Alaska: Adequacy of Alaska's Municipal Solid Waste Landfill 
Permit Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA Region 10 proposes to approve Alaska's modification of its 
approved Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) permit program. On 
March 22, 2004, EPA issued final regulations allowing Research, 
Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) permits to be issued to certain 
MSWLFs by approved states. On September 7, 2010 Alaska submitted an 
application to EPA Region 10 seeking Federal approval of its RD&D 
requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving Alaska's Research, Development, and 
Demonstration (RD&D) permit program through a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
action and anticipates no adverse comments to this action. Unless we 
get written adverse comments which oppose this approval during the 
comment period, the direct final rule will become effective on the date 
it establishes, and we will not take further action on this proposal. 
If EPA receives written adverse comments, the direct final rule will be 
withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 
subsequent final rule. 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. For additional information, see the direct 
final rule which is located in the Rules section of this Federal 
Register.

    Dated: December 22, 2010.
Dennis J. McLerran,
Regional Administrator, EPA Region 10.
