40 CFR Parts 52 and 81
[FL-75-1-9806b; FRL 6196]
Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes Florida:
Redesignation of the Duval County Sulfur Dioxide Unclassifiable Area to
Attainment
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 28, 1997, the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP) submitted a request for redesignation to attainment
for sulfur dioxide (SO2) in Duval County, Florida. The
redesignation request included five years of quality assured monitoring
data which showed no exceedances of the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) for SO2. Duval County was originally
designated as an unclassifiable area in 1978 due to lack of adequate
monitoring data. Sufficient data have now been collected to make
affirmative declaration of attainment status. The EPA is redesignating
Duval County from unclassifiable to attainment for SO2 and
approving three permits that provide SO2 emission
reductions.
In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving the Florida State Plan submittal as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates that it will not receive any
significant, material, and adverse comments. A detailed rationale for
the approval is set forth in the direct final rule and incorporated
herein. If no significant, material, and adverse comments are received
in response, to this rule, no further activity is contemplated in
relation to this proposed 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by February 8, 1999.
ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to Scott Martin at the EPA
Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to this
proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal
business hours at the following locations. The interested persons
wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the
appropriate office at least 24 hours before the day of the visit.
