{"abstract":"The EPA is extending the expiration date from January 1, 2006 to January 1, 2011 for the interim authorization under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, of the Massachusetts program for regulating Cathode Ray Tubes (\"CRTs\"). Massachusetts was granted interim authorization to assume the responsibility under the Toxicity Characteristics Rule (\"TC Rule\") for regulating CRTs, on November 15, 2000 with an expiration date of January 1, 2003. This expiration date was subsequently extended until January 1, 2006. As this interim authorization is soon due to expire, an extension is needed for the reasons explained below. EPA is publishing this rule to authorize the extension without a prior proposal because we believe this action is not controversial and do not expect comments that oppose it. Unless we get written comments which oppose this extension during the comment period, the decision to extend the interim authorization will take effect. If we get comments that oppose this action, we will publish a document in the Federal Register withdrawing this rule before it takes effect and the separate document in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register will serve as the proposal to authorize the changes.","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/2005/11/18/05-22891.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":271,"title":40}],"citation":"70 FR 69900","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2005-12-19","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This extension of the interim authorization will become effective on January 17, 2006 and remain in effect until January 1, 2011 unless EPA receives adverse written comment by December 19, 2005.
