44128 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 160 / Tuesday, August 19, 1997 / Notices

B. State of Iowa

On February 4, 1997, the Iowa

Department of Natural Resources

submitted an amended application for

full MSWLF permit program approval.

This application follows a September

30, 1993, submittal which did not

satisfy the requirements for the landfill

liner design. Since the original

application, Iowa has adopted

regulations pertaining to financial

assurance, gas monitoring and control,

seismic areas, fault zones, unstable

geologic areas, airport safety, and liners

and caps. The revised regulation for

liner design adopted the language in 40

CFR 258.40(b) for a composite liner

system and allows for approval of an

alternative liner system design provided

that it includes ‘‘certification by a

professional engineer registered in Iowa

stating that the proposed alternative

liner system will ensure that the

contaminant concentration values listed

in Federal regulations under 40 CFR

part 258, subpart D, table 1, will not be

exceeded in the uppermost aquifer at

the designated monitoring points of

compliance as specified by the

department.’’

Iowa does not claim jurisdiction over

Indian Land. Iowa’s program is not

enforceable on Indian lands.

The EPA has reviewed Iowa’s

application, and has made an immediate

final decision that Iowa’s municipal

solid waste landfill permit program

satisfies all the requirements of the SIR

to qualify for full program approval.

Consequently, the EPA intends to grant

full approval of the Iowa program. The

public may submit written comments on

the EPA’s immediate final decision up

until [insert the date 30 days after the

date of publication of this notice].

Copies of Iowa’s application for program

approval are available for inspection

and copying at the locations identified

in the ‘‘ADDRESSES’’ section of this

action.

Approval of Iowa’s municipal solid

waste landfill permitting program shall

become effective [insert the date 60 days

after the date of publication of this

notice], unless an adverse comment

pertaining to the state’s revision

discussed in this notice is received by

the end of the comment period. If an

adverse comment is received the EPA

will publish either: (1) A withdrawal of

the immediate final decision, or (2) a

notice containing a response to

comments which either affirms that the

immediate final decision takes effect or

reverses the decision.

C. Decision

I conclude that Iowa’s application for

full program adequacy determination

meets all of the statutory and regulatory

requirements established by RCRA for

full program adequacy. Accordingly,

Iowa is granted a full program

determination of adequacy for all parts

of its municipal solid waste landfill

permit program.

Section 4005(a) of RCRA provides that

citizens may use the citizen suit

provisions of section 7002 of RCRA to

enforce the Federal MSWLF criteria in

40 CFR part 258 independent of any

state enforcement program. As the EPA

explained in the preamble to the final

MSWLF criteria, the EPA expects that

any owner or operator complying with

provisions in a state program approved

by the EPA should be considered to be

in compliance with the Federal Criteria.

See 56 FR 50978, 50995 (October 9,

1991) as revised by 57 FR 28626 (June

26, 1992), 58 FR 51536 (October 1,

1993), 60 FR 17649 (April 7, 1995), and

60 FR 40104 (August 7, 1995).

Compliance With Executive Order

12866

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this notice from the

requirements of section 6 of Executive

Order 12866.

Certification Under the Regulatory

Flexibility Act

Pursuant to the provisions of 5 U.S.C.

605(b), I hereby certify that this final

approval will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. It does not

impose any new burdens on small

entities. This notice, therefore, does not

require a regulatory flexibility analysis.

Authority: This notice is issued under the

authority of section 4005 of the Solid Waste

Disposal Act as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6946.

Dated: August 6, 1997.
