DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUBJECT CATEGORY:
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Corrections to the Arizona and Nevada State Implementation Plans
DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by December 3, 2009.
DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
EPA is proposing to delete certain statutes and rules that were erroneously approved by EPA under the Clean Air Act as part of the Arizona and Nevada state implementation plans. The statutes that are the subject of this proposal are from the Arizona state implementation plan. The rules that are the subject of this proposal were adopted by Pima County Health Department in Arizona and the State Environmental Commission, Clark County District Board of Health, and Washoe County District Board of Health in Nevada. The statutes and rules that EPA is proposing to delete relate to general declarations of policy, advisory committees, variances, and incidental fees and nuisance odors. EPA is proposing to delete these statutes and rules under section 110(k)(6) of the Clean Air Act. EPA is also proposing to correct certain clerical and typographical errors in the codification of the Pima County portion of the Arizona plan.
SUMMARY:
Environmental Protection Agency
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us'' and ``our'' refer to EPA. This proposal addresses a number of statutes and rules that EPA has determined were previously approved in error into the Arizona and Nevada state implementation plans (SIPs). EPA is proposing to delete these statutes and rules from the respective SIPs under section 110(k)(6) of the Clean Air Act, which provides EPA authority to remove these statutes and rules without additional State submission.
In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we are deleting these statutes and rules, and making the necessary corrections to the codification of the Pima County portion of the Arizona state implementation plan, in a direct final action without prior proposal because we believe the deletion of them is not controversial. Please see the direct final action for a list of the specific statutes and rules that are the subject of this action. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the comments in a subsequent action based on this proposed rule. Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further information, please see the direct final action.
Dated: October 19, 2009.
