The Federal plan is an interim action because on the effective date of an approved State plan or tribal plan, the Federal plan will no longer apply to small MWC units covered by the State or tribal plan. This Federal plan includes the same required elements as a State plan as specified in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B. These elements are: Identification of legal authority; identification of mechanisms for implementation; inventory of affected facilities; emissions inventory; emission limits; compliance schedules; public hearing requirements; reporting and recordkeeping requirements; and public progress reports. EPA adopted emission guidelines for existing small MWC units on December 6, 2000. Existing small MWC units are those units for which construction was commenced on or before August 30, 1999. Sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) require States with existing small MWC units subject to the emission guidelines to submit plans to EPA that implement and enforce the emission guidelines. Indian tribes may submit, but are not required to submit, tribal plans to implement and enforce the emission guidelines in Indian country. State plans were due from States with small MWC units subject to the emission guidelines on December 6, 2001. States without small MWC units subject to the emission guidelines must submit a negative declaration statement by this date. Following receipt of a State plan, EPA has up to 6 months to approve or disapprove the plan. If a State with an existing small MWC unit subject to the emission guidelines does not submit an approvable plan within 2 years of the promulgation of the emission guidelines (i.e., December 6, 2002), sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA require EPA to develop, implement, and enforce a Federal plan for small MWC units located in that State or Tribal jurisdiction. This Federal plan for small MWC units was proposed on June 14, 2001. 68 FR 5144 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2003-01-31/03-99 03-99 fr31ja03-32 RIN 2060-AJ46 6560-50-P AD-FRL-7430-8 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2003-01-31/03-99 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-01-31/html/03-99.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2003-01-31/pdf/03-99.pdf Environmental Protection Air Pollution Control Incorporation by Reference Municipal Waste Combustion 44 p. 5144 5187 68 FR 5144 Title 40 Part 62 40 CFR Part 62 RIN 2060-AJ46 Federal Plan Requirements for Small Municipal Waste Combustion Units Constructed On or Before August 30, 1999; Federal Register Vol. 68, Issue RULE 03-99 VI ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2003-01-31 AD-FRL-7430-8 6560-50-P 03-99 Final rule.
