entry could play in mitigating adverse

competitive effects of the transaction;

with a printed description and

summary. The electronic version of all

text documents shall be submitted in

WordPerfect Version 6.1, and the

electronic version of all spreadsheet

§ 33.10 Additional information requests by

the Commission.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

a State Implementation Plan (SIP)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

the Missouri state 111(d) plan for

controlling landfill gas emissions from

existing municipal solid waste (MSW)

landfills. The plan was submitted to

fulfill the requirements of the Clean Air

limits for existing MSW landfills, and

provides for the implementation and

enforcement of those limits.

In the final rules section of the

Federal Register, the EPA is approving

the state’s submittal as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

action and anticipates no relevant

adverse comments. A detailed rationale

for the approval is set forth in the direct

final rule. If no relevant adverse

comments are received in response to

this proposed rule, no further activity is

contemplated and the direct final rule

will become effective. If the EPA

receives relevant 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and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. The EPA

will not institute a second comment
