization to the State of Louisiana. 

In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section 

of this Federal Register, EPA is 

authorizing the changes by direct final 

rule. 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 

we get written comments which oppose 

this authorization during the comment 

period, the direct final rule will become 

effective 60 days after publication and 

we will not take further action on this 

proposal. If we receive comments that 

oppose this action, we will withdraw 

the direct 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.
