01-31613,West Virginia Regulatory Program,Proposed Rule,"We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) are announcing the opening of a public comment period and an opportunity for public hearing or meeting on the effectiveness of a recently approved amendment to the West Virginia surface mining regulatory program (the West Virginia program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act) to satisfy the Federal requirements regarding an alternative bonding system (ABS). We announced approval of an amendment to the West Virginia program concerning the State's ABS in a final rule document that appears elsewhere in this Federal Register issue. The amendment consisted of changes to the Code of West Virginia (W. Va. Code) as contained in Enrolled Senate Bill 5003, and: established the Special Reclamation Fund Advisory Council; increased the special reclamation tax rate to provide additional revenue for the reclamation of bond forfeiture sites; and deleted language that limited expenditures from the State's ABS for water treatment. We are opening this comment period to provide all interested parties additional time to review the relevant materials and to submit comments on whether the State amendment, as submitted on September 24, 2001, and approved by OSM elsewhere in this Federal Register issue fully resolves all ABS deficiencies and satisfies the required program amendment codified at 30 CFR 948.16(lll). That requirement provides that the State must eliminate the deficit in its ABS and ensure that sufficient money will be available in the future to complete reclamation, including the treatment of polluted water, at all existing and future bond forfeiture sites. We are seeking comment on whether the State's amendment provides a permanent, long-term solution to the State's ABS problems. Comments previously submitted in response to our October 24, 2001 (66 FR 53749), Federal Register notice on the State's amendment need not be resubmitted. This document gives the times and locations that the State's amendment and other relevant documents are available for your inspection, the comment period during which you may submit written comments on whether the amendment fully satisfies all outstanding requirements concerning West Virginia's ABS, and the procedures that we will follow for the public hearing or meeting, if one is requested.",2001-12-28,2001,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/12/28/01-31613/west-virginia-regulatory-program,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-12-28/pdf/01-31613.pdf,Interior Department; Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement Office,"253,480","We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) are announcing the opening of a public comment period and an opportunity for public hearing or meeting on the effectiveness of a recently approved amendment to the West Virginia surface..."

01-31939,Project XL Site-Specific Rulemaking for Implementing Waste Treatment Systems at Two Virginia Landfills,Proposed Rule,"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a site- specific rule to implement a project under the Project XL program, an EPA initiative which encourages regulated entities to achieve better environmental results at decreased costs at their facilities. Today's proposal would provide regulatory flexibility under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, at two Virginia landfills: The Maplewood Recycling and Waste Disposal Facility, located in Amelia County, Virginia (Maplewood Landfill); and the King George County Landfill and Recycling Facility, located in King George County, Virginia (King George Landfill). The Maplewood Landfill is owned and operated by USA Waste of Virginia, Inc., and the King George Landfill is owned by King George County and operated by King George Landfills, Inc. USA Waste of Virginia, Inc. and King George Landfills, Inc. are both subsidiaries of Waste Management, Inc., and will be referred to collectively as ""Waste Management."" Maplewood Landfill and King George Landfill, both of which are municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs), will be referred to collectively as the ""Virginia Project XL Landfills"". On September 29, 2000, EPA, USA Waste of Virginia, Inc., and King George Landfills, Inc., signed the Final Project Agreement (FPA) for this project, which would allow the addition of liquids to the landfills. This addition of liquids is expected to accelerate the biodegradation of landfill waste, decrease the time it takes for the waste to reach stabilization in the landfill, facilitate the management of leachate and other liquid wastes, and promote recovery of landfill gas. The principal objectives of this XL project are to demonstrate that the alternative liners installed at the Virginia Project XL Landfills are as protective as the liner prescribed in EPA MSWLF regulations over which leachate recirculation is allowed under existing RCRA regulations, and to assess the effects of applying differing amounts of liquids to landfills. In order to carry out this project, Waste Management will need relief from certain requirements in EPA regulations which set forth design and operating criteria for MSWLFs, requirements which would otherwise preclude the addition of liquids at these landfills. Today's proposed rule would allow the Virginia Landfills to apply collected, non-containerized non-hazardous bulk liquids (including landfill leachate, as further described as follows) to the landfills. This proposed rule would require compliance with each of the design, monitoring, record keeping, reporting, and operational requirements contained in this proposed rule, as well as MSWLF regulations not affected by this rule. Upon completion of the rulemaking, these requirements and conditions would be enforceable in the same way that current RCRA standards for solid waste landfills are enforceable to ensure that management of non-hazardous solid waste is performed in a manner that is protective of human health and the environment. Today's proposed rulemaking would not affect the provisions or applicability of any other existing or future regulations. The Virginia XL Project Landfills comprise two of several landfills, located in different geographic and climactic regions across the country, that are testing bioreactor technology under Project XL. The bioreactor approach planned for the King George County Landfill involves application of about twice the quantity of liquid that is applied at the Maplewood Landfill. Other XL projects which are testing bioreactor techniques included the Yolo County, California XL Project (final rule published in the Federal Register at 66 FR 42441, August 13, 2001), and the Buncombe County, North Carolina XL Project (final rule published in the Federal Register at 66 FR 44061, August 22, 2001).",2001-12-28,2001,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/12/28/01-31939/project-xl-site-specific-rulemaking-for-implementing-waste-treatment-systems-at-two-virginia,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-12-28/pdf/01-31939.pdf,Environmental Protection Agency,145,"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a site- specific rule to implement a project under the Project XL program, an EPA initiative which encourages regulated entities to achieve better environmental results at decreased costs at their..."
01-31944,Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants: Negative Declarations; Municipal Waste Combustion; Arizona; California; Hawaii; Nevada,Proposed Rule,"EPA is proposing to approve the small Municipal Waste Combustion (MWC) units section 111(d) plan negative declarations submitted by the States of Arizona, California, Hawaii, and Nevada. These negative declarations certify that small MWC units subject to the requirements of sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act do not exist in these States. In the Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving each State's negative declaration as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as noncontroversial and anticipates no relevant adverse comments to this action. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. 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 rulemaking based on this proposed action.

