40 CFR Part 52

[FL-74-1-9941b; FRL-6524-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Florida: 
Approval of Revisions to the Florida State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve a revision to the Florida State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on December 26, 1996, by the State 
of Florida through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection 
(FDEP). This source-specific revision amends the SIP to include a 
variance granted to the Harry S. Truman Animal Import Center (HSTAIC) 
for its incinerator facility located in Monroe County, Florida. The 
variance allows HSTAIC to operate under the particulate matter standard 
applicable to biological waste combustion facilities.
    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 Agency 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 action, 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 February 18, 
2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Joey 
LeVasseur at the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 Air Planning 
Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303. Copies of 
documents relative to this action are available for public inspection
