ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 62
[EPA-R05-OAR-2012-0087; FRL-9663-5]
Direct Final Approval of Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste
Incinerators State Plan for Designated Facilities and Pollutants:
Illinois
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve, through direct final rulemaking,
Illinois' revised State Plan to control air pollutants from Hazardous/
Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI). The Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency submitted the revised State Plan on
November 8, 2011 and supplemented it on December 28, 2011, following
the required public process. The revised State Plan is consistent with
Emission Guidelines promulgated by EPA on October 6, 2009. This
approval means that EPA finds that the revised State Plan meets
applicable Clean Air Act requirements for subject HMIWI units. Once
effective, this approval also makes the revised State Plan Federally
enforceable.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules section of this 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 submittal 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 rule, no
further activity is contemplated. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
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: April 9, 2012.

Regional Administrator, Region 5.
