ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[SC-38-200102(b); FRL-6973-8]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants: South Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the Section 111(d)/129 Plan for the 
State of South Carolina submitted by the South Carolina Department of 
Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) on September 19, 2000, for 
implementing and enforcing the Emissions Guidelines applicable to 
existing Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators. The Plan was 
submitted by the South Carolina DHEC to satisfy certain Federal Clean 
Air Act requirements. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the South Carolina 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 and 
incorporated by reference herein. If no significant, material, and 
adverse comments are received in response to this proposed 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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.

DATE: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
June 6, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Gregory Crawford at 
the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant 
to this proposed 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.
