Tennessee: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Tennessee has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency 
(EPA) for final authorization of changes to its hazardous waste program 
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). These changes 
correspond to certain Federal rules promulgated between July 1, 2004 
and June 30, 2006 (also known as RCRA Clusters XV and XVI). With this 
proposed rule, EPA is proposing to grant final authorization to 
Tennessee for these changes.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Along with this proposed rule, EPA is 
publishing a direct final rule in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section 
of this issue of the Federal Register pursuant to which EPA is 
authorizing these changes. EPA did not issue a proposed rule before 
today because EPA believes this action is not controversial and does 
not expect comments that oppose it. EPA has explained the reasons for 
this authorization in the direct final rule. Unless EPA receives 
written comments that oppose this authorization during the comment 
period, the direct final rule in this issue of the Federal Register 
will become effective on the date it establishes, and EPA will not take 
further action on this proposal. If EPA receives comments that oppose 
this action, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not 
take effect. EPA will then respond to public comments in a later final 
rule based on this proposed rule. You may not have another opportunity 
to comment on these State program changes. 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 issue of the Federal Register.

    Dated: March 2, 2015.

Regional Administrator, Region 4.
