Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; Iowa; 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 Iowa 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 adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval 
is set forth in the direct final rule. If no 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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 [phone].

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.
