ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[AL52--200014; FRL-6568-5]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving the Section 111(d) Plan for the State of 
Alabama submitted by the Alabama Department of Environmental Management 
(ADEM) on April 20, 1999, for implementing and enforcing the Emissions 
Guidelines applicable to existing Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste 
Incinerators. The Plan was submitted by the ADEM to satisfy certain 
Federal Clean Air Act requirements. In the Final Rules Section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is approving the Alabama State Plan submittal as 
a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency 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 
this rule, 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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. EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by May 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Kimberly Bingham 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 appropriate 
office at least 24 hours before the day of the visit.
