ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[KS 105-1105b; FRL-6733-8]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; Control of Emissions From Hospital/Medical/
Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI); State of Kansas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed action.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the state of Kansas' section 111(d) 
plan for controlling emissions from existing HMIWIs. The plan was 
submitted to fulfill the requirements of sections 111 and 129 of the 
Clean Air Act. The state plan establishes emission limits and controls 
for sources constructed on or before June 20, 1996.
    In the final rules section of the Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the state's submittal 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, no further activity 
is contemplated in relation to this action. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all 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 proposed action. Any parties interested in commenting on 
this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by August 14, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Wayne Kaiser, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Kaiser at (913) 551-7603.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: June 20, 2000.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 7.
