{"abstract":"West Virginia has applied to EPA for Final authorization of the revision to its hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The revision covers statutory and regulatory changes to the State's authorized hazardous waste program, including the adoption of the Federal hazardous regulations, as amended through June 30, 1997, and the Federal final rules published in the Federal Register on December 8, 1997, May 26, 1998, June 8, 1998, and on June 19, 1998 with certain exceptions described in section H in the Supplementary Information section of this document. EPA has determined that its hazardous waste program revisions satisfy all of the requirements necessary to qualify for Final authorization, and is authorizing the state program revision through this immediate final action. EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and does not anticipate adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve as a proposal to authorize the revision should the Agency receive adverse comment. If EPA receives comments that oppose this action or portion(s) thereof, we will publish a document in the Federal Register withdrawing this rule or portion(s) thereof before it takes effect and a separate document in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register will serve as a proposal to authorize the changes. Unless EPA receives adverse written comments during the review and comment period, the decision to authorize West Virginia's hazardous waste program revision will take effect as provided below.","action":"Immediate final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2000/05/10/00-11426.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":271,"title":40}],"citation":"65 FR 29973","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2000-06-09","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This Final authorization for West Virginia will become effective without further notice on July 10, 2000, unless EPA receives adverse comments by June 9, 2000.
