EPA is taking direct final action to amend the location restriction requirements in the criteria for municipal solid waste landfills (MSWLFs). EPA is amending this provision in order to incorporate new landfill siting requirements enacted in the Wendell H. Ford Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (Ford Act). The Ford Act siting restrictions apply to specified smaller public airports to address the potential hazard that birds attracted to MSWLFs may pose to aircraft operations. Today's amendment does not affect existing MSWLFs. EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse comment. However, in the "Proposed Rules" section of today's Federal Register, we are publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to this rule in the event the public chooses to file adverse comments. In that event, we will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule; and, we will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
