ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R09-OAR-2006-0548b; FRL-8225-6]
Revisions to the Nevada State Implementation Plan, Clark County
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Clark County
portion of the Nevada State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions
concern particulate matter (PM) emissions from fugitive dust sources,
such as open areas, unpaved roads, and construction activities. We are
proposing to approve local rules to regulate these emission sources
under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).
DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by November 29, 2006.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2006-0548b, by one of the following methods:
1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-
line instructions.
2. E-mail: steckel.andrew@epa.gov.
3. Mail or deliver: Andrew Steckel (Air-4), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA
94105-3901.
Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket
without change and may be made available online at http://www.regulations.gov,
including any personal information provided, unless the comment
includes Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information that you
consider CBI or otherwise protected should be clearly identified as
such and should not be submitted through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail.
http://www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous access'' system, and EPA will not
know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the
body of your comment. If you send e-mail directly to EPA, your e-mail
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the
public comment. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical
difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be
able to consider your comment.
Docket: The index to the docket for this action is available
electronically at http://www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region
IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents
in the docket are listed in the index, some information may be publicly
available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material),
and some may not be publicly available in either location (e.g., CBI).
To inspect the hard copy materials, please schedule an appointment
during normal business hours with the contact listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

either (415) 947-4111, or wamsley.jerry@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following Clark
County rules: Section 90--Fugitive Dust from Open Areas and Vacant
Lots; Section 92--Fugitive Dust from Unpaved Parking Lots, Material
Handling and Storage Yards, and Vehicle and Equipment Storage Yards;
Section 93--Fugitive Dust from Paved Roads and Street Sweeping
Equipment; and, Section 94--Permitting and Dust Control for
Construction Activities. In the Rules and Regulations section of this
Federal Register, we are approving these local rules in a direct final
action without prior proposal because we believe these SIP revisions
are not controversial. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will
publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the
comments in subsequent action based on this proposed rule. Please note
that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or
section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the
rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further
information, please see the direct final action.
Dated: July 27, 2006.
Wayne Nastri,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
