[EPA–R04–RCRA–2009–0961; FRL–9806–8] 

Georgia: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: Georgia has applied to EPA 

for final authorization of changes to its 

hazardous waste program under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). With this proposed rule, 

EPA is proposing to grant final 

authorization to Georgia for these 

changes. Along with this proposed rule, 

EPA is publishing an immediate final 

rule in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ 

section of today’s Federal Register 

pursuant to which EPA is authorizing 

these changes. EPA did not issue a 

proposed rule before today because EPA 

believes this action is not controversial 

and does not expect comments that 

oppose it. EPA has explained the 

reasons for this authorization in the 

immediate final rule. Unless EPA 

receives written comments that oppose 

this authorization during the comment 

period, the immediate final rule in 

today’s Federal Register will become 

effective on the date it establishes, and 

EPA will not take further action on this 

proposal. If EPA receives comments that 

oppose this action, EPA will withdraw 

the immediate final rule and it will not 

take effect. EPA will then respond to 

public comments in a later final rule 

based on this proposed rule. You may 

not have another opportunity to 

comment on these State program 

changes. If you want to comment on this 

action, you must do so at this time. 

DATES: Send your written comments by 

June 3, 2013.

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.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, 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, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. (For additional information
