SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing these changes by an 
intermediate 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 adverse comments that oppose it. We 
have explained the reasons for this authorization in the preamble to 
the immediate final rule. Unless we get written adverse comments which 
oppose this authorization 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 get 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 may not have another 
opportunity for comment. If you want to comment on this action, you 
should do so at this time.

    Dated: February 9, 2006.
Robert W. Varney,
Regional Administrator, EPA New England.
