Delaware: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revision

Delaware has applied to EPA for Final authorization of revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The revisions cover regulatory changes adopted on August 23, 1999 to the State's authorized hazardous waste program, which include various amendments to Federal hazardous waste regulations through January 21, 1999. EPA has determined that Delaware's hazardous waste program revisions satisfy all of the requirements necessary to qualify for Final authorization, and is authorizing the state program revisions through this immediate final action. EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and does not anticipate adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve as a proposal to authorize the revisions should the Agency receive adverse comment. If EPA receives comments that oppose this action or portion(s) thereof, we will publish a document in the Federal Register withdrawing this rule or portion(s) thereof before it takes effect, and the separate document in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register will serve as a proposal to authorize the changes. Unless EPA receives adverse written comments during the review and comment period, the decision to authorize Delaware's hazardous waste program revisions will take effect.
