ACTION: Notice of availability of Weyerhaeuser Project XL Final Project

SUMMARY: EPA is today requesting comment on a proposed Project XL Final

strategies that will replace or modify specific regulatory requirements 
on the condition that they produce greater environmental benefits. EPA 
has set a goal of implementing a total of fifty projects undertaken in 
full partnership with the states.
