South Carolina: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste 
Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: South Carolina has applied to the EPA for final authorization 
of changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. The EPA has reviewed 
South Carolina's application and has determined, subject to public 
comment, that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify 
for final authorization. Therefore, in the ``Rules and

[[Page 29879]]

Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, we are authorizing 
South Carolina for these changes as a direct final action without a 
prior proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take 
further action on this proposed rule.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 8, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
RCRA-2023-0042, at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from www.regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on 
South Carolina's changes to its hazardous waste management program 
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. We 
have published a direct final action authorizing these changes in the 
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register because we 
view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse 
comment. We have explained our reasons for this action in the preamble 
to the direct final action.
    If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action 
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw 
the direct final action and it will not take effect. We would then 
address all public comments in a subsequent final action and base any 
further decision on the authorization of the State program changes 
after considering all comments received during the comment period.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this 
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. 
For further information, please see the information provided in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document.

    Dated: March 30, 2023.

Regional Administrator, Region 4.
