40 CFR Part 62

[R06-OAR-2005-OK-0004; FRL-7979-6]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants: Oklahoma; Plan for Controlling Emissions 
From Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the ``State Plan'' submitted by 
the state of Oklahoma on June 29, 2005, to fulfill the requirement of 
sections 111(d)/129 of the Clean Air Act for commercial and industrial 
solid waste incineration (CISWI) units. Specifically, the State Plan 
that EPA is proposing to approve, establishes emission limits for 
organics, carbon monoxide, metals, acid gases and particulate matter 
and compliance schedules for the existing CISWI units located in 
Oklahoma which will reduce the designated pollutants. The State Plan 
establishes monitoring, operating, and recordkeeping requirements for 
commercial and industrial solid waste incinerator (CISWI) units for 
which construction commenced on or before November 30, 1999. In the 
``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving Oklahoma's State Plan 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 by November 3, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Thomas Diggs, Chief, Air 
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross 
Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may be submitted 
electronically, by mail, by facsimile, or through hand delivery/courier 
by following the detailed instructions provided under the ``Public 
Participation'' heading in the Supplemental Information section of 
direct final rule located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Kenneth W. Boyce, Air Planning 
Section, Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, 
Suite 700, Dallas, Texas 75202-2833, at (214) 665-7259 or 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is approving Oklahoma's sections 111(d)/129 
State Plan as a direct final rule without prior proposal because EPA 
views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse 
comment. The EPA has explained its reasons for this approval in the 
preamble to the direct final rule. A detailed rationale for the 
approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments 
are received in response to this action rule, no further activity is 
contemplated. If EPA receives no relevant adverse comment, EPA will not 
take further action on this proposed rule. 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 rule. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period. 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.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule located in 
the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: September 19, 2005.