01-31306,Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Listing the Tumbling Creek Cavesnail as Endangered,Proposed Rule,"We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Tumbling Creek cavesnail, Antrobia culveri, as endangered pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). An emergency rule listing this species as endangered for 240 days is published concurrently in this issue of the Federal Register. This species is known to occur in one cave in Missouri. The distribution of this species has decreased in Tumbling Creek by 90 percent since 1974. Although cavesnail numbers fluctuated seasonally and annually between 1996 and 2000, it was not found in the monitored section of the cave stream during five surveys in 2001. A few individuals continue to be found in an upstream area, but the population has declined so drastically that the species is on the verge of extinction. Reasons for the decline are unknown, but are likely caused by activities in Tumbling Creek Cave's surface recharge area that have degraded the stream's water quality. Critical habitat is not being proposed at this time. We solicit additional data, information, and comments from the public that may assist us in making a final decision on this proposed action.",2001-12-27,2001,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/12/27/01-31306/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-listing-the-tumbling-creek-cavesnail-as-endangered,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-12-27/pdf/01-31306.pdf,Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service,"253,197","We, the Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to list the Tumbling Creek cavesnail, Antrobia culveri, as endangered pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act).

This action pertains only to affected sources, as defined by the Clean Air Act's hazardous air pollutant program. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the District of Columbia's request for delegation of authority as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments.

On November 29, 1993, we published a rule proposing threatened status for the flat- tailed horned lizard, pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act). On July 15, 1997, we withdrew the proposed rule to list the flat-tailed horned lizard as threatened based on information available at that time. On July 31, 2001, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated an earlier ruling from the District Court for the Southern District of California that upheld the withdrawal of the proposed listing of the lizard as threatened. Moreover, the Ninth Circuit directed the District Court to remand the withdrawal decision to the Service for consideration in accord with the legal standards outlined in its opinion. On October 24, 2001, the District Court remanded the matter to the Service and, with the parties consent, ordered the Service to reinstate the 1993 proposed listing for the flat-tailed horned lizard within 60 calendar days, and complete the final listing decision within 12 months from the date of reinstatement. Consequently, we are hereby providing notice that the 1993 proposed rule for the flat-tailed horned lizard is reinstated, and that we will complete a final listing decision for the flat-tailed horned lizard by December 26, 2002.

