ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 75
[FRL-5040-2]
Acid Rain Program: Continuous Emissions Monitoring
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to revise the Continuous Emission Monitoring
(CEM) provisions of the Acid Rain Program for the purpose of making the
implementation of the program more efficient. In the final rules
section of this Federal Register, EPA is revising the CEM provisions as
a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views
these provisions as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the revisions is set forth in
preamble to the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received,
the effective date of the revisions will be October 17, 1994. EPA
believes that these revisions are noncontroversial because they provide
a limited extension to some affected utilities to meet the requirements
of the CEM rule. The extension is beneficial to both the industry and
to EPA in allowing the prioritization of limited resources for assuring
the smooth implementation of the Acid Rain Program.
However, if EPA does receive adverse comments, EPA will publish a
document in the Federal Register withdrawing the direct final rule. All
public comments received will be treated as comments on this proposed
rule and will be addressed in a subsequent final rulemaking notice. The
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this notice. Any
parties interested in commenting on this notice should do so at this
time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before
September 19, 1994.
ADDRESSES: Any written comments on these rule revisions must be
identified with the document control number ``A-94-16'' and must be
submitted in duplicate to: EPA Air Docket (6102), Environmental
Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW, Washington, DC 20460.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sharon Saile, CEM Section Chief, Acid
Rain Division (6204J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20460. (202) 233-9180.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information, see the direct
final rule published in the final rules Section of this Federal
Register.
Dated: August 4, 1994.
