[EPA–R08–RCRA–2009–0341; FRL–8940–9] 

Colorado: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The state of Colorado has 

applied to EPA for final authorization of 

changes to its hazardous waste program 

under the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to 

grant final authorization to the 

hazardous waste program changes 

submitted by the state of Colorado. In 

the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of 

this Federal Register, EPA is 

authorizing the changes in an 

immediate final rule. EPA did not 

propose the rule prior to issuing the 

immediate final rule because the 

Agency believes this action is not 

controversial and does not expect 

comments that oppose it. We have 

explained the reasons for this 

authorization in the preamble to the 

immediate final rule. Unless we receive 

written comments that oppose this 

authorization during the comment 

period, the immediate final rule will 

become effective on the date it 

establishes, and EPA will not take 

further action on this proposal. If the 

Agency receives comments that oppose 

this action, EPA will publish a 

document in the Federal Register 

withdrawing this rule before it takes 

effect. EPA will then address public 

comments in a later final rule based on 

this proposal. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action must do so 

at this time. EPA may not provide 

further opportunity for comment. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 11, 2009.

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information, 

the disclosure of which is restricted by 

statute. Do not submit information that 

you consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, or e-mail. The 

federal Web site http://

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity or contact 

information unless you provide it in the 

body of your comment. If you e-mail 

your comment directly to EPA rather 

than going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov, your e-mail 

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, 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 EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties, and cannot 

contact you for clarification, EPA may 

not be able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters or any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. For additional information
