Delaware: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management 
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:  Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The State of Delaware has applied to Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) for final authorization of revisions to its hazardous 
waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 
By this action, EPA proposes to grant final authorization to Delaware. 
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA 
is authorizing the revisions by a direct final rule. EPA did not make a 
proposal prior to the direct final rule because EPA believes this 
action is not controversial and does not expect comments that oppose 
it. EPA has explained the reasons for this authorization in the 
preamble to the direct final rule. Unless EPA receives written adverse 
comments pertaining to this State revision during the comment period, 
the direct final rule will become effective on the date it establishes, 
and EPA will not take further action on this proposed rulemaking. 
However, if EPA receives adverse comments pertaining to this State 
revision, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register, 
and this direct final rule will not take effect. EPA will then respond 
to public comments in a later final rule based on this proposed 
rulemaking. 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 written comments by January 6, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
RCRA-2022-0351, at www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions 
for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or 
removed from

[[Page 75021]]

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 the disclosure of which 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, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit

electronic submittals, but if you are unable to submit electronically 
or need other assistance, please contact Claudia Scott, the contact
