This action approves a modification to Alaska's approved Municipal Solid Waste Landfill (MSWLF) permit program. The approved modification allows the State to issue Research, Development, and Demonstration (RD&D) permits to owners and operators of MSWLFs in accordance with its State law. On March 22, 2004, EPA issued final regulations allowing RD&D permits to be issued to certain MSWLFs by approved States. On September 7, 2010, the State of Alaska submitted an application to EPA Region 10 seeking Federal approval of its RD&D requirements. After thorough review, EPA Region 10 has determined that Alaska's RD&D permit requirements are adequate through this direct final action.
