SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For 

further information, please see the 

direct final action, of the same title, 

which is located in the Rules section of 

this Federal Register. EPA is approving 

the attainment determination as a direct 

final rule without prior proposal 

because EPA views this as a 

noncontroversial action and anticipates 

no adverse comments. A detailed 

rationale for the approval is set forth in 

the preamble to the direct final rule. If 

EPA receives no adverse comments, 

EPA will not take further action on this 

proposed rule. 

If EPA receives adverse comments, 

EPA will withdraw the direct final rule 

and it will not take effect. EPA will 

address all public comments in a 

subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period on this action. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if we receive adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Parts 191 and 194 

[EPA–HQ–OAR–2009–0330; FRL–9175–6] 

Notification of Completeness of the 

Department of Energy’s Compliance 

Recertification Application for the 

Waste Isolation Pilot Plant 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of determination and 

close of public comment period. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA, ‘‘we’’ or ‘‘the Agency’’) has 

determined that the Department of 

Energy’s (DOE) Compliance 

Recertification Application (CRA or 

‘‘application’’) for the Waste Isolation 

Pilot Plant (WIPP) is complete. EPA 

provided written notice of the 

completeness decision to the Secretary 

of Energy on June 29, 2010. The text of 

the letter is contained in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION. The 

Agency has determined that the 

application is complete, in accordance 

with 40 CFR part 194, ‘‘Criteria for the 

Certification and Recertification of the 

WIPP’s Compliance with the 40 CFR 

part 191 Disposal Regulations’’ 

(Compliance Certification Criteria). The 

completeness determination is an 

administrative step that is required by 

regulation, and it does not imply in any 

way that the CRA demonstrates 

compliance with the Compliance 

Criteria and/or the disposal regulations. 

EPA is now engaged in the full technical 

review that will determine if WIPP 

remains in compliance with the 

disposal regulations. As required by the 

1992 WIPP Land Withdrawal Act and 

our implementing regulations, EPA will 

make a final recertification decision 

within six months of issuing the 

completeness letter to the Secretary of 

Energy. 

DATES: EPA opened the public comment 

period upon receipt of the 2009 CRA (74 

FR 28468, June 16, 2009). Comments 

must be received on or before August 

16, 2010.

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Attn: Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR– 

2009–0330. The Agency’s policy is that 

all comments received will be included 

in the public docket without change and 

may be made available online at 

http://www.regulations.gov, including 

any personal information provided, 

unless the comment includes 

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Do not submit 

information that you consider to be CBI 

or otherwise protected through http:// 

www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through http:// 

www.regulations.gov your e-mail 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact
