40 CFR Part 63

[SC-112L-2004-1-FRL-7623-9]


Approval of Section 112(l) Authority for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants; Equivalency by Permit Provisions; National Emission 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants From the Pulp and Paper 
Industry; State of South Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), South 
Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) 
requested approval to implement and enforce State permit terms and 
conditions that substitute for the National Emission Standards for 
Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Pulp and Paper Industry. In the Rules 
section of this Federal Register, EPA is granting SC DHEC the authority 
to implement and enforce alternative requirements in the form of title 
V permit terms and conditions after EPA has approved the state's 
alternative requirements. A detailed rationale for this approval is set 
forth in the direct final rule. If no significant, material, and 
adverse comments are received in response to this rule, 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 rule. The EPA will 
not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before March 18, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted by mail to: Lee Page, Air Toxics 
Assessment and Implementation Section, Air Toxics and Monitoring 
Branch, Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division; U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency Region 4; 61 Forsyth Street, SW.,

electronically, or through hand delivery/courier. Please follow the
