## Abstract

EPA is approving the sections 111(d)/129 negative declarations submitted by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) on January 8, 2002. These negative declarations adequately certify that there are no existing commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units (CISWIs) or small municipal waste combustors (MWCs) located within the boundaries of the state of Rhode Island. EPA publishes regulations under sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act requiring states to submit control plans to EPA. These state control plans show how states intend to control the emissions of designated pollutants from designated facilities (e.g., CISWIs). The state of Rhode Island submitted these negative declarations in lieu of a state control plan.
