ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 62
[EPA-R02-OAR-2017-0338; FRL 9967-41-Region 2]
Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated
Facilities and Pollutants; United States Virgin Islands; Other Solid
Waste Incineration Units
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve
the Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d)/129 negative declaration for the
United States Virgin Islands for other solid waste incineration units.
Other solid waste incineration (OSWI) unit means either a very small
municipal waste combustion unit or an institutional waste incineration
unit. This negative declaration certifies that existing OSWI units
subject to sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA do not exist within the
jurisdiction of the United States Virgin Islands. The EPA is accepting
the negative declaration in accordance with the requirements of the
CAA.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 16, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R02-
OAR-2017-0338 to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located
outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA

Protection Agency, Air Programs Branch, 290 Broadway, New York, New
York 1007-1866 at 212-637-3764 or by email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this issue of
the Federal Register, the EPA is approving the United States Virgin
Island's negative declaration submitted April 18, 2017, as a direct
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as
noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments to this action.
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 action.
If the 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 action. 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.
For additional information, see the direct final rule which is
located in the rules section of this issue of the Federal Register.
