FR Document		2017-14764

The State of Louisiana 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 Louisiana. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing the changes by direct 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.

Management Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The State of Louisiana 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 Louisiana. In the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing the 
changes by direct 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.
