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.

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).

Expenditure Limitation for House of Representatives Both the national and state party committees have an expenditure limitation for each general election held to fill a seat in the House of Representatives. The formula used to calculate the expenditure limitation in a state with more than one congressional district multiplies the base figure of $10,000 by the price index (3.961), rounding to the nearest $100. Based upon this formula, the expenditure limitation for 2006 House elections in those states is $39,600. The formula used to calculate the expenditure limitation in a state with only one congressional district multiplies the base figure of $20,000 by the price index (3.961), rounding to the nearest $100. Based upon this formula, the expenditure limitation for 2006 House elections in these states is $79,200.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, 2 U.S.C. 431 et seq., as amended by the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, Public Law 107–155, 116 Stat. 81 (March 27, 2002), coordinated party expenditure limits (2 U.S.C. 441a(d)(3)(A) and (B)) are adjusted annually by the consumer price index. See 2 U.S.C. 441a(c)(1). The Commission is publishing this notice to announce the limits for 2006. Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits for 2006 Under 2 U.S.C. 441a(c), the Commission must adjust the expenditure limitations established by 2 U.S.C. 441a(d) (the limits on expenditures by national party committees, State party committees, or their subordinate committees in connection with the general election campaign of candidates for Federal office) annually to account for inflation. This expenditure limitation is increased by the percent difference between the price index, as certified to the Commission by the Secretary of Labor, for the 12 months preceding the beginning of the calendar year and the price index for the base period (calendar year 1974). 2.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

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. On January 20, 2006, EPA published a 
proposed determination of adequacy (71 FR 3293) of Wisconsin's RD&D 
permit requirements. The notice provided a public comment period that 
ended on February 21, 2006. EPA received no comments on the proposed 
adequacy determination.

B. Decision

    After a thorough review, EPA Region 5 has determined 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
