SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the Allegheny County, Pennsylvania

submitted on June 24, 1999 by the Pennsylvania Department of 
Environmental Protection (PADEP) on behalf of the Allegheny County 
Health Department (ACHD). The plan establishes emission limitations for 
existing HMIWIs, and provides for the implementation and enforcement of 
those limitations. In the final rules section of the Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the plan. A detailed rationale for the approval is set 
forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in 
response to the direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated 
in relation to this 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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 
rule. 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: Comments must be received in writing by May 8, 2000.
