Proposed Settlement; Municipal Solid

Waste Landfills NSPS and EG

Litigation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement;

request for public comment.

SUMMARY: In accordance with section

113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended

(‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is

hereby given of a proposed settlement in

National Solid Wastes Management

Association v. Browner, et al., No. 96–

1152 (D.C. Cir). This case involves a

challenge to EPA’s rule entitled

‘‘Standards of Performance For New

Stationary Sources and Guidelines for

Control of Existing Sources: Municipal

Solid Waste Landfills,’’ issued on March

12, 1996. 61 FR 9905 (March 12, 1996).

The major action the Environmental

Protection Agency (‘‘Agency’’) would

take under this proposed settlement

would be to propose a subpart-specific

definition of the term ‘‘modification’’ for

landfills. Under this definition, the term

‘‘modification’’ would be defined solely

for landfills as any increase in the

permitted volume design capacity of the

landfill, by either vertical or horizontal

expansion. EPA believes this definition

is consistent with the existing definition

of modification found at 40 CFR 60.14

and, in particular, is consistent with the

exemption at 40 CFR 60.14(e) for

modifications that do not require a

capital expenditure. Other actions to be

taken under the proposed settlement

include a number of technical

corrections and clarifications, including

a clarification of the timing of Title V

permitting obligations for sources

subject to the rule.

For a period of thirty (30) days

following the date of publication of this

notice, the Agency will receive written

comments relating to the settlement

from persons who were not named as

parties to the litigation in question. The

Agency or the Department of Justice

may withhold or withdraw consent to

the proposed settlement if the

comments disclose facts or

circumstances that indicate that such

consent is inappropriate, improper,

inadequate, or inconsistent with the

requirements of the Act. Copies of the

settlement, which includes a draft

rulemaking proposal as an attachment,

are available from Samantha Hooks, Air

And Radiation Division (2344), Office of

General Counsel, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M Street, S.W.,

Washington, D.C. 20460, (202) 260–

3804. Written comments should be sent

to Michael Goo, Air and Radiation

Division, Office of General Counsel,

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

401 M Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.

20460 and must be submitted on or

before December 15, 1997.

Copies of the settlement also are

available through the Technology

Transfer Network (‘‘TTN’’), which is an

Agency electronic bulletin board that

may be accessed by dialing (919) 541–

5472 for up to a 14,400 baud modem;

this service is free except for the cost of

the phone call. The TTN is also

available on the Internet (access: http:/

/ttnwww.rtpnc.epa.gov). If more

information on the TTN is needed, call

the HELP line at (919) 541–5472.

Dated: November 6, 1997.

General Counsel.
