Tennessee: Final Authorization of 

State Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to authorize 

changes to Tennessee’s hazardous waste 

program under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

These changes were outlined in an 

application to the EPA and correspond 

to certain Federal rules promulgated 

between January 1, 1983 and June 30, 

2021. The EPA reviewed Tennessee’s 

application and has determined that 

these changes satisfy all requirements 

needed to qualify for final authorization. 

Therefore, in the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register, we are authorizing Tennessee 

for these changes as a direct final rule 

without a prior proposed rule. If we 

receive no adverse comment, we will 

not take further action on this proposed 

rule. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 12, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R04– 

RCRA–2022–0395, at https://

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 

whose disclosure 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,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document proposes to take action on 

Tennessee’s changes 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 changes in the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of this 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 an adverse 

comment, we will withdraw the direct 

final rule and it will not take effect. We 

would then address all public 

comments in a subsequent final rule and 

base any further decision on the 

authorization of the State program 

changes 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.

RIN 1018–BF54 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

and Plants; Removal of the Puerto 

Rican Boa From the Federal List of 

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 

remove the Puerto Rican boa 

(Chilabothrus inornatus, but listed as 

Epicrates inornatus), an endemic snake 

from Puerto Rico, from the Federal List 

of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife 

(List). This determination is based on 

the best available scientific and 

commercial data, which indicate that 

the species has recovered and the 

threats to the species have been 

eliminated or reduced to the point that 

the species no longer meets the 

definition of an endangered species or 

threatened species under the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). If this proposal is 

finalized, the Puerto Rican boa will be 

removed from the List and the 

prohibitions and conservation measures 

provided by the Act, particularly 

through sections 7 and 9, would no 

longer apply to the species. 

DATES: We will accept comments 

received or postmarked on or before 

September 12, 2022. Comments 

submitted electronically using the 

Federal eRulemaking Portal (see 

ADDRESSES, below) must be received by 

11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the closing 

date. We must receive requests for 

public hearings, in writing, at the 

address shown in FOR FURTHER

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Summary 

Why we need to publish a rule. Under 

the Act, a species warrants protection 

through listing if it is endangered or 

threatened. Conversely, a species may 

be removed from the List if the Act’s 

protections are determined to be no 

longer required because the species is 

extinct, the species does not meet the 

definition of an endangered or a 

threatened species (because of, for 

example, recovery), or the listed entity 

does not meet the statutory definition of 

a species. We are proposing to remove 

the Puerto Rican boa from the List due 

to recovery. Removing a species from 

the List can be completed only by 

issuing a rule. 

What this document does. This rule 

proposes to delist the Puerto Rican boa 

based on its recovery.
