Approval of the Clean Air Section 112(I) Program for Hazardous
Air Pollutants and Delegation of Authority to the Oklahoma Department
of Environmental Quality
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) has
submitted updated regulations for receiving delegation of EPA authority
for implementation and enforcement of National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for all sources (both part 70 and
non-part 70 sources). These regulations apply to certain NESHAPs
promulgated by EPA, as amended through September 1, 2004. The
delegation of authority under this action does not apply to sources in
Indian Country. EPA is providing notice proposing to approve the
delegation of certain NESHAPs to ODEQ.
DATES: Written comments must be received by January 12, 2006.
[[Page 73676]]
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Jeff Robinson, Air Permits
Section (6PD-R), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue,
Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may also be submitted
electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following the
detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule
located in the final rules section of the Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Jeff Robinson, Air Permits
Section, Multimedia Planning and Permitting Division (6PD-R), U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region, 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite
700, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, at (214) 665-6435, or at
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving ODEQ's request for delegation of authority
to implement and enforce certain NESHAPs for all sources (both Part 70
and non-Part 70 sources). The ODEQ has adopted certain NESHAPs into
Oklahoma's state regulations. In addition, EPA is waiving its
notification requirements so sources will only need to send
notifications and reports to ODEQA.
The EPA is taking direct final action without prior proposal
because EPA views this is a noncontroversial action and anticipates no
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for this approval is set forth
in the preamble to the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this action 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will be withdrawn, and all public comments received will be addressed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 on this action. 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 served 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 published in the Rules section of this
Federal Register.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7412.
Dated: November 27, 2005.
Carl E. Edlund,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 6.
