SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules and Regulations section of this
Federal Register, EPA is approving negative declarations for the State
of Maine and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, submitted in accordance
with 40 CFR 60.23(b) and 62.06, to satisfy the requirements in the
Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Commercial and Industrial
Solid Waste Incineration Units (CISWI Emission Guidelines). Since this
action is considered noncontroversial and there are no anticipated
adverse comments, the Agency is concurrently publishing it as a
proposed rule (allowing opportunity for public comment) and a direct
final rule. See CISWI Emission Guidelines amended by 78 FR 9112
(February 7, 2013) and 84 FR 15846 (Apr. 16, 2019). A detailed
rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no
adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further
activity is contemplated. If 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final rule will be withdrawn, and all public comments received will be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 rule. EPA
will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in
commenting on this action should do so at this time. Please note that
if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section
of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment.
For additional information, see the direct final rule which is
located in the Rules and Regulations Section of this issue of the
Federal Register.
