40 CFR Part 62

[EPA-R03-OAR-2010-0771; FRL-9233-5]


Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for 
Designated Facilities and Pollutants; State of Delaware; Control of 
Emissions From Existing Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerator 
(HMIWI) Units, Negative Declaration and Withdrawal of EPA Plan Approval

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State of Delaware's negative 
declaration and request for EPA withdrawal of its section 111(d)/129 
plan (the plan) approval for HMIWI units. Submittal of a negative 
declaration or state plan revision is a requirement of the Clean Air 
Act (CAA). In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State of Delaware's negative declaration and request for 
EPA withdrawal of its plan approval for HMIWI units. 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, no further 
activity is contemplated. If EPA receives 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by December 30, 2010.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R03-OAR-

information provided, unless the comment includes information claimed 
to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information 
that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through 
http:[sol][sol]www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The 
http:[sol][sol]www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' 
system, which means EPA will not know your identity or contact 
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment. If you 
send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without going through 
http:[sol][sol]www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is 
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you 
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name 
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any 
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA 
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid 
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the 
http:[sol][sol]www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, 
some information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other

and will be publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly 
available docket materials are available either electronically in 
http:[sol][sol]www.regulations.gov or in hard copy during normal 
business hours at the Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia,
