ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[DE001-1001; FRL-7056-8]


Approval of Section 112(l) Authority for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants; State of Delaware; Department of Natural Resources and 
Environmental Control

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 hazardous air pollutant

[[Page 50136]]

general provisions and hazardous air pollutant emission standards for 
perchloroethylene dry cleaning facilities, hard and decorative chromium 
electroplating and chromium anodizing tanks, and industrial process 
cooling towers in place of similar Federal requirements set forth in 
the Code of Federal Regulations. This proposed approval includes 
granting authority to DNREC to implement and enforce any future 
amendments to these provisions and standards that EPA promulgates and 
DNREC adopts unchanged into its regulations. EPA is not waiving its 
notification and reporting requirements under this proposed approval; 
therefore, sources will need to send notifications and reports to both 
DNREC and EPA. 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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 November 1, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be sent concurrently

Mail Code 3AP11, Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection
