Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for

Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

[[Page 77]]

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the municipal solid waste (MSW) 
landfill section 111(d) negative declarations submitted by the District 
of Columbia, and the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Each negative 
declaration certifies that MSW landfills, subject to the requirements 
of section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), do not exist in its air 
pollution control jurisdiction. If no adverse comments are received in 
response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. EPA will not institute a second 
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by February 3, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to Walter Wilkie, Deputy 
Chief, Air Quality Planning and Information Services Branch, Mailcode 
3AP21, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch 
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the documents 
relevant to this action are available for public inspection during 
normal business hours at the Air Protection Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James B. Topsale at (215) 814-2190, or 
by e-mail at [email protected]. Please note that while questions may 
be posed via phone and e-mail, formal comments must be submitted in 
writing, as indicated in the ADDRESSES section of this document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the 
information provided in the direct final action, with the same title, 
that is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register publication. Please note that if EPA receives adverse 
comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that 
provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 
as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an 
adverse comment.

    Dated: December 20, 2002.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region III.
