Virginia: Approval of Financial Assurance Regulations for the 
Commonwealth's Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Permitting Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Virginia has applied to EPA for final approval of its 
financial assurance regulations for Municipal Solid Waste landfills 
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes 
to grant final approval to Virginia. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' 
section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the changes by an 
Immediate Final Rule. EPA did not make a proposal prior to the 
Immediate Final Rule because we believe this action is not 
controversial and do not expect comments that oppose it. We have 
explained the reasons for this approval in the preamble to the 
Immediate Final Rule. Unless we receive written comments which oppose 
this approval during the comment period, the Immediate Final Rule will 
become effective on the date it establishes, and we will not take 
further action on this proposal. If we receive comments that oppose 
this action, we will withdraw the Immediate Final Rule, and it will not 
take effect. We will then respond to public comments in a later Final 
Rule based on this proposal. You will not have another opportunity for 
comment. If you want to comment on this action, you must do so at this 
time.

DATES: Send your written comments by November 6, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Mike Giuranna, RCRA State 
Programs Branch, Waste & Chemicals Management Division (3WC21), U.S.
