declaration submitted November 13, 2006, the State of New Jersey's 
negative declaration submitted April 5, 2006 and the Commonwealth of 
Puerto Rico's negative declaration submitted September 25, 2006 as a

final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this 
action, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this action. 
If the 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 action. The 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.
