Department on May 16, 2006, to the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air 
Pollution Control District on October 31, 2005, and to the Nevada

to revise the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the current 
delegation status of NESHAPs in Arizona, California, and Nevada.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document concerns the delegation of 
unchanged NESHAPs to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department, the 
San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District, and the 
Nevada Division of Environmental Protection. In the Rules and 
Regulations section of this Federal Register, EPA is amending 
regulations to reflect the current delegation status of NESHAPs in 
Arizona, California, and Nevada. EPA is taking direct final action 
without prior proposal because the Agency believes these actions 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. Please note 
that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or 
section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the 
remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the 
rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
    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.

    Authority: This action is issued under the authority of Section 
112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 7412.

    Dated: June 8, 2006.
Deborah Jordan,
Director, Air Division, Region IX.
