00-14165. State of West Virginia: Final Approval of State Municipal Solid Waste Management Permit Program

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION:

Proposed rule.

SUMMARY:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to grant complete program approval for West Virginia's Municipal Solid Waste Permit Program. In the “Rules and Regulations” section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the remaining elements of the State's program as an immediate final rule without prior proposal because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. The Agency has explained the reasons for this program approval in the preamble to the immediate final rule. If EPA does not receive adverse written comments, the immediate final rule will become effective and the Agency will not take further action on this proposal. If EPA receives adverse written comments, EPA will withdraw the immediate final rule, and it will not take effect. EPA will then address public comments in a later final rule based on this proposal. EPA may not provide further opportunity for comment. Any parties interested in commenting on this action must do so at this time.

DATES:

Written comments must be received on or before July 12, 2000.

ADDRESSES:

Comments should be sent to the following address where the full West Virginia program approval application is on file and may be reviewed: EPA Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029, or alternatively at West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection (WVDEP), 1356 Hansford Street, Charleston, WV 25301-1401.
