ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 52
[EPA-R06-OAR-2008-0192; FRL-9125-8]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas;
Revisions to Chapter 116 Which Relate to the Permit Renewal Application
and Permit Renewal Submittal
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the applicable State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State of Texas which relate to the
Permit Renewal Application and Permit Renewal Submittal regulations.
These portions of the SIP revisions approved today would address
requirements related to the timeline for the submittal of an
application for permit renewal. EPA finds that these changes to the
Texas SIP comply with the Federal Clean Air Act (the Act or CAA) and
EPA regulations, are consistent with EPA policies, and will improve air
quality. This action is being proposed under section 110 and parts C
and D of the Act.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 12, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Jeff Robinson, Chief, 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 rules section of this Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions concerning
today's proposal, please contact Ms. Melanie Magee (6PD-R), Air Permits
Section, Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue
(6PD-R), Suite 1200, Dallas, TX 75202-2733. The telephone number is
(214) 665-7161. Ms. Magee can also be reached via electronic mail at
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no relevant adverse
comments. 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. 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a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
on this action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA
receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of the
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.
