ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 271

[FRL–7825–7] 

Florida: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: Florida has applied to 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 Florida. In the ‘‘Rules 

and Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is authorizing the changes 

by an immediate final rule. 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. We have 

explained the reasons for this 

authorization in the preamble to the 

immediate final rule. 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.
