Rhode Island: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program; Revisions and Corrections

The State of Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM) has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for final authorization of revisions to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. The EPA has reviewed Rhode Island's application and has determined that Rhode Island's hazardous waste program revision satisfies all of the requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. Additionally, this document corrects errors made in the State authorization citations published in the March 12, 1990, March 5, 1992, October 2, 1992, and August 9, 2002 Federal Register. The EPA is authorizing the State program revisions through this final action. In the "Proposed Rules" section of this Federal Register, the EPA is also publishing a separate document that serves as the proposal to authorize these revisions. Unless the EPA receives written comments that oppose this authorization during the comment period, the decision to authorize Rhode Island's revisions to its hazardous waste program will take effect.
