{"abstract":"The EPA is approving the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's (NJDEP) request for delegation of authority to implement and enforce the Federal Plan for Large Municipal Waste Combustors (MWC). On November 12, 1998, EPA promulgated the Federal Plan to fulfill the requirements of sections 111(d)/129 of the Clean Air Act for MWCs. The Federal Plan addresses the implementation and enforcement of the emissions guidelines applicable to existing large MWC units located in areas not covered by an approved and currently effective state plan. The Federal Plan imposes emission limits and control requirements for existing MWC units with individual capacity to combust more than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste which will reduce the designated pollutants: particulate matter, opacity, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, lead, cadmium, mercury, and dioxins and dibenzofurans. On January 24, 2001, EPA and NJDEP signed a Memoranda of Agreement which is intended to be the mechanism for the transfer of authority between the EPA and the NJDEP and defines the policies, responsibilities, and procedures pursuant to the Federal Plan for large MWCs.","action":"Direct final rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2003/03/06/03-5321.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":62,"title":40}],"citation":"68 FR 10661","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2003-04-07","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"This direct final rule is effective on May 5, 2003 without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by April 7, 2003.
