Delegation of New Source Performance Standards and National

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve updates for delegation of certain 
federal standards to state and local agencies in Region IX for 
delegation of New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), and National 
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs). This 
document is addressing general authorities mentioned in the regulations 
for NSPS and NESHAPs, proposing to update the delegations tables and 
clarifying those authorities that are retained by EPA.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by February 16, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901, or e-mail to 
[email protected], or submit comments at http://www.regulation.gov.
    Please contact Cynthia G. Allen at (415) 947-4120 to arrange a time 
if inspection of the supporting information is desired.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cynthia G. Allen at (415) 947-4120, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, Rulemaking Office 
(Air-4), 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal updates the delegation tables 
in 40 CFR parts 60 and 61, to allow easier access by the public to the 
status of local jurisdictions. In the Rules and Regulations section of 
this Federal Register, we are updating these delegations tables in a 
direct final action without prior proposal because we believe these 
delegations are not controversial. If we receive adverse comments, 
however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule 
and address the comments in subsequent action based on this proposed 
rule.
    We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 
interested in commenting should do so at this

time. If we do not receive adverse comments, no further activity is 
planned. For further information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: November 21, 2005.
Kerry Drake,
Acting Director, Air Division Region IX.
