CFR Citation: 40 CFR Part 52
EPA ID: [EPA-R07-OAR-2007-1128; FRL-8506-9]
NOTICE: PROPOSED RULES
ACTION: Air quality implementation plans; approval and promulgation; various States:
DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUBJECT CATEGORY: Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Nebraska; Interstate Transport of Pollution
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by January 16, 2008.
DOCUMENT SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a revision to the Nebraska State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for the purpose of approving the Nebraska
Department of Environmental Quality's (NDEQ) actions to address the ``good neighbor'' provisions of the Clean Air Act Section
110(a)(2)(D)(i). These provisions require each state to submit a SIP
that prohibits emissions that adversely affect another state's air
quality through interstate transport. NDEQ has adequately addressed the
four distinct elements related to the impact of interstate transport of
air pollutants. These include prohibiting significant contribution to
downwind nonattainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS), interference with maintenance of the NAAQS, interference with
plans in another state to prevent significant deterioration of air
quality, and efforts of other states to protect visibility. The
requirements for public notification were also met by NDEQ.
SUMMARY: Nebraska,
SUPPLEMENTAL 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[[Page 71298]]
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 If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed action.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 that is located in the rules section of this Federal Register.
