Designated Facilities and Pollutants; the District of Columbia; Control 
of Emissions From Existing Hospital/Medical/ Infectious Waste 
Incinerator (HMIWI) Units

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the HMIWI section 111(d)/129 
negative declaration submitted by the District of Columbia Department 
of Health, Environmental Health Administration. The negative 
declaration certifies that HMIWI units, which are subject to the 
requirements of sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), do 
not exist in the District of Columbia air pollution control 
jurisdiction. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 February 3, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to Walter Wilkie, Deputy 
Chief, Air Quality Planning and Information Services Branch, Mailcode

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.
