ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[RME Docket Number R08-OAR-2005-ND-0001; FRL-7942-3]
Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality
Implementation Plan Revision for North Dakota; Revisions to the Air
Pollution Control Rules
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to take direct final action approving certain
revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) as submitted by the
Governor of North Dakota with a letter dated April 11, 2003. The
revisions affect certain portions of air pollution control rules
regarding permitting and prevention of significant deterioration. In
the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial SIP
revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for
the approval is set forth in the preamble to the direct final rule. If
EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take further action on
this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw
the direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will address all
public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any
parties interested in commenting must 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.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 7,
2005.
