ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[MS23-200015b; FRL -6574-4]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans For Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants: Mississippi

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to apporve the Section 111(d) Plan for the 
State of Mississippi submitted by the Mississippi Department of 
Environmental Quality (DEQ) on May 5, 1999, for implementing and 
enforcing the Emissions Guidelines applicable to existing Hospital/
Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators. The Plan was submitted by the 
Mississippi DEQ to satisfy certain Federal Clean Air Act requirements. 
In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving 
the Mississippi State Plan submittal as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency

[[Page 18267]]

views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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 
that rule, 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 rule. EPA will not institute a 
second comment period on this action.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by May 8, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Michele Notarianni 
at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents 
relevant to this rule are available for public inspection during normal 
business hours at the following locations. The interested persons 
wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the
