the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands, EPA grants an 

exemption to the major source baseline 

dates and trigger dates for sulfur 

dioxide, PM10, and nitrogen dioxide 

under 40 CFR 52.21, and establishes 

January 13, 1997 as the major source 

baseline date and trigger date for these 

pollutants in the Commonwealth of the

applicable requirements of the Clean Air 

Act. For purposes of complying with 

any applicable requirement that is 

triggered by, implemented or calculated 

from the PSD major source baseline 

date, such requirement, increment, or 

calculation shall, for sources located 

within the Commonwealth of the 

Northern Mariana Islands, use January 

13, 1997 as the PSD major source 

baseline date and trigger date for sulfur 

dioxide, PM10, and nitrogen dioxide.

[EPA–R03–RCRA–2013–0571; FRL–9903– 

07–Region 3] 

West Virginia: Final Authorization of 

State Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: West Virginia has applied to 

EPA for final authorization of revisions 

to its hazardous waste program under 

the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to 

grant final authorization to West 

Virginia. In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ 

section of this Federal Register, EPA is 

authorizing the revisions 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 receive 

written comments that 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. However, if we 

receive comments that oppose this 

action, or portions thereof, we will 

withdraw the relevant portions of the 

immediate final rule, and they 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.
