ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[FRL-6928-5]


Approval of the Clean Air Act, Section 112(l) Program and
Delegation of Authority to the State of Oklahoma

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to take direct final action on section
112(l) program approval and delegation of authority to Oklahoma. The
Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) has requested
delegation of certain Federal National Emission Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants (NESHAP) found in 40 CFR parts 61 and 63.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register,
the EPA is approving ODEQ's program of authorities and resources to
implement and enforce NESHAPs in 40 CFR parts 61 and 63 and General
Provisions as they apply to these sources and the mechanism for
receiving future delegation of unchanged NESHAPs as they apply to non-
part 70 sources. The EPA is granting ODEQ the authority to implement
and enforce specified NESHAPS adopted by reference by ODEQ. The EPA is
taking direct final action without prior proposal because EPA views
this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments.
A detailed rationale for this approval is set forth in the preamble to
the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received, the EPA
will not take further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and it will
not take effect. 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 must do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received by February 8, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments must be submitted to Mr. Robert M. Todd at the
Region 6 office listed below. Copies of the requests for delegation and
other supporting documentation are available for public inspection at
the following location: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6,
Multimedia Planning and Permitting Division (6PD), 1445 Ross Avenue,
Dallas, TX 75202-2733. Anyone wanting to examine these documents should
make an appointment at least two working days in advance.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert M. Todd, U.S. EPA, Region
6, Multimedia Planning and Permitting Division (6PD), 1445 Ross Avenue,
Dallas, TX 75202-2733, (214) 665-2156.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document concerns delegation of
unchanged NESHAPS and Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards
to ODEQ. For additional information, see the direct final rule which is
published in the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Authority: This action is issued under the authority of section
112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7412.

    Dated: December 21, 2000.
Lynda F. Carroll,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 6.
