ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[EPA-R01-OAR-2010-1080; A-1-FRL-9311-1]


Approval of the Clean Air Act, Section 112(l), Authority for 
Hazardous Air Pollutants: Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for 
Dry Cleaning Facilities: State of Maine Department of Environmental 
Protection

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve Maine Department of Environmental 
Protection's (``ME DEP'') request to implement and enforce the amended 
Chapter 125 Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaner Regulation as a partial 
substitution for the amended National Emissions Standards for Hazardous 
Air Pollutants for Perchloroethylene Dry Cleaning Facilities (``Dry 
Cleaning NESHAP''), as it applies to area sources. This approval would 
make the ME DEP's amended rule federally enforceable. Major sources and 
dry cleaners installed in a residence between July 13, 2006 and June 
24, 2009 would remain subject to the Federal Dry Cleaning NESHAP.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before June 27, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State of Maine's Section 112(l) 
submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no 
adverse comments. 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 rule, 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. 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.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is 
located in the Rules Section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: May 13, 2011.

Acting Regional Administrator, EPA New England.
