Alabama: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste
Management Program Revision
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Alabama 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
Alabama. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register, EPA is authorizing the changes by an immediate final rule.
EPA did not make a proposal prior to the immediate 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 of the immediate final rule. Unless we get written
comments which oppose this authorization during the comment period, the
immediate final rule will become effective on the date it establishes,
and we will not take further action on this proposal. If we receive
comments that oppose this action, we will withdraw the immediate final
rule and it will not take effect. We will respond to public comments in
a later final rule based on this proposal. You may not have another
opportunity for comment.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 13, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
RCRA-2006-0575 by one of the following methods:

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R04-RCRA-
2006-0575. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change and may be made available online at

unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI), or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to
be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-
mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous
access'' system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you
send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without going through http://
[[Page 54008]]
www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be automatically captured
and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket
and made available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic
comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other contact
information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you
submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to
consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or
viruses. (For additional information about EPA's public docket, visit
the EPA Docket Center homepage at http://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm).
