ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[FRL-7009-5]


Approval of Section 112(l) Program of Delegation; Ohio

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing 
approval of a request for delegation of the Federal air toxics program. 
The State's mechanism of delegation involves the straight delegation of 
all existing and future section 112 standards unchanged from the 
Federal standards. The actual delegation of authority of individual 
standards, except standards addressed specifically in this action, will 
occur through a mechanism set forth in a memorandum of agreement (MOA) 
between the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OEPA) and EPA. This 
request for approval of a mechanism of delegation encompasses all Part 
70 and non-Part 70 sources subject to a section 112 standard with the 
exception of the Coke Oven standard.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the State's request as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for approving the 
State's request is set forth in the direct final rule. The direct final 
rule will become effective without further notice unless the Agency 
receives relevant adverse written comment on this action. Should the 
Agency receive such comment, it will publish a final rule informing the 
public that the direct final rule will not take effect and such public 
comment received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on 
this proposed rule. If no adverse written comments are received, the 
direct final rule will take effect on the date stated in that document 
and no further activity will be taken on this proposed rule. EPA does 
not plan to institute a second comment period on this action. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before 
August 10, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Pamela Blakley, Chief, 
Permits and Grants Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S.
