Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct final action to modify the State Implementation Rule (``SIR rule''). This modification changes the withdrawal of state permit programs provision in Sec. 239.13 of the SIR rule so that Agency withdrawals of an approved state municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) or conditionally exempt small quantity generator (CESQG) permit program would only apply to the entire approved program. The final SIR, which was published on October 23, 1998, set forth a flexible framework for modifications of approved programs, established procedures for withdrawal of approvals (including withdrawal of a part or parts of a state program), and confirmed the process for future program approvals so that standards that safeguard human health and the environment are maintained (63 FR 57026). Withdrawal of a part or parts of a state program will no longer apply. EPA is also making some technical corrections to the withdrawal provision of the SIR rule.
