Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action on the authorization of changes to Mississippi's hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. These changes were outlined in an April 2, 2024 application to the EPA. We have determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed for final authorization.
This authorization is effective on July 22, 2025 without further notice unless the EPA receives adverse comment by June 23, 2025. If the EPA receives adverse comment, we will either publish a timely withdrawal of this direct final action in the Federal Register informing the public that the authorization will not take effect, or we will publish a notification containing a response to comments that either reverses the decision or affirms that the final action will take effect. In the event that the final action is withdrawn, we would address all public comments and make a final decision on authorization in a subsequent final action.
Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-RCRA-2024-0289, at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting comments.

Do not submit electronically any information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
