SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
On March 22, 2004, EPA issued a
final rule amending the MSWLF criteria
in 40 CFR part 258 to allow for 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
available only in states with approved
MSWLF permit programs that have been
modified to incorporate RD&D permit
authority. On May 10, 2016, the EPA
issued a revision to the regulations
allowing RD&D permits to increase the
number of permit renewals allowed to
six, for a total permit term of up to 21
years (40 CFR 258.4).
While states are not required to
incorporate this new provision, those
states interested in providing RD&D
permits must seek approval from EPA
before issuing such permits. On October
30, 2006, Michigan received approval of
its RD&D permit program (71 FR 51614).
On February 15, 2017, MDEQ submitted
a notification to EPA Region 5 seeking
Federal approval of its revised RD&D
requirements per the procedures in 40
CFR 239.12. Michigan’s revised RD&D
provisions can be found in Part 115 of
the Natural Resources and
Environmental Protection Act as
amended by 2016 PA 437.
B. Decision
EPA has made a determination that
the Michigan RD&D permit provisions
as set out in Part 115 of the Natural
PO 00000
Frm 00035
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Resources and Environmental

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with regulations at 40 CFR
part 53, the EPA evaluates various
methods for monitoring the
concentrations of those ambient air
pollutants for which EPA has
established National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQSs) as set
forth in 40 CFR part 50. Monitoring
methods that are determined to meet
specific requirements for adequacy are
designated by the EPA as either
reference or equivalent methods (as
applicable), thereby permitting their use
under 40 CFR part 58 by States and
other agencies for determining
compliance with the NAAQSs. A list of
all reference or equivalent methods that
have been previously designated by EPA
