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 May 2, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
RCRA-2007-0992 by one of the following methods:
http://www.regulations.gov: Follow the on-line
instructions for submitting comments.
E-mail: [email protected].

State Programs Section, RCRA Programs and Materials Management Branch,

only accepted during the Docket's normal hours of operation, and
special arrangements should be made for deliveries of boxed

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R04-RCRA-
2007-0992. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change and may be made available online at
www.regulations.gov including any personal information provided, 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 www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The
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 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).

www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
