2004, the EPA issued final regulations allowing RD&D permits to be
issued to certain municipal solid waste landfills by approved states.
On December 11, 2008, Kansas submitted an application to the EPA
seeking Federal approval of its RD&D requirements and to update Federal
approval of its MSWLP program.

October 5, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving Kansas' Research, Development and
Demonstration permit program and updates to the approved Municipal
Solid Waste Landfill Permit (MSWLP) program as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial action and anticipates no relevant adverse comments to
this action. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response
to this action, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this
action. If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final
rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed action. EPA
will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on part of this rule
and if that part can be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may
adopt as final those parts of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment. For additional information, see the direct final rule
which is located in the rules section of this Federal Register.
Dated: August 27, 2009.
