ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52 and 70
[R07-OAR-2005-NE-0001; FRL-7893-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Operating
Permits Program; State of Nebraska
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve revisions to the State Implementation
Plan (SIP) and Operating Permits Program submitted by the state of
Nebraska. These revisions provide or incorporate rules for Predictive
Emissions Monitoring Systems (PEMS) in Chapter 34, delete obsolete
footnotes from Appendix III (relating to emissions inventories for
hazardous air pollutants under the state's operating permit program),
correct a mistakenly worded rule in Chapter 20 (relating to process
weight rates for particulate matter from certain sources), and improve
understanding of Chapter 20 by consolidating the process weight rates
into a single table. Approval of these revisions will ensure
consistency between the state and Federally-approved rules, and ensure
Federal enforceability of the state's revised air program rules.
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
May 2, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Shelly Rios-LaLuz, Environmental
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th
[[Page 16472]]
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. Comments may also be submitted
electronically or through hand delivery/courier; please follow the
detailed instructions in the Addresses section of the direct final rule
which is located in the rules section of this Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shelly Rios-LaLuz at (913) 551-7296,
or by e-mail at rios.shelly@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's submittal as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse
comments to this action. A detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no further activity is
contemplated in relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 action. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this
action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives
adverse comment on part of this rule and if that part can be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts 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.
