Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Location Restrictions for Airport
Safety
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Because EPA received adverse comment, we are withdrawing the
direct final rule for Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Location
Restrictions for Airport Safety. We published the direct final rule on
July 11, 2002 (67 FR 45915)
[[Page 62648]]
to amend the location restriction requirements in the criteria for
municipal solid waste landfills in order to incorporate new landfill
siting requirements enacted in the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment
and Reform Act for the 21st Century. We stated in that Federal Register
document that if we received adverse comment by August 12, 2002, we
would publish a timely notice of withdrawal in the Federal Register. We
subsequently received adverse comment on that direct final rule. We
will address those comments in a subsequent final action based on the
parallel proposal also published on July 11, 2002 (67 FR 45948). As
stated in the parallel proposal, we will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Although EPA is issuing this withdrawal of its
direct final rule, the new siting requirements enacted in the Wendell
H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century
continue to remain in effect.
DATES: As of October 8, 2002, EPA withdraws the direct final rule
published at 67 FR 45915, on July 11, 2002.
