ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[AZ 063-0029b; FRL-6876-5]


Revisions to the Arizona State Implementation Plan, Pinal County 
Air Quality Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Pinal County Air 
Quality Control District portion of the Arizona State Implementation 
Plan (SIP). These revisions concern sulfur dioxide (SO2) 
emissions from fuel burning installations, sulfite pump mills, and 
fossil fuel fired generators. We are proposing to approve local rules 
to regulate these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended 
in 1990 (CAA or the Act), and to remove one rule from the SIP.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by October 30, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
    You can inspect copies of the submitted SIP revisions and EPA's 
technical support documents (TSDs) at our Region IX office during 
normal business hours. You may also see copies of the submitted SIP 
revisions at the following locations: Arizona Department of 
Environmental Quality, 3033 North Central, Phoenix, AZ 95012.
    Pinal County Air Quality Control District, Building F, 31 North 
Pinal Street, Florence, AZ 85232.

rules:

    In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we 
are approving these local rules and remove one rule in a direct final 
action without prior proposal because we believe these SIP revisions 
are not controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will 
publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the 
comments in subsequent action based on this proposed rule. We do not 
plan to open a second comment period, so anyone interested in 
commenting should do so at this time. If we do not receive adverse 
comments, no further activity is planned. For further information, 
please see the direct final action.

    Dated: August 21, 2000.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
