maintain oversight of these permits.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's submittal as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a non-
controversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed
rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no
adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further
activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct
final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA
will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in
commenting on this action should do so at this time. Please note that
if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section
of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional information, see
the direct final rule which is located in the Rules section of this
Federal Register.
Dated: March 27, 2007.
Mary A. Gade,
Regional Administrator, Region 5.
