[Federal Register Volume 64, Number 92 (Thursday, May 13, 1999)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 25863] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 99-12002] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 62 [FRL-6340-7] Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants; North Dakota; Control of Emissions From Existing Hazardous/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators
Agency
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Action
Proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
In this action, EPA proposes to approve the North Dakota State Plan for control of air emissions from existing Hazardous/Medical/ Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI). The plan provides for implementation and enforcement of the Emissions Guidelines applicable to each existing HMIWI for which construction was commenced on or before June 20, 1996. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State Plan as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The 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 see the direct final notice of this action located elsewhere in today's Federal Register for a detailed description of the North Dakota State Plan.
Dates
Comments must be postmarked by June 14, 1999.
