# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    In the Rules and Regulations section of this                     **Federal Register**                    , EPA is approving negative declarations for the State of Maine and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, submitted in accordance with 40 CFR 60.23(b) and 62.06, to satisfy the requirements in the Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units (CISWI Emission Guidelines). Since this action is considered noncontroversial and there are no anticipated adverse comments, the Agency is concurrently publishing it as a proposed rule (allowing opportunity for public comment) and a direct final rule.                     *See*                     CISWI Emission Guidelines amended by 78 FR 9112 (February 7, 2013) and 84 FR 15846 (Apr. 16, 2019). 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. 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 EPA receives 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.                

                    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in the Rules and Regulations Section of this issue of the                     **Federal Register**                    .
