The State of Montana 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 the hazardous waste program changes submitted by the State of Montana. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing the changes in an immediate final rule.

We have explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to the immediate final rule. Unless we get written comments that 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 publish a document in the Federal Register
