Alaska: Adequacy of Alaska Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Permit Program
Document Number: 2010-33196
Type: Rule
Date: 2011-01-04
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
This action approves a modification to Alaska's approved Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) permit program. The approved modification allows the State to issue Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) permits to owners and operators of MSWLFs in accordance with its State law. On March 22, 2004, EPA issued final regulations allowing RD&D permits to be issued to certain MSWLFs by approved States. On September 7, 2010, the State of Alaska submitted an application to EPA Region 10 seeking Federal approval of its RD&D requirements. After thorough review, EPA Region 10 has determined that Alaska's RD&D permit requirements are adequate through this direct final action.

EPA is proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval of revisions to the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP).

Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
Notice is hereby given that the State of Washington has revised its approved State Public Water Supply Supervision Primacy Program. Washington has adopted a definition for public water system that is analogous to EPA's definition of public water system, and has adopted regulations analogous to EPA's Consumer Confidence Report Rule, Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, Stage 1 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, Lead and Copper Minor Revisions Rule, Public Notification Rule, Radionuclides Rule, Arsenic Rule, Filter Backwash Rule, Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, Variance and Exemptions Rule, Stage 2 Disinfectants and Disinfection Byproducts Rule, Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule, and Ground Water Rule.

By approving these rules, EPA does not intend to affect the rights of Federally recognized Indian Tribes within ``Indian country'' as defined by 18 U.S.C. 1151, nor does it intend to limit existing rights of the State of Washington.
Inquiry To Learn Whether Businesses Assert Business Confidentiality Claims
Document Number: 2010-33188
Type: Notice
Date: 2011-01-04
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) receives from time to time Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for documentation received or issued by EPA or data contained in EPA database systems pertaining to the export and import of Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) hazardous waste from/to the United States, the export of cathode ray tubes (CRTs) and spent lead acid batteries (SLABs) from the United States, and the export and import of RCRA universal waste from/to the United States. These documents and data may identify or reference multiple parties, and describe transactions involving the movement of specified materials in which the parties propose to participate or have participated. The purpose of this notice is to inform ``affected businesses'' about the documents or data sought by these types of FOIA requests in order to provide the businesses with the opportunity to assert claims that any of the information sought that pertains to them is entitled to treatment as confidential business information (CBI), and to send comments to EPA supporting their claims for such treatment. Certain businesses, however, do not meet the definition of ``affected business,'' and are not covered by today's notice. They consist of any business that actually submitted to EPA any document at issue pursuant to applicable RCRA regulatory requirements and did not assert a CBI claim as to information that pertains to that business in connection with the document at the time of its submission; they have waived their right to do so at a later time. Nevertheless, other businesses identified or referenced in the documents that were submitted to EPA by the submitting business may have a right to assert a CBI claim concerning information that pertains to them and may do so in response to this notice.
