Sec. 60.27  Actions by the Administrator.



    (a) The Administrator may, whenever he determines necessary, extend 

the period for submission of any plan or plan revision or portion 

thereof.

    (b) After receipt of a plan or plan revision, the Administrator will 

propose the plan or revision for approval or disapproval. The 

Administrator will, within four months after the date required for 

submission of a plan or plan revision, approve or disapprove such plan 

or revision or each portion thereof.

    (c) The Administrator will, after consideration of any State hearing 

record, promptly prepare and publish proposed regulations setting forth 

a plan, or portion thereof, for a State if:

    (1) The State fails to submit a plan within the time prescribed;

    (2) The State fails to submit a plan revision required by Sec. 

60.23(a)(2) within the time prescribed; or

    (3) The Administrator disapproves the State plan or plan revision or 

any portion thereof, as unsatisfactory because the requirements of this 

subpart have not been met.

    (d) The Administrator will, within six months after the date 

required for submission of a plan or plan revision, promulgate the 

regulations proposed under paragraph (c) of this section with such 

modifications as may be appropriate unless, prior to such promulgation, 

the State has adopted and submitted a plan or plan revision which the 

Administrator determines to be approvable.

    (e)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (e)(2) of this section, 

regulations proposed and promulgated by the Administrator under this 

section will prescribe emission standards of the same stringency as the 

corresponding emission guideline(s) specified in the final guideline 

document published under Sec. 60.22(a) and will require final 

compliance with such standards as expeditiously as practicable but no 

later than the times specified in the guideline document.

    (2) Upon application by the owner or operator of a designated 

facility to which regulations proposed and promulgated under this 

section will apply, the Administrator may provide for the application of 

less stringent emission standards or longer compliance schedules than 

those otherwise required by this section in accordance with the criteria 

specified in Sec. 60.24(f).

    (f) Prior to promulgation of a plan under paragraph (d) of this 

section, the Administrator will provide the opportunity for at least one 

public hearing in either:

    (1) Each State that failed to hold a public hearing as required by 

Sec. 60.23(c); or

    (2) Washington, DC or an alternate location specified in the Federal 

Register.
