ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[DE001-1000; FRL-6988-2]


Approval of Section 112(l) Authority for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants; Chemical Accident Prevention Provisions and Risk Management 
Plans; Delaware; Approval of Accidental Release Prevention Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the Delaware Department of Natural 
Resources and Environmental Control's (DNREC's) request to implement 
and enforce its accidental release prevention program in place of 
similar Federal requirements. In the Final Rules section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's request for rule 
approval as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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 action, no further activity is contemplated. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do 
so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before July 9, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be sent concurrently 
to: Makeba A. Morris, Chief, Permits and Technical Assessment Branch, 
Mail Code 3AP11, Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103-2029 and 
Robert A. Barrish, Delaware Department of Natural Resources and 
Environmental Control, Division of Air and Waste Management, 715 
Grantham Lane, New Castle, DE 19720. Copies of the documents relevant 
to this action are available for public inspection during normal 
business hours at the Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia,
