North Carolina: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program
Revisions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: North Carolina has applied to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for
final authorization of changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. The EPA has reviewed North Carolina’s application
and has determined, subject to public comment, that these changes satisfy all requirements
needed to qualify for final authorization. Therefore, in the “Rules and Regulations” section of
this Federal Register, we are authorizing North Carolina for these changes as a final action
without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rule.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before [INSERT DATE 30 DAYS AFTER THE
DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER].
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-RCRA-20240116, at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting comments.
Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed from www.regulations.gov. The EPA
may publish any comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be
accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA will generally not

consider comments or comment contents located outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the
web, cloud, or other file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on North
Carolina’s changes to its hazardous waste management program under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. We have published a final action
authorizing these changes in the “Rules and Regulations” section of this Federal Register
because we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have
explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the final action.
If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule. If
we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw the final action and it will not take effect. We

would then address all public comments in a subsequent final action and base any further
decision on the authorization of the State program changes after considering all comments
received during the comment period.
We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time. For further information, please see the
information provided in the ADDRESSES section of this document.
Dated: June 28, 2024.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
