ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[OK-15-1-7399b: FRL-6183-6]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants: Oklahoma

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA is approving the Oklahoma State Plan for control of 
air emissions from existing municipal waste combustors. The plan 
provides for implementation and enforcement of the Emissions Guidelines 
applicable to existing Municipal Waste Combustors with capacity to 
combust more than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste. In the 
final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the 
State Plan as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial 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 action, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this 
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withdrawn, and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 action. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. 
Please see the direct final rule located elsewhere in today's Federal 
Register for a detailed description of the Oklahoma State Plan.

DATES: Comments must be received by December 7, 1998. If no adverse 
comments are received, then the direct final rule is effective on 
January 5, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), at the EPA 
Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to this 
proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal 
business hours at the following locations. Interested persons wanting 
to examine these documents should make an appointment with the
