ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 52 and 70

[NE 156-1156; FRL-7218-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Operating 
Permit Program; State of Nebraska

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve revisions to the Nebraska State 
Implementation Plan (SIP), Operating Permit Program, and Air Toxics 
Program. These revisions will ensure consistency between the state and 
Federally-approved rules, and ensure Federal enforceability of the 
state's air program. In the final rules section of the Federal 
Register, EPA is approving these revisions as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse 
comments to this action. A detailed rationale for the approval is set 
forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are 
received in response to this action, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant 
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 action. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives 
adverse comment on part of this rule and if that part can be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of 
the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
June 28, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Lynn M. Slugantz, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lynn Slugantz at (913) 551-7883.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: May 16, 2002.
