[EPA-R06-RCRA-2016-0344; FRL-9962-38-Region 6 ]


Oklahoma: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The State of Oklahoma has applied to Environmental Protection 
Agency (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 Oklahoma. 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 direct 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 
direct final rule. Unless we get written comments which oppose this 
authorization during the comment period, the direct final rule will 
become effective 60 days after publication and we will not take further 
action on this proposal. If we receive comments that oppose this 
action, we will withdraw the direct 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 August 14, 2017.
