Nevada: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: Nevada has applied to the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

for final authorization of changes to its 

hazardous waste program under the 

Resource Conservation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). These changes correspond 

to certain federal rules promulgated 

between July 1, 2005, and June 30, 2008 

(also known as RCRA Clusters XVI 

through XVIII). With this proposed rule, 

EPA is proposing to grant final 

authorization to Nevada for these 

changes. 

DATES: Send your written comments by 

May 9, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID Number EPA– 

R09–RCRA–2015–0822 at http://

www.regulations.gov or follow the 

detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES

section of the direct final rule which is 

located in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ 

section of today’s Federal Register. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Laurie Amaro, 75 Hawthorne Street, San 

Francisco, CA 94105, amaro.laurie@

epa.gov, 415–972–3364. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Along 

with this proposed rule, EPA is 

publishing a direct 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 direct final rule. 

Unless EPA receives written comments 

that oppose this authorization during 

the comment period, the direct 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 direct 

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. For additional 

information, please see the direct final 

rule published in the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of today’s Federal 

Register. 

Dated: March 9, 2016.

Regional Administrator, Region 9.
