Endangered Species Act (ESA), while at
the same time not placing unnecessary
burden on agriculture and other
pesticide users. The implementation
approach will relay geographically
specific pesticide use limitations to the
pesticide user when necessary to protect
listed species. All pesticide products

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
A. Background
On March 22, 2004, EPA issued a
final rule amending the municipal solid
waste landfill criteria in 40 CFR part
258 to allow for research, development
and demonstration (RD&D) permits. (69
FR 13242). This rule allows for
variances from specified criteria for a
limited period of time, to be
implemented through state-issued
RD&D permits. RD&D permits are only
available in states with approved
MSWLF permit programs which have
been modified to incorporate RD&D
permit authority. While States are not
required to seek approval for this new
provision, those States that are
interested in providing RD&D permits to
owners and operators of MSWLFs must
seek approval from EPA before issuing
such permits. Approval procedures for
new provisions of 40 CFR part 258 are
outlined in 40 CFR 239.12.
Wisconsin’s MSWLF permit program
was approved on November 20, 1996
(61 FR 59096). On November 8, 2005,
Wisconsin applied for approval of its
RD&D permit provisions. Wisconsin
submitted its rules under NR 514.10 for
review.
B. Decision
After a thorough review, U.S. EPA
Region 5 is proposing that Wisconsin’s
RD&D permit provisions as defined
under NR 514.10 are adequate to ensure
compliance with the Federal criteria as
defined at 40 CFR 258.4.
Authority: This action is issued under the
authority of section 2002, 4005 and 4010(c)
of the Solid Waste Disposal Act, as amended,
42 U.S.C. 6912, 6945 and 6949(a).
Dated: January 10, 2006.

Deputy Regional Administrator, U.S. EPA,
Region 5.
