Adequacy of New Hampshire Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Permit 
Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA Region 1 proposes to approve New Hampshire's modification 
of its approved Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Program. On March 22, 
2004, EPA issued final regulations allowing research, development, and 
demonstration (RD&D) permits to be issued to certain municipal solid 
waste landfills by approved states. On June 28, 2010 New Hampshire 
submitted an application to EPA Region 1 seeking Federal approval of 
its RD&D requirements.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing on 
or before November 1, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving New Hampshire's Research Development and 
Demonstration (RD&D) permit program through a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
action and anticipates no adverse comments to this action. Unless we 
get written adverse comments which oppose this approval during the 
comment period, the direct final rule will become effective on the date 
it establishes, and we will not take further action on this proposal. 
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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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. 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. For additional information, see the direct 
rule which is located in the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: August 16, 2010.

Acting Regional Administrator, EPA New England, Region 1.
