BILLING CODE 6560–50–P

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[MT–001–0004b; FRL–6122–3]

Approval and Promulgation of State

Plans for Designated Facilities and

Pollutants; Montana; Control of

Landfill Gas Emissions From Existing

Municipal Solid Waste Landfills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to

approve the Montana plan and its

associated regulations for implementing

the Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)

Landfill Emission Guidelines at 40 CFR

part 60, subpart Cc, which were

required pursuant to section 111(d) of

the Clean Air Act (Act). The State’s

plan, which was submitted to EPA on

July 2, 1997, establishes performance

standards for existing MSW landfills

and provides for the implementation

and enforcement of those standards.

In the Final Rules section of this

Federal Register, the EPA is approving

the State’s submittal in a direct final

rule without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

action and anticipates no adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no adverse comments are

received in response to the direct final

rule, 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and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

on this action. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing on or before August 7, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action may be mailed to Vicki Stamper,

8P2–A, at the EPA Region VIII Office

listed. Copies of the documents relevant

to this proposed rule are available for

public inspection during normal

business hours at the Air Program,

Environmental Protection Agency,

Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500,

Denver, Colorado 80202–2466. Copies of

the State documents relevant to this

proposed rule are available for public

inspection at the Montana Department

of Environmental Quality, 1520 East 6th

Avenue, P.O. Box 200901, Helena,

Montana 59620–0901.
