ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[NV 015-MSWb; FRL-6440-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the Nevada State Plan for 
implementing the emissions guidelines applicable to existing municipal 
solid waste (MSW) landfills. The Plan was submitted by the Nevada 
Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) for the State of Nevada to 
satisfy requirements of section 111(d) of the Federal Clean Air Act. In 
the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the 
Nevada State Plan as a direct final rule without prior proposal because 
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates that 
it will not receive any significant, material, and adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no significant, material, and adverse comments are received in 
response to this action, no further activity is contemplated in 
relation to this proposed rule. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 on 
this action.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 20, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Andrew Steckel, 
Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
