SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposal for which EPA is holding the 

public hearing will be published 

separately in the Federal Register. A 

copy of the signed notice of proposed 

rulemaking, which is essentially the 

same as the proposal that will be 

published in the Federal Register, has 

been available since May 5, 2009, on the 

following Web site: http://www.epa.gov/ 

otaq/renewablefuels/index.htm. The 

notice on the Web site contains the 

same public hearing date, addresses, 

and registration information presented 

in this announcement of public hearing. 

Public Hearing: The public hearing 

will provide interested parties the 

opportunity to present data, views, or 

arguments concerning the proposed 

rule. The EPA may ask clarifying 

questions during the oral presentations 

but will not respond to the 

presentations at that time. Written 

statements and supporting information 

submitted during the comment period 

will be considered with the same weight 

as any oral comments and supporting 

information presented at the public 

hearing. Written comments must be 

received by the last day of the comment 

period, as specified in the proposal of 

the RFS2 rule. 

The public hearing will be held on 

June 9 in Washington, DC and will 

begin at 10 a.m. and end at 5 p.m., local 

time. To testify at the public hearing, 

please notify the contact person listed 

under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT by June 1, 2009. 

Verbatim transcripts of the hearings 

and written statements will be included 

in the rulemaking docket. 

Workshop: We will also hold a 

workshop on June 10–11, 2009 at the 

Dupont Hotel in Washington, DC to 

present details of our lifecycle GHG 

analysis. During this workshop, we 

intend to go through the lifecycle GHG 

analysis included in this proposal. The 

intent of this workshop is to help ensure 

a full understanding of our lifecycle 

analysis, the major issues identified and 

the options discussed. We expect that 

this workshop will help ensure that we 

receive submission of the most 

thoughtful and useful comments to this 

proposal and that the best methodology 

and assumptions are used for 

calculating GHG emissions impacts of 

fuels for the final rule. While this 

workshop will be held during the 

comment period, it is not intended to 

replace either the formal public hearing 

or the need to submit comments to the 

docket.

[EPA–R06–RCRA–2008–0757; FRL–8905–5] 

Louisiana: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The State of Louisiana has 

applied to EPA for Final authorization 

of the changes to its hazardous waste 

program under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

EPA proposes to grant Final 

authorization to the State of Louisiana. 

In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section 

of this Federal Register, EPA is 

authorizing the changes 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 get 

written comments which 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. If we receive 

comments that oppose this action, we 

will withdraw the immediate final rule 

and it 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. 

DATE: Send your written comments by 

June 19, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to 

Alima Patterson, Region 6, Regional 

Authorization Coordinator, (6PD–O), 

Multimedia Planning and Permitting 

Division, at the address shown below. 

You can examine copies of the materials 

submitted by the State of Louisiana 

during normal business hours at the 

following locations: EPA Region 6, 1445
