ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[Docket No. ID-02-0001; FRL-6580-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste 
Incinerators State Plan for Designated Facilities and Pollutants: Idaho

AGENCY:  Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:  Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY:  The EPA proposes to approve the State of Idaho's section 
111(d) State Plan for controlling emissions from existing Hospital/
Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI). The plan was submitted 
on December 16, 1999, to fulfill the requirements of sections 111(d) 
and 129 of the Clean Air Act. The State Plan adopts and implements the 
Emissions Guidelines applicable to existing HMIWIs, and establishes 
emission limits and controls for sources constructed on or before June 
20, 1996.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving Idaho's State Plan as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and 
anticipates no relevant adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the 
approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse 
comments are received in response to this action, EPA will not take 
action on this proposed rule. If the EPA receives relevant adverse 
comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take 
effect. EPA will then address all public comments received in a 
subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES:  Written comments must be received by May 22, 2000.

ADDRESSES:  Written comments should be addressed to: Catherine Woo, US 
EPA, Region X, Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107), 1200 Sixth Avenue, 
Seattle, WA 98101.
