[EPA-R08-RCRA-2022-0485; FRL 9896-01-R8]


North Dakota: Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to grant authorization to the State of 
North Dakota for changes to its hazardous waste program under the Solid 
Waste Disposal Act, as amended, commonly referred to as the Resource 
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has determined that these 
changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final 
authorization and is authorizing the State's changes through a direct 
final action, with the exception of Revision Checklist 241.

DATES: Send written comments by November 18, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R08-
RCRA-2022-0485 by mail to Moye Lin, Resource Conservation and Recovery 
Act Branch, LCR-RC, EPA Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, Colorado 
80202-1129. You may also submit comments electronically or through hand 
delivery/courier by following the detailed instructions in the 
ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule located in the Rules and 
Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Moye Lin at (303) 312-6667, 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this issue of the Federal Register, the EPA is authorizing changes to 
the North Dakota program as a direct final rule. The 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 the EPA receives written comments that oppose the 
authorization during the comment period, the direct final rule will 
become effective on the date it establishes, and we will not take 
further action on this proposal. If EPA receives comments that oppose 
the authorization, we will withdraw the direct final rule and it will 
not take immediate 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.

    Dated: October 13, 2022.
KC Becker,
Regional Administrator, Region 8.
