Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
State of South Dakota; Revisions to the Administrative Rules of South 
Dakota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of South Dakota on August 8, 2006. The 
August 8, 2006 submittal revises the Administrative Rules of South 
Dakota, Air Pollution Control Program, by modifying the chapters 
pertaining to definitions, ambient air quality, air quality episodes, 
operating permits for minor sources, performance testing, control of 
visible emissions, and continuous emission monitoring systems. The 
intended effect of this action is to make these revisions federally 
enforceable. We are also announcing that on July 19, 2007, we updated 
the delegation of authority for the implementation and enforcement of 
the New Source Performance Standards to the State of South Dakota. 
These actions are being taken under sections 110 and 111 of the Clean 
Air Act.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the preamble to 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. 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: Written comments must be received on or before November 13, 
2007.
