UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

In accordance with Title 40 of the United States Code of Federal
Regulations, Section 271.21(b)(4), the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is hereby giving notice of its proposal to
approve the State of Nevada’s revised hazardous waste management
program.

Nevada has applied for final authorization for revisions to its
hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) (hereafter “Revised Program”).  EPA reviewed Nevada’s
application and has made a determination, subject to public review and
comment, that the State’s Revised Program satisfies all of the
requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization.  Thus, EPA
intends to grant final authorization to Nevada to implement its Revised
Program, subject to the authority retained by EPA in accordance with the
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA).  Nevada’s
authorization application will be available for public review and
comment as specified below.

DATES: Written comments on Nevada’s program revision authorization
applications must be received by the close of business thirty (30) days
after publication in the Federal Register.  We expect the proposed and
immediate final Federal Register notices to be published late February,
2009

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R09-RCRA-2008-0726.  Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, publicly available docket materials will be available

final complete program revision applications for changes and additions
to the Federal RCRA regulations that occurred between July 7, 1999 and
July 1, 2005, seeking authorization for those changes, as well as
miscellaneous changes to its previously authorized regulations in
accordance with 40 CFR 271.21.  A complete listing of the revisions will