01-31010,National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing Plants and Phosphate Fertilizers Production Plants,Proposed Rule,"The EPA is proposing to amend the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for phosphoric acid manufacturing plants and the NESHAP for phosphate fertilizers production plants which were promulgated on June 10, 1999 under authority of section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This action proposes to amend specific provisions in the NESHAP to resolve issues and questions raised after promulgation of the NESHAP. The proposed amendments would revise the emissions limit for phosphate rock calciners and clarify several provisions regarding parameter monitoring and the applicability of the general provisions. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are making the corrections in a direct final rule, without prior proposal, because we view the revisions as noncontroversial, and we anticipate no adverse comments. We have explained our reasons for the corrections in the preamble to the direct final rule. If we receive no adverse comments, we will take no further action on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register. All public comments will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment period on that subsequent final rule. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.",2001-12-17,2001,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/12/17/01-31010/national-emission-standards-for-hazardous-air-pollutants-from-phosphoric-acid-manufacturing-plants,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-12-17/pdf/01-31010.pdf,Environmental Protection Agency,145,"The EPA is proposing to amend the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for phosphoric acid manufacturing plants and the NESHAP for phosphate fertilizers production plants which were promulgated on June 10, 1999 under..."

01-31042,Airworthiness Directives; MD Helicopters Inc. Model MD-900 Helicopters,Proposed Rule,"This document proposes superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for MD Helicopters Inc. Model MD-900 helicopters. That AD currently requires inspecting the main rotor upper hub assembly drive plate attachment flange (flange), determining the torque of each flange nut (nut), and if a crack is found, before further flight, replacing the hub assembly. In addition to the current requirements, this action would require visually inspecting the outer surface of the flange at specified intervals and removing the drive plate and visually inspecting the flange for a crack at specified intervals and replacing any unairworthy hub assembly. This proposal is prompted by reports that cracks starting at the drive plate attachment holes were found in the main rotor hub. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to detect a crack in the flange and to prevent failure of the hub assembly, loss of drive to the main rotor, and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.",2001-12-17,2001,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/12/17/01-31042/airworthiness-directives-md-helicopters-inc-model-md-900-helicopters,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-12-17/pdf/01-31042.pdf,Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration,"492,159","This document proposes superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD) for MD Helicopters Inc.

01-31165,Indoor Air Quality,Proposed Rule,"OSHA is withdrawing its Indoor Air Quality proposal and terminating the rulemaking proceeding. In the years since the proposal was issued, a great many state and local governments and private employers have taken action to curtail smoking in public areas and in workplaces. In addition, the portion of the proposal not related to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) received little attention during the rulemaking proceedings, and much of that consisted of commenters calling into question significant portions of the proposal. As a result, record evidence supporting the non-ETS portion of the proposal is sparse. Withdrawal of this proposal will also allow the Agency to devote its resources to other projects. The Agency's current regulatory priorities, as set forth in the Regulatory Agenda, include a number of important occupational safety and health standards. This document does not preclude any agency action that OSHA may find to be appropriate in the future.",2001-12-17,2001,12,https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2001/12/17/01-31165/indoor-air-quality,https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2001-12-17/pdf/01-31165.pdf,Labor Department; Occupational Safety and Health Administration,"271,386","OSHA is withdrawing its Indoor Air Quality proposal and terminating the rulemaking proceeding.

01-30815,Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Wisconsin; Automobile Refinishing Operations,Proposed Rule,"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a February 1, 2001, request from Wisconsin to revise its State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. Wisconsin's submittal revises the state's regulations to control volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from automobile refinishing operations. In addition, on July 31, 2001, Wisconsin submitted a SIP revision that, among other things, renumbers a portion of the regulations submitted on February 1, 2001. EPA acted on the majority of the July 31, 2001 submittal in our approval of the state's one-hour ozone attainment demonstration. We are addressing the renumbering portion of that submittal with this proposed action. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision, as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If we receive no adverse comments in response to that direct final rule, we plan to take no further action in relation to this proposed rule. If we receive significant adverse comments, in writing, which we have not addressed, we will withdraw the direct final rule and address all public comments received in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.
