Notice of Determination of
Adequacy of Michigan’s Research,
Development, and Demonstration
(RD&D) Permit Provisions for Municipal
Solid Waste Landfills.
ACTION:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
SUMMARY: On March 22, 2004, the U.S.
EPA issued final regulations allowing
research, development, and
demonstration (RD&D) permits to be
issued to certain municipal solid waste
landfills by approved states (40 CFR
258.4). On May 26, 2006 Michigan
submitted an application to the U.S.
EPA Region 5 seeking Federal approval
of its RD&D requirements per the
procedures in 40 CFR 239.12.
Michigan’s RD&D requirements allow
the State to issue research, development
and demonstration (RD&D) permits to
owners and operators of MSWLF units
in accordance with state law. Subject to
public review and comment, this notice
approves Michigan’s RD&D permit
requirements.
DATES: This determination of RD&D
program adequacy for Michigan will
become effective October 30, 2006
unless adverse comments are received
on or before October 30, 2006. If adverse
comments are received, the U.S. EPA
will review those comments and
publish another FR document
responding to those comments and
either affirming or revising the U.S.
EPA’s initial decision.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should
be sent to Ramon Mendoza, Waste
Management Branch (Mail Code DW–
8J), U.S. EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson
Boulevard, Chicago, IL 60604,
telephone: (312) 886–4314. Comments
may also be submitted electronically to
mendoza.ramon@epa.gov or by
facsimile at (312) 353–4788. You may
examine copies of Michigan’s
application and relevant portions of
Michigan’s regulations during normal

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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
available only in states with approved
MSWLF permit programs that 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.
Michigan’s MSWLF permit program
was approved on April 8, 1997 (62 FR
16804). On May 26, 2006, Michigan
applied for approval of its RD&D permit
provisions. Michigan submitted its
amended laws under Part 115 of Act 451
Sections 324.11511b and 324.11514 for
review.
B. Decision
After a thorough review, U.S. EPA
Region 5 determined that Michigan’s
RD&D permit provisions as defined
under Part 115 of Act 451 Sections
324.11511b and 324.11514 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: August 15, 2006.
