Louisiana: Final Authorization of StateInitiated Changes and Incorporation by 

Reference of State Hazardous Waste 

Management Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: During a review of 

Louisiana’s regulations, the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

identified a variety of State-initiated 

changes to Louisiana’s hazardous waste 

program under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 

as amended, for which the State had not 

previously sought authorization. EPA 

proposes to authorize the State for the 

program changes. In addition, EPA 

proposes to codify in the regulations 

entitled ‘‘Approved State Hazardous 

Waste Management Programs’’, 

Louisiana’s authorized hazardous waste 

program. The EPA will incorporate by 

reference into the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) those provisions of 

the State regulations that are authorized 

and that EPA will enforce under RCRA. 

DATES: Send written comments by 

November 21, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit any comments 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R06–

Instructions: Do not submit 

information that you consider to be 

Confidential Business Information (CBI) 

or otherwise protected through 

regulations.gov, or email. Direct your 

comments to Docket ID No. EPA–R06– 

RCRA–2015–0664. The Federal 

regulations.gov Web site is an

means the EPA will not know your

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to the EPA without 

going through regulations.gov, your 

email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, the EPA recommends that 

you include your name and other 

contact information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If the EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

the EPA may not be able to consider 

your comment. Electronic files should 

avoid the use of special characters, any 

form of encryption, and be free of any 

defects or viruses. You can view and

for this authorization and codification 

and associated publicly available 

materials from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For 

additional information, please see the 

direct final rule published in the ‘‘Rules 

and Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register. 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. 

The purpose of this Federal Register 

document is to codify Louisiana’s base 

hazardous waste management program 

and its revisions to that program 

through RCRA Clusters XXI, XXII 

including RCRA Cluster XXIII Checklist 

229 Exclusions for Solvent 

Contaminated Wipes. (See 80 FR 55032)

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 204 / Friday, October 21, 2016 / Proposed Rules 72759 

notices and opportunity for comments 

on the Agency’s decisions to authorize 

the Louisiana program, and the EPA is 

not now reopening the decisions, nor 

requesting comments, on the Louisiana 

authorizations as published in FR 

notices specified in Section I.F of the 

direct final rule FR document. 

This document incorporates by 

reference Louisiana’s hazardous waste 

statutes and regulations and clarifies 

which of these provisions are included 

in the authorized and federally 

enforceable program. By codifying 

Louisiana’s authorized program and by 

amending the Code of Federal 

Regulations, the public will be more 

easily able to discern the status of 

federally approved requirements of the 

Louisiana’s hazardous waste 

management program. 

Authority: This action is issued under the 

authority of sections 2002(a), 3006, and 

7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as 

amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, and 

6974(b).

Revisions to Hatchery Programs 

Included as Part of Pacific Salmon and 

Steelhead Species Listed Under the 

Endangered Species Act 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: We, NMFS, announce 

proposed revisions to the Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) to update the 

descriptions of Pacific salmon and 

steelhead (Oncorhynchus spp.) species 

currently listed as threatened or 

endangered under the Endangered 

Species Act of 1973 (ESA). Revisions 

include the addition or removal of 

specific hatchery programs, as well as 

clarifying changes to the names of 

specific hatchery programs included as 

part of the listings of certain Pacific 

salmon and steelhead species. These 

proposed changes are informed by our 

recently completed 5-year reviews 

under ESA. We do not propose to 

change the ESA-listing status of any 

species under NMFS’ jurisdiction, or 

modify any critical habitat designation.
