Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 27 / Thursday, February 11, 2021 / Proposed Rules 9043 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the proposed rule does 

not have tribal implications and will not 

impose substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

negative declarations in lieu of state 

plans to satisfy the requirements in the 

Emission Guidelines and Compliance 

Times for Municipal Solid Waste 

Landfills for the State of Maine and the

declarations certify that there are no

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before March 15, 2021.

Confidential Business Information (CBI) 

or other information whose disclosure is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Rules and Regulations section of this 

Federal Register, the EPA is approving 

the State of Maine and the State of 

Rhode Island’s negative declarations 

submitted in accordance with 40 CFR 

60.23a(b) and 62.06, to satisfy the 

requirements in the Emission 

Guidelines and Compliance Times for 

Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (MSW 

Landfills Emission Guidelines) as a 

direct final rule without prior proposal 

because the Agency views this as a 

noncontroversial submittal and 

anticipates no adverse comments. See 

MSW Landfills Emission Guidelines, 81 

FR 59276 (August 29, 2016), as 

amended by 84 FR 32520 (July 8, 2019) 

(revising Emission Guidelines 

Implementing Regulations) and 84 FR 

44547 (Aug. 26, 2019) (adopting 

Requirements in Emission Guidelines 

for MSW Landfills). 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 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direct final rule will be withdrawn, and 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. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. Please note that if the EPA 

receives adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of the 

rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

the 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 in this 

issue of the Federal Register. 

Dated: February 3, 2021.
