Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Operating 
Permits Program; State of Nebraska

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
and Operating Permits Program revisions submitted by the state of 
Nebraska. This action revises monitoring requirements which were found 
to be less stringent than the applicable Federal rule; adds permits-by-
rule provisions, which would provide a streamlined approach for issuing 
construction/operating permits for hot mix asphalt plants and small 
animal incinerators' and deletes the chemical compound ethylene glycol 
monobutyl ether from the list of regulated hazardous air pollutants in 
Appendices II and III. Approval of these revisions will ensure 
consistency between the state and Federally-approved rules, and ensure 
Federal enforceability of the state's revised air program rules.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
August 9, 2006.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse 
comments to this action. 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 in relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant 
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 action. 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 note that if EPA receives 
adverse comment on part of this rule and if that part can be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of 
the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional 
information, see the direct final rule which is located in the rules 
section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: June 19, 2006.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 7.
