40 CFR Part 271

[EPA-R08-RCRA-2022-0485; FRL 9896-01-R8]

North Dakota: Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to grant authorization to the State of
North Dakota for changes to its hazardous waste program under the Solid
Waste Disposal Act, as amended, commonly referred to as the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has determined that these
changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final
authorization and is authorizing the State's changes through a direct
final action, with the exception of Revision Checklist 241.

DATES: Send written comments by November 18, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R08-
RCRA-2022-0485 by mail to Moye Lin, Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act Branch, LCR-RC, EPA Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, Colorado
80202-1129. You may also submit comments electronically or through hand
delivery/courier by following the detailed instructions in the
ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule located in the Rules and
Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Moye Lin at<PHONE_NUMBER>,
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this issue of the Federal Register, the EPA is authorizing changes to
the North Dakota program as a direct final rule. The EPA did not make a
proposal prior to the direct 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 to the
direct final rule.
    Unless the EPA receives written comments that oppose the
authorization during the comment period, the direct final rule will
become effective on the date it establishes, and we will not take
further action on this proposal. If EPA receives comments that oppose
the authorization, we will withdraw the direct final rule and it will
not take immediate effect. We will then respond to public comments in a
later final rule based on this proposal. You may not have another
opportunity for comment. If you want to comment on this action, you
must do so at this time.

    Dated: October 13, 2022.
KC Becker,
Regional Administrator, Region 8.
