ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR 62

[Region II Docket No. NY58-253b; FRL-7464-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans for Designated 
Facilities; NY

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve the State plan submitted by New York State to implement and 
enforce the Emission Guidelines (EG) for existing small Municipal Waste 
Combustion (MWC) Units. New York's plan establishes emission limits and 
other requirements for the purpose of reducing toxic air emissions from 
small MWC units throughout the State. New York submitted its plan to 
fulfill the requirements of sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air 
Act. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal, 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 EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take further 
action on this proposed rule.
    If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct 
final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will address all public 
comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The 
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.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before April 14, 2003.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Raymond Werner, Chief, 
Air Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region II Office, 
290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007-1866.
    Copies of the State submittal are available at the following 
addresses for inspection during normal business hours:
