ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[Region 2 Docket No. NY66-271b; FRL-7610-6]
 
Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities; New York

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve a revision to the State Plan submitted by New York implementing 
the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill Emission Guidelines, as 
promulgated by EPA. The State Plan establishes performance standards 
for existing MSW landfills located in New York State and provides for 
the implementation and enforcement of those standards, which will 
reduce the designated pollutants. The State Plan revision consists of 
moving the federally approved MSW requirements from Subpart 360-2.21 of 
title 6 of the New York Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR) to part 
208 of title 6 NYCRR. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is approving New York's State Plan revision as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take further

action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA 
will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA 
will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on 
this proposed rule. 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.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before February 17, 
2004.
