ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[MO 053-1053b; FRL-6003-1]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; Missouri; Control of Landfill Gas Emissions 
From Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the Missouri state 111(d) plan for 
controlling landfill gas emissions from existing municipal solid waste 
(MSW) landfills. The plan was submitted to fulfill the requirements of 
the Clean Air Act. The state plan establishes emission limits for 
existing MSW landfills, and provides for the implementation and 
enforcement of those limits.
    In the final rules section of the Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the state's submittal as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and 
anticipates no relevant adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the 
approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse 
comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no further 
activity is contemplated and the direct final rule will become 
effective. If the EPA receives relevant 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 rule. The 
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
May 26, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Wayne Kaiser, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 726 Minnesota 
Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Kaiser at (913) 551-7603.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: April 9, 1998.
