SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register, EPA is authorizing these changes by an immediate
final rule. EPA did not make a proposal prior to the immediate final
rule because we believe this action is not controversial and do not
expect adverse comments that oppose it. We have explained the reasons
for this authorization in the preamble to the immediate final rule.
Unless we get written adverse comments which oppose this authorization
during the comment period, the immediate final rule will become
effective on the date it establishes, and we will not take further
action on this proposal. If we get comments that oppose this action, we
will withdraw the immediate final rule and it will not take immediate
effect. We will then respond to public comments in a later final rule
based on this proposal. You may not have another opportunity for
comment. If you want to comment on this action, you should do so at
this time.
Dated: December 17, 2007.
Robert W. Varney,
Regional Administrator, EPA New England.
