          - 40 CFR Part 271
          - [EPA-R04-RCRA-2022-0395; FRL-9794-01-R4]

# 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.

# 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.
