ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 52 and 70

[EPA-R07-OAR-2007-0829; FRL-8526-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Operating 
Permits Program; State of Kansas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Kansas State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) for the purpose of revoking the Sulfur 
Compound Emissions rule and for the purpose of approving revisions to a 
Class I major source operating permit annual emissions inventory rule 
and several Class II minor source operating permits rules. EPA is also 
proposing to approve additional amendments adopted by KDHE on February 
20, 1998 which pertain to the Class II operating permit rules. The 
rules were primarily revised to align the annual emission inventory 
reporting date deadline with the June 1 payment of applicable emissions 
fees. EPA's proposed approval of these amendments would ensure 
consistency between the state and the Federally-approved rules.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision and Title V 
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and 
anticipates no relevant adverse comments to this action. A detailed 
rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no 
relevant adverse comments are received in response to this action, no 
further activity is contemplated in relation to this action. 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 action. 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. 
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on part of this rule 
and if that part can be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 
adopt as final those parts of the rule that are not the subject of an 
adverse comment. For additional information, see the direct final rule 
which is located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: January 28, 2008.
