SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, the EPA is codifying and incorporating by 
reference the State's hazardous waste program as a direct final rule. 
EPA did not make a proposal prior to the direct final rule because we 
believe these actions are not controversial and do not expect comments 
that oppose them. We have explained the reasons for this codification 
and incorporation by reference in the preamble to the direct final 
rule. Unless we get written comments which oppose this incorporation by 
reference during the comment period, the direct final rule will become 
effective on the date indicated, and we will not take further action on 
this proposal. If we get comments that oppose these actions, we will 
withdraw the direct 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.
    For additional information, please see the direct final rule 
published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal 
Register.
