ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[FRL-7100-5]


Delegation of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants for Source Categories; State of Arizona; Arizona Department 
of Environmental Quality

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the 1990 Clean Air Act, EPA 
granted delegation of specific national emission standards for 
hazardous air pollutants (NESHAPs) to the Arizona Department of 
Environmental Quality on March 5, 2001. In the Rules section of this 
Federal Register, EPA is amending regulations to reflect the current 
delegation status of NESHAPs in Arizona. EPA is taking direct final 
action without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed 
rationale for this approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If 
no adverse comments are received, 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting 
should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received by December 17, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Andrew Steckel, 
Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
