Agency
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
Action
Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
USEPA is proposing to approve the Illinois State Plan submittal
for implementing the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill Emission Guidelines. The State's plan was submitted to USEPA on July 21, 1998 in accordance with the requirements for adoption and submittal of State plans for designated facilities in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations part 60 (40 CFR part 60), subpart B. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is approving the State's request as a direct final rule without prior proposal because USEPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for approving the State's request is set forth in the direct final rule. The direct final rule will become effective without further notice unless USEPA receives relevant adverse written comment. Should USEPA receive such comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal informing the public that the direct final rule will not take effect and such public comment received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. If no adverse written comments are received, the direct final rule will take effect on the date stated in that document, and no further action will be taken. USEPA does not plan to 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 December 23, 1998.
