ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[AL-046-9826b; FRL-6168-3]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants: Alabama

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the section 111(d) Plan submitted by 
the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) for the State 
of Alabama on January 6, 1998, for implementing and enforcing the 
Emissions Guidelines applicable to existing Municipal Solid Waste 
Landfills. The Plan was submitted by the ADEM to satisfy certain 
Federal Clean Air Act requirements. In the final rules section of this 
Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse 
comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the 
direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to 
the direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation 
to this proposed rule. If 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 rule. The 
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this rule. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this rule should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by November 9, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Kimberly Bingham at 
the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant 
to this proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal 
business hours at the following locations. The interested persons 
wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the 
appropriate office at least 24 hours before the day of the visit.
