SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing these 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 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 immediate 
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: June 8, 2010.
Ira W. Leighton,
Acting Regional Administrator, EPA New England.
