[FRL-6340-7]

 
Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; North Dakota; Control of Emissions From 
Existing Hazardous/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this action, EPA proposes to approve the North Dakota State 
Plan for control of air emissions from existing Hazardous/Medical/
Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI). The plan provides for 
implementation and enforcement of the Emissions Guidelines applicable 
to each existing HMIWI for which construction was commenced on or 
before June 20, 1996. In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State Plan 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 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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and 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 action. Any parties interested in commenting on 
this action should do so at this time. Please see the direct final 
notice of this action located elsewhere in today's Federal Register for 
a detailed description of the North Dakota State Plan.

DATES: Comments must be postmarked by June 14, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
Richard R. Long, Director, Air and Radiation Program (8P-AR), at the
