Virginia: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revision; Withdrawal of Immediate Final Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of immediate final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing the immediate final rule for Virginia: 
Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program 
revision published on April 3, 2008, which authorized changes to 
Virginia's hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and 
Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA stated in the immediate final rule that if EPA 
received written comments that oppose this authorization during the 
comment period, EPA would publish a notice of withdrawal in the Federal 
Register prior to the effective date of June 2, 2008. Since EPA did 
receive a comment that opposes this authorization, EPA is withdrawing 
the immediate final rule. EPA will address these comments in a 
subsequent final action based on the proposed rule also published on 
April 3, 2008 at 73 FR 18229.

DATES: As of June 3, 2008, EPA withdraws the immediate final rule 
published on April 3, 2008 at 73 FR 18172.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas UyBarreta, Mailcode 3WC21, RCRA 
State Programs Branch, U.S. EPA Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 
Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Because EPA received written comments that 
oppose this authorization, EPA is withdrawing the immediate final rule 
for Virginia: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revision published on April 3, 2008 at 73 FR 18172, which 
authorized changes to Virginia's hazardous waste program. EPA stated in 
the immediate final rule that if EPA received written comments that 
oppose this authorization during the comment period, EPA would publish 
a notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register prior to the effective 
date of June 2, 2008. Since EPA received comments that oppose this 
action, today EPA is withdrawing the immediate final rule. EPA will 
address the comments received during the comment period in a subsequent 
final action based on the proposed rule also published on April 3, 
2008. EPA will not provide for additional public comment during the 
final action.
