ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 62
[EPA-R03-OAR-2013-0475; FRL-9913-31-Region 3]
Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for
Designated Facilities and Pollutants; Delaware, District of Columbia,
and West Virginia; Control of Emissions From Existing Sewage Sludge
Incinerator Units
AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve Clean Air Act (CAA) negative declarations for the State of
Delaware, the District of Columbia, and the State of West Virginia for
existing sewage sludge incinerator (SSI) units. These negative
declarations certify that SSI units subject to the requirements of
sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA do not exist within the
jurisdictional boundaries of the Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC), the District Department of
the Environment (DDOE), and the West Virginia Department of
Environmental Protection (WVDEP).
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by August 11, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number EPA-
R03-OAR-2013-0475 by one of the following methods:
A. www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.
B. Email: [email protected].
C. Mail: EPA-R03-OAR-2013-0475, Brian Rehn, Acting Associate
Director, Office of Permits and Air Toxics, Mailcode 3AP10, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street,

D. Hand Delivery: At the previously-listed EPA Region III address.
Such deliveries are only accepted during the Docket's normal hours of
operation, and special arrangements should be made for deliveries of
boxed information.
Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R03-OAR-
2013-0475. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change, and may be made available online
at www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided,
unless the comment includes information claimed to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to
be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov or email. The
www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which
means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email comment
directly to EPA without going through www.regulations.gov, your email
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the
comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available either electronically in www.regulations.gov or
in hard copy during normal business hours at the Air Protection
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the submittals are
available at the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Control, 89 Kings Highway, P.O. Box 1401, Dover, Delaware
19903, the District of Columbia Department of the Environment, Air
Quality Division, 1200 1st Street NE., Fifth Floor, Washington, DC
20002, and the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection,
Division of Air Quality, 601 57th Street SE., Charleston, West Virginia
25304.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Gordon, (215) 814-2039, or by
email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register, the EPA is approving these negative declarations
in a direct
[[Page 39361]]
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 action,
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.
For further information regarding the negative declarations for SSI
units submitted by DNREC, DDOE, and WVDEP, please see the information
provided in the direct final action, with the same title, that is
located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register publication.
Dated: June 11, 2014.
W.C. Early,
Acting.
