ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 62
[R06-OAR-2005-OK-0004; FRL-7979-6]
Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated
Facilities and Pollutants: Oklahoma; Plan for Controlling Emissions
From Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the ``State Plan'' submitted by
the state of Oklahoma on June 29, 2005, to fulfill the requirement of
sections 111(d)/129 of the Clean Air Act for commercial and industrial
solid waste incineration (CISWI) units. Specifically, the State Plan
that EPA is proposing to approve, establishes emission limits for
organics, carbon monoxide, metals, acid gases and particulate matter
and compliance schedules for the existing CISWI units located in
Oklahoma which will reduce the designated pollutants. The State Plan
establishes monitoring, operating, and recordkeeping requirements for
commercial and industrial solid waste incinerator (CISWI) units for
which construction commenced on or before November 30, 1999. In the
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving Oklahoma's State Plan submittal, as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take further
action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA
will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA
will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on
this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period
on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received by November 3, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Thomas Diggs, Chief, Air
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross
Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may be submitted
electronically, by mail, by facsimile, or through hand delivery/courier
by following the detailed instructions provided under the ``Public
Participation'' heading in the Supplemental Information section of
direct final rule located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register.

Section, Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue,

[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register, EPA is approving Oklahoma's sections 111(d)/129
State Plan as a direct final rule without prior proposal because EPA
views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse
comment. The EPA has explained its reasons for this approval in the
preamble to the direct final rule. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments
are received in response to this action rule, no further activity is
contemplated. If EPA receives no relevant adverse comment, EPA will not
take further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives relevant
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 must 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 located in
the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.
Dated: September 19, 2005.
