SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This document concerns the delegation of unchanged NESHAP to the
Maricopa County Air Quality Department, the Nevada Division of
Environmental Protection, and the Washoe County District Health
Department, Air Quality Management Division. In the Rules and
Regulations section of this Federal Register, EPA is amending
regulations to reflect the current delegation status of NESHAP in
Arizona and Nevada. EPA is taking direct final action without prior
proposal because the Agency believes this action is 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. Section 7412.
Dated: January 20, 2010.
Deborah Jordan,
Director, Air Division, Region IX.
