Tennessee: Final Authorization of

State Hazardous Waste Management

Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: Tennessee has applied to EPA

for Final authorization of the changes to

its hazardous waste program under the

Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to grant final

authorization to Tennessee. 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 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

November 27, 2000.
