ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[AZ-NESHAPS-131b; FRL-7935-1]


Delegation of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants for Source Categories; State of Arizona; Pima County 
Department of Environmental Quality; State of Nevada; Nevada Division 
of Environmental Protection

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the 1990 Clean Air Act, EPA 
granted delegation of specific national emission standards for 
hazardous air pollutants (NESHAPs) to the Pima County Department of 
Environmental Quality (PDEQ) and the Nevada Division of Environmental 
Protection on December 28, 2004, and April 15, 2005, respectively. EPA 
is proposing to revise regulations to reflect the current delegation 
status of NESHAPs in Arizona and Nevada.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by August 8, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief 
(AIR-4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901, or e-mail to 
[email protected], or submit comments at http://www.regulations.gov. Copies of the request for delegation and other 
supporting documentation are available for public inspection at EPA's 
Region IX office during normal business hours by appointment.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mae Wang, EPA Region IX, (415) 947-
4124, [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document concerns the delegation of 
unchanged NESHAPs to the Pima County Department of Environmental 
Quality and the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection. In the 
Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, EPA is amending 
regulations to reflect the current delegation status of NESHAPs in 
Arizona and Nevada. EPA is taking direct final action without prior 
proposal because the Agency believes these actions are not 
controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will publish 
a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the comments 
in subsequent action based on this proposed rule. Please note that if 
we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of 
this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of 
the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are 
not the subject of an adverse comment.
    We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not 
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further 
information, please see the direct final action.

    Authority: This action is issued under the authority of Section 
112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7412.

    Dated: June 24, 2005.
Deborah Jordan,
Director, Air Division, Region IX.
