ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[MS-15-1-6252b; MS-20-2-9605b; FRL-5401-1]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Mississippi:
Approval of Revisions to the Mississippi State Implementation Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On June 14, 1991, and January 26, 1994, the State of
Mississippi, through the Mississippi Department of Environmental
Quality (MDEQ) submitted revisions to the Mississippi State
Implementation Plan (SIP). These SIP revisions incorporate changes to
Regulation APC-S-1 ``Air Emission Regulations for the Prevention,
Abatement, and Control of Air Contaminants''. The major sections being
revised include: Section 1. General, Section 2. Definitions, Section 3.
Specific Criteria for sources of Particulate Matter, Section 6. New
Sources, Section 8. Provisions for Hazardous Air Pollutants, Section 9.
Stack Height Considerations, and Section 11. Severability.
The regulation amendments and revisions were the subject of public
hearings held on March 27, 1991, and November 24, 1993, and became
state effective on May 28, 1991, and January 9, 1994, respectively. EPA
is approving the amendments to Regulation APC-S-1 ``Air Emission
Regulations for the Prevention, Abatement, and Control of Air
Contaminants'' because these revisions are consistent with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act and EPA guidance.
In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is
approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision
amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for
the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse
comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no further
activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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. The EPA will not institute a second
comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting
on this document should do so at this time.
DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by March 13, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Scott M. Martin,
Regulatory Planning and Development Section, Air Programs Branch, Air,
Pesticides & Toxics Management Division, Region 4 Environmental
Protection Agency, 345 Courtland Street, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30365.
