**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register , EPA is approving the State’s State Plan revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to the direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse
comment.

**SUMMARY :**  The State of Texas 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).

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 on the date it establishes, 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.

**DATES :**  Send your written comments by October 3, 2014.

**Endangered and Threatened Wildlife; 90-Day Finding on a Petition To List**  **Seven Indo-Pacific Species of Pomacentrid Reef Fish as Threatened**  **or Endangered Under the Endangered Species Act** 

**AGENCY :**  National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Department of Commerce.

**ACTION :**  Notice of 90-day petition finding, request for information.

**SUMMARY :**  We (NMFS) announce a 90- day finding on seven Indo-Pacific species included in a petition to list eight species of pomacentrid reef fish as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). These are the orange clownfish (Amphiprion percula ) and six other damselfishes: The Hawaiian dascyllus ( Dascyllus albisella ), blue-eyed damselfish ( Plectroglyphidodon johnstonianus ), black-axil chromis ( Chromis atripectoralis ), blue-green damselfish ( Chromis viridis ), reticulated damselfish ( Dascyllus reticulatus ), and blackbar devil or Dick’s damselfish ( Plectroglyphidodon dickii). Another of our regional offices is leading the response to the petition to list the yellowtail damselfish ( Microspathodon chrysurus ) and a separate 90-day finding will be issued later for this species. We find that the petition presents substantial information indicating that the petitioned action may be warranted for the orange clownfish (Amphiprion percula ). We will conduct a status review for this species to determine if the petitioned action is warranted. To ensure that the status review is comprehensive, we are soliciting scientific and commercial information pertaining to Amphiprion percula from any interested party. We find that the petition fails to present substantial scientific or commercial information indicating that the petitioned action may be warranted for the remaining six petitioned Indo-Pacific species: The Hawaiian dascyllus ( Dascyllus albisella ), reticulated damselfish ( Dascyllus reticulatus ), blue-eyed damselfish ( Plectroglyphidodon johnstonianus ), black-axil chromis ( Chromis atripectoralis ), blue-green damselfish ( Chromis viridis ), and blackbar devil or Dick’s damselfish ( Plectroglyphidodon dickii).

**DATES :**  Information and comments on the subject action must be received by November 3, 2014.

**ADDRESSES :**  You may submit comments, information, or data on this document, identified by the code NOAA–NMFS– 2014–0072, by any of the following methods:
