ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[Region 2 Docket No. NY46-217b, FRL-6977-3]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans For Designated 
Facilities; New York

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the New York supplementary 
submittal for meeting EPA's conditional approval of the New York State 
Plan for regulating existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. The 
supplemental submittal documents that, except for two landfills, all 
are in compliance. A Title V permit containing a compliance schedule 
with all five federally enforceable increments of progress has been 
provided for one landfill and the other landfill is undergoing an 
applicability determination. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section 
of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's State Plan 
submittal, as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in 
the direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will 
not take further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse 
comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take 
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule 
based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not 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 June 11, 2001.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Raymond Werner, Chief, 
Air Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2 Office, 
290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007-1866.
    Copies of the State submittal are available at the following 
addresses for inspection during normal business hours:

Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2 Office, 290 Broadway, 25th 
Floor, New York, New York 10007-1866.
