[EPA–R02–RCRA–2006–0518; FRL–8278–1 

New York: Incorporation by Reference 

of State Hazardous Waste Management 

Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to revise 

the codification of New York’s 

authorized hazardous waste program 

which is set forth in the regulations 

entitled ‘‘Approved State Hazardous 

Waste Management Programs’’, New 

York’s authorized hazardous waste 

program. 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 the 

Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended 

and commonly referred to as the 

Resource Conservative and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). In the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register, the EPA is codifying and 

incorporating by reference the State’s 

hazardous waste program as an 

immediate final rule. EPA did not make 

a proposal prior to the immediate final 

rule because we believe these actions 

are not controversial and do not expect 

comments that oppose them. We have 

explained the reasons for this 

codification and incorporation by 

reference in the preamble to the 

immediate final rule. Unless we get 

written comments which oppose this 

incorporation by reference during the 

comment period, the immediate final 

rule will become effective on the date 

indicated, and we will not take further 

action on this proposal. If we get 

comments that oppose these actions, 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: Comments must be received on 

or before April 25, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R02–

RCRA–2006–0518, by one of the 

following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line 

instructions for submitting comments.

• Fax: (212) 637–3056.

Michael Infurna, Division of 

Environmental Planning and Protection, 

EPA, Region 2, 290 Broadway, 22nd 

Floor, New York, NY 10007. 

• Hand Delivery or Courier: Deliver 

your comments to Michael Infurna, 

Division of Environmental Planning and 

Protection, EPA, Region 2, 290 

Broadway, 22nd Floor, New York, NY 

10007. Such deliveries are only 

accepted during the Regional Office’s 

normal hours of operation. The public is 

advised to call in advance to verify the 

business hours. Special arrangements 

should be made for deliveries of boxed

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No. EPA–R02–RCRA–2006–

0518. EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or e-mail. The Federal 

www.regulations.gov Web site is an 

‘‘anonymous 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 send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through 

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 

about EPA’s public docket, visit the EPA 

Docket Center homepage at http:// 

www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm). 

Docket: All documents in the docket are 

listed in the www.regulations.gov index. 

Although listed in the index, some 

information is not publicly available, 

e.g., CBI or other information whose 

disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Certain other material, such as 

copyrighted material, will be publicly 

available on in hard copy. Publicly 

available docket materials are available 

either electronically in 

www.regulations.gov or in hard copy. 

You can inspect the records related to 

this codification effort in the EPA 

Region 2 Library by appointment only.
