West Virginia: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The state of West Virginia has applied to the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for final authorization of 
revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has determined that these 
revisions satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final 
authorization, subject to public comment. Therefore, in the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we are authorizing West 
Virginia for these changes as a final action without a prior proposed 
rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action 
on this proposed rule.

DATES: Send written comments by October 30, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
RCRA-2024-0046, at www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions 
for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or 
removed from www.regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any comment 
received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information the disclosure of which is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on 
West Virginia 's revisions to its hazardous waste management program 
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. We 
have published a direct final rule authorizing these revisions in the 
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this issue of the Federal Register 
because we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no 
adverse comment. We have explained our reasons for this action in the 
preamble to the direct final rule.
    If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action 
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment pertaining to the 
State revisions, we will withdraw the final action and it will not take 
effect. We would then address all public comments in a subsequent final 
action and base any further decision on the authorization of the State 
program revisions after considering all comments received during the 
comment period.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. 
For further information, please see the information provided in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document.

    Authority: This action is issued under the authority of sections 
2002(a), 3006 and

[[Page 79492]]

7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 
6912(a), 6926, 6974(b).
