[MO 053-1053b; FRL-6003-1]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated

Facilities and Pollutants; Missouri; Control of Landfill Gas Emissions

From Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the Missouri state 111(d) plan for

controlling landfill gas emissions from existing municipal solid waste

(MSW) landfills. The plan was submitted to fulfill the requirements of

the Clean Air Act. The state plan establishes emission limits for

existing MSW landfills, and provides for the implementation and

enforcement of those limits.

In the final rules section of the Federal Register, the EPA is

approving the state's submittal as a direct final rule without prior

proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and

anticipates no relevant adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse

comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no further

activity is contemplated and the direct final rule will become

effective. If the EPA receives relevant 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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. The

EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any

parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this

time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by

May 26, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Wayne Kaiser, Environmental

Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 726 Minnesota

Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Kaiser at (913) 551-7603.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct

final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal

Register.

Dated: April 9, 1998.

Regional Administrator, Region VII.
