ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[OK-19-1-7453b; FRL-6582-2]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: We propose to approve the section 111(d) Plan submitted by the 
Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality on November 17, 1999, to 
implement and enforce the Emissions Guidelines (EG) for existing 
Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (MWI). The EG require 
States to develop plans to reduce toxic air emissions from all MWIs. In 
the final rules section of this Federal Register, we are approving the 
State Plan as a direct final rule without prior proposal because we 
view this as a noncontroversial 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 rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this 
rule. If we receive 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withdrawn, and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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. We will not 
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. 
Please see the direct final notice of this action located elsewhere in 
today's Federal Register for a detailed description of the Oklahoma 
State Plan.

DATES: Comments must be received by June 1, 2000.

ADDRESSES: You should address comments on this action to Lt. Commander 
Mick Cote, EPA Region 6, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), 1445 Ross 
Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202. Copies of all materials
