[Federal Register: June 18, 1996 (Volume 61, Number 118)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 30846-30847] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov]
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 63 [AD-FRL-5521-6] RIN 2060-AD98 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Shipbuilding and Ship Repair (Surface Coating) Operations AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: This action proposes to revise the compliance date for the ``National Emission Standards For Hazardous Air Pollutants For Shipbuilding and Ship Repair (Surface Coating) Operations'' to December 16, 1997. This action also proposes to extend the June 13, 1996 deadline for submittal of implementation plans to December 16, 1996, and to remove the requirement for approval of implementation plans by the EPA. Because the revisions primarily change the date for submittal of an implementation plan and extend the compliance date to allow better coordination with the control techniques guidelines (CTG) that EPA plans to publish in the near future, the EPA does not anticipate receiving adverse comments. Consequently, the revisions are also being issued as a direct final rule in the final rules section of this Federal Register. If no significant and timely adverse comments are received, no further action will be taken with respect to this proposal and the direct final rule will become final on the date provided in that action. DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before July 18, 1996, unless a hearing is requested by June 28, 1996. If a hearing is requested, written comments must be received by August 2, 1996. Public Hearing. Anyone requesting a public hearing must contact the EPA no later than June 28, 1996. If a hearing is held, it will take place on July 3, 1996, beginning at 10:00 a.m. ADDRESSES: Comments. Comments should be submitted to: Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center (6102), Attention Docket Number A-92-11 (see docket section below), Room M-1500, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, D.C. 20460.
