ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 70
[AD-FRL-5466-3]
Clean Air Act Interim Approval of Operating Permits Program;
State of Rhode Island
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes source-category limited interim approval of
the Operating Permit Program submitted by the State Rhode Island. Rhode
Island's Operating Permit Program was submitted for the purpose of
complying with Federal requirements which mandate that states develop,
and submit to EPA, programs for issuing operating permits for all major
stationary sources and to certain other sources. In the Final Rules
Section of this Federal Register, EPA is promulgating source-category
limited interim approval of the Rhode Island Operating Permit Program
as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views
this submittal as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments.
A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to that direct
final 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in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 proposal. Any parties
interested in commenting on this proposal should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 5, 1996
ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Ida E. Gagnon, Air Permits,
CAP, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region I, JFK Federal
Building, Boston, MA 02203-2211. Copies of the State's submittal and
other supporting information relevant to this action are available for
inspection during normal business hours at the following location: U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 1, One Congress Street, 11th
floor, Boston, MA 02203.
