[EPA-R07-OAR-2006-0476; FRL-8192-6]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Operating
Permits Program; State of Nebraska
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
and Operating Permits Program revisions submitted by the state of
Nebraska. This action revises monitoring requirements which were found
to be less stringent than the applicable Federal rule; adds permits-by-
rule provisions, which would provide a streamlined approach for issuing
construction/operating permits for hot mix asphalt plants and small
animal incinerators' and deletes the chemical compound ethylene glycol
monobutyl ether from the list of regulated hazardous air pollutants in
Appendices II and III. Approval of these revisions will ensure
consistency between the state and Federally-approved rules, and ensure
Federal enforceability of the state's revised air program rules.
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
August 9, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse
comments to this action. A detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no further activity is
contemplated in relation to this action. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 action. 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. Please note that if EPA receives
adverse comment on part of this rule and if that part can be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of
the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional
information, see the direct final rule which is located in the rules
section of this Federal Register.
Dated: June 19, 2006.
