ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[AZ 42-1-6916b; FRL-5186-8]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Arizona
State Implementation Plan Revision, Pinal County Air Quality Control
District; and Section 112(l) Approval of Pinal County Air Quality
Control District Program for the Issuance of Permits Containing
Voluntarily Accepted Federally Enforceable Conditions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Arizona State
Implementation Plan. The revisions concern synthetic minor permit rules
from the Pinal County Air Quality Control District (Pinal or District).
The intended effect of approving these synthetic minor regulations is
to allow facilities to voluntarily accept federally enforceable limits
on their potential emissions. This approval action will incorporate
these rules into the federally approved SIP. In order to extend the
federal enforceability of conditions in permits to hazardous air
pollutants (HAP), EPA is also proposing to approve Pinal's synthetic
minor regulations pursuant to section 112 of the Act.
In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving the state's SIP revision and section 112(l) submittal as a
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this
as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for this approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this proposed
rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn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. The EPA will not institute a
second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in
commenting on this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by
June 1, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to:
Regina Spindler, Operating Permits Section (A-5-2), Air and Toxics
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne
