EPA has outlined registration requirements for producers of renewable fuel made from separated MSW in 80.1450(b)(1)(viii), including the requirement for submission of a separation plan. EPA has also developed supplemental questions to better understand where the recyclable materials will be diverted after separation, the recycle goals of the local community, and the existing recycling programs and infrastructure in the region.

EPA believes that public comment on this first plan submission would be beneficial, but EPA may not seek public comment prior to approval or disapproval of future separation plan submissions. The public is specifically invited to comment whether Fiberight’s separation plan incorporates all of the elements required in the regulations and provides for the separation of recyclable cardboard, plastics, rubber, textiles, metals, and glass from MSW to the extent that is reasonably practicable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

(A) Request for Comments

    On October 11, 2011, Fiberight Blairstown Operating, LLC 
(``Fiberight'') submitted a plan to EPA pursuant to 40 CFR 
80.1450(b)(1)(viii) for the separation of recyclable material from 
municipal solid waste (MSW) prior to its use as a feedstock for 
renewable fuel production under the Renewable Fuels Standard Program of 
Clean Air Act Section 211(o). The Fiberight separation plan has been 
placed in the public docket and is available for public comment.
    Fiberight seeks EPA approval that their plan will demonstrate 
ongoing verification that there is separation from MSW of recyclable 
paper, cardboard, plastics, rubber, textiles, metals, and glass wastes 
to the extent reasonably

practicable before the separated MSW is used as a feedstock for biofuel 
production. EPA has outlined registration requirements for producers of 
renewable fuel made from separated MSW in 80.1450(b)(1)(viii), 
including the requirement for submission of a separation plan. EPA has 
also developed supplemental questions to better understand where the 
recyclable materials will be diverted after separation, the recycle 
goals of the local community, and the existing recycling programs and 
infrastructure in the region. Fiberight provided responses to these 
supplemental questions in their plan (referenced in pages 13 to 16 of 
their plan). EPA solicits comments and information to assist EPA in 
evaluating the Fiberight separation plan for possible approval.
    Although EPA's approval or disapproval of the Fiberight separation 
plan will not be conducted through rulemaking, and an opportunity for 
public comment is not legally required prior to EPA action on the plan, 
EPA is soliciting public comment at this time because the Fiberight 
separation plan is the first such plan to be submitted to EPA for 
approval. EPA believes that public comment on this first plan 
submission would be beneficial, but EPA may not seek public comment 
prior to approval or disapproval of future separation plan submissions.
    The public is specifically invited to comment whether Fiberight's 
separation plan incorporates all of the elements required in the 
regulations and provides for the separation of recyclable cardboard, 
plastics, rubber, textiles, metals, and glass from MSW to the extent 
that is reasonably practicable.
