[EPA-R03-OAR-2010-0859; FRL-9240-3]
Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for
Designated Facilities and Pollutants; Commonwealth of Virginia; Control
of Emissions From Existing Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste
Incinerator (HMIWI) Units, Negative Declaration and Withdrawal of EPA
Plan Approval
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the Commonwealth of Virginia's
negative declaration and request for EPA withdrawal of its section
111(d)/129 plan (the plan) approval for HMIWI units. Submittal of a
negative declaration or State plan revision is a requirement of the
Clean Air Act (CAA). In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the Commonwealth of Virginia's negative
declaration and request for EPA withdrawal of its plan approval for
HMIWI units. 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, 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do
so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by January 18, 2011.

automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is

any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
