>*   Municipal Solid Waste Landfills - EPA Regulation of Air 
>Emissions of Hazardous Substances from Municipal Solid Waste 
>Landfills - EPA has issued a proposed rule that would amend its 
>"Standards of Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills" 
>(Landfills NSPS), its "Emission Guidelines and Compliance Times for 
>Municipal Solid Waste Landfills" (landfills emission guidelines), 
>its "National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: 
>Municipal Solid Waste Landfills" (Landfills NESHAP), and its 
>"Federal Plan Requirements for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills that 
>Commenced Construction Prior to May 30, 1991 and Have Not Been 
>Modified or Reconstructed since May 30, 1991" (landfills Federal 
>plan) - EPA notes that " ... The proposed amendments to the 
>Landfills NSPS are supplemental amendments to those proposed on May 
>23, 2002. Based on public comments on the proposed amendments and 
>additional analysis, we are proposing supplemental amendments to the 
>Landfills NSPS to clarify what constitutes treated landfill gas. We 
>are also proposing amendments to the Landfills NSPS, emission 
>guidelines, Federal plan, and Landfills NESHAP to clarify who is 
>responsible for compliance activities where multiple parties are 
>involved in the ownership or operation of a landfill and the 
>associated landfill gas collection, control, and/or treatment 
>systems. In addition, we are proposing revisions to both the 
>Landfills NSPS and the Landfills NESHAP regarding startup, shutdown, 
>malfunction, and routine maintenance. The proposed amendments to the 
>Landfills NSPS would also serve to amend the emission guidelines and 
>the Federal plan for existing municipal solid waste landfills 
>because these rules incorporate the provisions of the 'Standards of 
>Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills.' We are proposing 
>changes to the emission guidelines and Federal plan themselves to 
>reflect the proposed changes to the Landfills NSPS where these rules 
>did not directly incorporate the provisions of the Landfills NSPS
