ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R06-OAR-2015-0033; FRL-9925-20-Region 6]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; Public
Participation for Air Quality Permit Applications
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve two provisions submitted by the State of Texas as revisions to
the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) on July 2, 2010, specific to
the applicability of the public notice requirements to applications for
Plant-Wide Applicability (PAL) permits and standard permits for
concrete batch plants without enhanced controls. Today's proposal and
the accompanying direct final action will complete the rulemaking
process started in our December 13, 2012, proposal and approve the
public notice provisions into the Texas SIP. The EPA is proposing to
convert the public notice applicability provisions for Texas Flexible
Permits from a final conditional approval to a full approval. The EPA
is proposing approval of these revisions
[[Page 16612]]
pursuant to section 110 and parts C and D of the Federal Clean Air Act.
DATES: Written comments should be received on or before April 29, 2015.
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, 214-665-2115,
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as
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 the EPA receives
relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and
those 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. 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 Federal Register.
Dated: March 16, 2015.
Samuel Coleman,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 6.
