United States Virgin Islands for other solid waste incineration units. 
Other solid waste incineration (OSWI) unit means either a very small 
municipal waste combustion unit or an institutional waste incineration

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this issue of 
the Federal Register, the EPA is approving the United States Virgin 
Island's negative declaration submitted April 18, 2017, as a direct 
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as 
noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments to this action.
    A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct 
final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this 
action, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this action. 
If the EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be 
withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 
subsequent final rule based on this proposed action. 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.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is 
located in the rules section of this issue of the Federal Register.
