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final rule will be withdrawn, and all 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.
