Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated
Facilities and Pollutants: New Hampshire; Revised State Plan for Large
and Small Municipal Waste Combustors
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve the Clean Air Act section 111(d)/129 State Plan revisions for
Large and Small Municipal Waste Combustors (MWC) submitted by the New
Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) on January 29,
2009 with amendments submitted on February 13, 2009. The revised Plan
is in response to amended emission guidelines (EGs) and new source
performance standards (NSPS) for Large MWCs promulgated on May 10, 2006
and the strengthening of emission limits on Small MWCs as enacted by
the New Hampshire General Court in 2005. New Hampshire DES's State Plan
is for implementing and enforcing provisions at least as protective as
the EGs applicable to existing Large and Small MWC units.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's State Plan revisions 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 the direct
final 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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: July, 11, 2014.
