ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 52 and 70
[EPA-R07-OAR-2007-0829; FRL-8526-1]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Operating
Permits Program; State of Kansas
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Kansas State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for the purpose of revoking the Sulfur
Compound Emissions rule and for the purpose of approving revisions to a
Class I major source operating permit annual emissions inventory rule
and several Class II minor source operating permits rules. EPA is also
proposing to approve additional amendments adopted by KDHE on February
20, 1998 which pertain to the Class II operating permit rules. The
rules were primarily revised to align the annual emission inventory
reporting date deadline with the June 1 payment of applicable emissions
fees. EPA's proposed approval of these amendments would ensure
consistency between the state and the Federally-approved rules.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision and Title V
revision 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a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.
Dated: January 28, 2008.
