ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 62
[Region 2 Docket No. NY66-271b; FRL-7610-6]
Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated
Facilities; New York
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a revision to the State Plan submitted by New York implementing
the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill Emission Guidelines, as
promulgated by EPA. The State Plan establishes performance standards
for existing MSW landfills located in New York State and provides for
the implementation and enforcement of those standards, which will
reduce the designated pollutants. The State Plan revision consists of
moving the federally approved MSW requirements from Subpart 360-2.21 of
title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR) to part
208 of title 6 NYCRR. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this
Federal Register, EPA is approving New York's State Plan revision as a
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this
as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take further
[[Page 2324]]
action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA
will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA
will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on
this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period
on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before February 17,
2004.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted either by mail or electronically.
