ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[R03-OAR-2005-PA-0001; FRL-7880-5]


Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for 
Designated Facilities and Pollutants, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; 
Delegation of Authority

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve delegation of the Federal plan for 
commercial and industrial solid waste incinerator (CISWI) units to both 
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and the 
Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD). In the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of the Federal Register, EPA is announcing its 
approval of the requests for delegation of the Federal plan without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for 
the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If EPA receives 
adverse comments, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal 
Register informing the public that the rule did not take effect. EPA 
will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on 
the proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this 
time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions 
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by April 4, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Regional Material in 
EDocket (RME) ID Number R03-OAR-2005-PA-0001 by one of the following 
methods:
    A. Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow 
the on-line instructions for submitting comments.
    B. Agency Web site: http://www.docket.epa.gov/rmepub/ RME, EPA's 
electronic public docket and comment system, is EPA's preferred method 
for receiving comments. Follow the on-line instructions for submitting 
comments.
    C. E-mail: http://[email protected].
    D. Mail: R03-OAR-2005-PA-0001, Walter Wilkie, Chief, Air Quality

    E. Hand Delivery: At the previously-listed EPA Region III address. 
Such deliveries are only accepted during the Docket's normal hours of

    Instructions: Direct your comments to RME ID No. R03-OAR-2005-PA-
0001. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in 
the public docket without change, and may be made available online at 
http://www.docket.epa.gov/rmepub/, including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through RME, regulations.gov 
or e-mail. The EPA RME and the Federal regulations.gov Web sites are an 
``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through RME or regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is 
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you 
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name 
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any 
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA 
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid 
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses.
