ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[PA118-4120b; FRL-7038-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans for 
Designated Facilities and Pollutants; Pennsylvania; Conversion of the 
Conditional Approval of the Pennsylvania Large Municipal Waste 
Combustor (MWC) Plan to Full Approval

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to convert its conditional approval of the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's large municipal waste combustor (MWC) 
plan submitted by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental 
Protection (PADEP) to a full approval. In the Final Rules section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is converting its conditional approval of 
the Commonwealth's MWC plan 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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: Comments must be received in writing by September 19, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to David L. Arnold, Chief, 
Air Quality Planning and Information Services Branch, Mailcode 3AP21, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. 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, Pennsylvania 19103; 
and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Air

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17105-8465.
