Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; Ohio; Control of Landfill Gas Emissions From 
Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: USEPA is proposing to approve the Ohio State Plan submittal 
for implementing the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfill Emission 
Guidelines. The State's plan submittal was made pursuant to 
requirements found in the Clean Air Act (CAA). The State's plan was 
submitted to USEPA in accordance with the requirements for adoption and 
submittal of State plans for designated facilities in title 40 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations part 60 (40 CFR part 60), subpart B. In the 
final rules section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is approving 
the State's request as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because USEPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for approving the State's 
request is set forth in the direct final rule. The direct final rule 
will become effective without further notice unless USEPA receives 
relevant adverse written comment. Should USEPA receive such comment, it 
will publish a final rule informing the public that the direct final 
rule will not take effect and such public comment received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. If no 
adverse written comments are received, the direct final rule will take 
effect and no further action will be taken on this proposed rule. USEPA 
does not plan to 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 September 8, 
1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), Region 5 
at the address listed below.

Protection Agency (OEPA) may be examined during normal business hours
