40 CFR Part 271

[FRL–6875–2]

Pennsylvania: Final Authorization of

State Hazardous Waste Management

Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: Pennsylvania 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 such Final authorization to

Pennsylvania. In the ‘‘Rules and

Regulations’’ section of this Federal

Register, EPA is authorizing the changes

by an immediate final rule. EPA did not

make a proposal prior to the immediate

final rule because we believe this action

is not controversial and we do not

expect comments that oppose it. We

have explained the reasons for this

authorization in the preamble to the

immediate final rule. Unless we get

written comments which oppose this

authorization during the comment

period, the immediate final rule will

become effective on the date it

establishes, and we will not take further

action on this proposal. If we get

comments that oppose this action, 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: Send your written comments by

October 26, 2000.

Replacement of Personal Property

Pursuant to the Exchange/Sale

Authority

AGENCY: Office of Governmentwide

Policy, GSA.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The General Services

Administration is revising the Federal

Property Management Regulations

(FPMR) by moving coverage on

replacement of personal property

pursuant to the exchange/sale authority

into the Federal Management Regulation

(FMR). A cross-reference is added to the

FPMR to direct readers to the coverage

in the FMR. The FMR is written in plain

language to provide agencies with

updated regulatory material that is easy

to read and understand.

DATES: Your comments must reach us by

November 27, 2000 to be considered in

the formulation of a final rule.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to:

Ms. Sharon A. Kiser, Regulatory

Secretariat (MVRS), Federal Acquisition

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Martha Caswell, Director, Personal

Property Management Policy Division

(MTP), 202–501–3828.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

This proposed rule updates,

streamlines, and clarifies FPMR part

101–46 and moves the part into the

Federal Management Regulation (FMR).

The proposed rule is written in a plain

language question and answer format. In

this format, a question and its answer

combine to establish a rule. This means

the employee and the agency must

follow the language contained in both

the question and its answer.

Proposed updates include:

1. A revised definition of

‘‘replacement.’’

2. A new provision regarding the

fixed price sale of exchange/sale

property to a State Agency for Surplus

Property before conducting an

exchange/sale with a non-Government

entity.

3. Revised restrictions on types of

personal property that are ineligible for

exchange/sale, including removal of

large weapons, fire control equipment,

guided missiles, and furniture from the

list of such property.

4. Clarified restrictions on the

exchange/sale of combat material.

5. A revised requirement for

documentation of exchange/sale

transactions.

6. Removal of the requirement that the

number of items acquired must equal

the number of items exchanged or sold

unless certain exceptions are met.

7. Removal of the requirement that

proceeds from the sale of personal

property under the exchange/sale

authority be accounted for in

accordance with General Accounting

Office regulations.

8. A new annual reporting

requirement for exchange/sale

transactions.

B. Executive Order 12866

GSA has determined that this

proposed rule is not a significant rule

for the purposes of Executive Order

12866 of September 30, 1993.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

A regulatory flexibility analysis is not

required under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.,

because there is no requirement that this

proposed rule be published in the

Federal Register for notice and

comment.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

The Paperwork Reduction Act does

not apply because this proposed rule

does not impose recordkeeping or

information collection requirements, or

the collection of information from
