ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

AGENCY

40 CFR PART 60

[AD–FRL–5327–1]

Standards of Performance for

Municipal Waste Combustors

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: This action revises the

‘‘Standards of Performance for

Municipal Waste Combustors’’ (subpart

Ea). These amendments are being made

to improve the clarity of subpart Ea and

to make subpart Ea consistent with

subparts Eb and Cb. Because the

amendments clarify regulatory text and

make subpart Ea consistent with

subparts Eb and Cb, the Agency does

not anticipate receiving adverse

comments. Consequently the

amendments are also being issued as a

direct final rule in the final rules section

of this Federal Register. If no significant

adverse comments are received, no

further action will be taken with respect

to this proposal and the direct final rule

will become final on the date provided

in that action.

DATES: Comments. Comments must be

received on or before January 18, 1996,

unless a public hearing is requested by

December 29, 1995. If a hearing is

requested, written comments must be

received by February 2, 1996.

Public Hearing. Anyone requesting a

public hearing must contact the EPA no

later than December 29, 1995. If a

hearing is held, it will take place on

January 3, 1996, beginning at 10:00 a.m.

ADDRESSES: Comments. Comments

should be submitted (in duplicate, if

possible) to: Air and Radiation Docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If no

significant, adverse comments are

timely received, no further activity is

contemplated in relation to this

proposed rule and the direct final rule

in the final rules section of this Federal

Register notice will automatically go

into effect on the date specified in this

rule. If significant adverse comments are

timely received on any amendment, that

amendment of the direct final rule will

be withdrawn and all public comments

received on that amendment will be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on the relevant portions of this

proposed rule. Because the Agency will

not institute a second comment period

on this proposed rule, any parties

interested in commenting should do so

during this comment period.

For further supplementary

information, the detailed rationale, and

the rule amendments, see the

information provided in the direct final

rule in the final rules section of this

Federal Register.

Paperwork Reduction Act

The information collection

requirements of the previously

promulgated NSPS were submitted to

and approved by the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB). A copy

of this Information Collection Request

(ICR) document (the ICR number is

1506.4, with an OMB approval number

2060–0210) may be obtained from

Sandy Farmer, Regulatory Information

Division (Code 2136), U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency, 401

M Street, SW, Washington, DC 20460 or

by calling (202) 260–2740.

Today’s changes to the NSPS will

have no significant impact on the

information collection burden estimates

made previously. The burden will be

reduced slightly. Consequently, the ICR

has not been revised.

Executive Order 12291 Review

The MWC NSPS promulgated on

February 11, 1991 was considered a

‘‘major rule’’ under Executive Order

12291 and a regulatory impact analysis

(RIA) was prepared. The amendments

issued today clarify the rule and do not

add any additional control

requirements. The EPA concludes these

amendments would have a negligible

impact on the results of the RIA and the

change is considered to be within the

flexibility of the analysis.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980

requires the identification of potentially

adverse impacts of Federal regulations

upon small business entities. The Act

specifically requires the completion of a

regulatory flexibility analysis in those

instances where small business impacts

are possible. Because this rulemaking

imposes no adverse economic impacts,

a regulatory flexibility analysis has not

been prepared.
