ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[TX-108-1-7408b; FRL-6361-3]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: We propose to approve the section 111(d) Plan submitted by the 
Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission on November 3, 1998, to 
implement and enforce the Emissions Guidelines (EG) for existing 
municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills. The EG require States to collect 
landfill gas from large MSW landfills. In the final rules section of 
this Federal Register, we are approving the State Plan as a direct 
final rule without prior proposal because we view this as a 
noncontroversial action and anticipate 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 this rule, no further 
activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. If we receive 
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all 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. We will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
action should do so at this time. Please see the direct final rule of 
this action located elsewhere in today's Federal Register for a 
detailed description of the Texas State Plan.

DATES: Comments must be received by July 19, 1999.

ADDRESSES: You should address comments on this action to Lt. Mick Cote, 
EPA Region 6, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 
1200, Dallas, Texas 75202. Copies of all materials considered in this 
rulemaking may be examined during normal business hours at the
