ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R06-OAR-2010-0335; FRL-9900-81-Region6]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas;
Procedures for Stringency Determinations and Minor Permit Revisions for
Federal Operating Permits
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve portions of three revisions to the
Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning the Texas Federal
Operating Permits Program. EPA has determined that these SIP revisions,
submitted on December 17, 1999, October 4, 2001 and August 11, 2003,
comply with the Clean Air Act and EPA regulations and are consistent
with EPA policies. This action is being taken under section 110 of the
Act.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 10, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Ms. Adina Wiley, Air Permits
Section (6PD-R), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue,
Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may also be submitted
electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following the
detailed instructions in the Addresses section of the direct final rule
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Adina Wiley, Air Permits Section
(6PD-R), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue,
Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, telephone (214) 665-2115; fax
number (214) 665-6762; email address [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP 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 relevant adverse comments are received in response to this
action, no further activity is contemplated. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 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: August 28, 2013.
