Arkansas: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions

The State of Arkansas has applied for Final authorization of its revisions to its Hazardous Waste Program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The EPA has determined that these revisions satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for Final authorization, and is authorizing the State's revisions through this immediate final action. The EPA is publishing this rule to authorize the revisions without a prior proposal because we believe this action is not controversial and do not expect adverse comments. Unless we get adverse comments which oppose this authorization during the comment period, the decision to authorize the State of Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality's (ADEQ) revisions to their hazardous waste program will take effect. If adverse comments are received, we will publish a document in the Federal Register either; withdrawing this immediate final decision; or a notice containing a response to comments and which either affirms that the immediate final decision takes effect or reverses the decision.
