New Mexico: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

ACTION: Proposed rule

SUMMARY:   The State of New Mexico has applied to EPA for Final
authorization of the changes to its hazardous waste program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).  EPA proposes to grant
Final Authorization to the State of New Mexico.  In the “Rules and
Regulations” section of this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing 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 authorization in the preamble to the
immediate final rule.  Unless we get written comments which oppose this
authorization 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.
