After a thorough review of the request, the Regional Administrator
determined that such a delegation was appropriate for the source
categories with the conditions set forth in the original delegation
letters of these State or Local agencies. All sources subject to the
requirements of 40 CFR Part 60 will now be under the jurisdiction of
the above mentioned State or Local Agencies.
Since review of the pertinent laws, rules, and regulations of these
State or Local Agencies has shown them to be adequate for the
implementation and enforcement of the aforementioned categories of
NSPS, the EPA hereby notifies the public that it has delegated the
authority for the source categories listed on the above various dates.
The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from the
requirements of section 6 of Executive Order 12866.
