New Hampshire: Final Approval of Underground Storage Tank Program 
Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The State of New Hampshire has applied to EPA for approval of 
the changes to its underground storage tank program under Subtitle I of 
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has determined 
that these amendments satisfy all requirements needed for program 
approval and proposes to approve the State's changes. In the ``Rules 
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving 
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 approval in the preamble to the 
immediate final rule. Unless we get written comments which oppose this 
approval 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.

DATES: Send your written comments by November 3, 2006.

UST-2006-0622, by one of the following methods:

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R01-UST-

on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends 
that you include your name and other contact information in the body of 
your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read 
your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for 
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic 
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of 
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
