40 CFR Part 62

[MO 080-1080b; FRL-6421-5]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; Control of Emissions From Hospital/Medical/
Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWIs); State of Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the state of Missouri's section 111(d) 
plan for controlling emissions from existing HMIWIs. The plan was 
submitted to fulfill the requirements of sections 111 and 129 of the 
Clean Air Act. The state plan establishes emission limits and controls 
for sources constructed on or before June 20, 1996.
    In the final rules section of the Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the state's submittal as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and 
anticipates no relevant adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the 
approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse 
comments are received in response to that rule, no further activity is 
contemplated, and the direct final rule will become effective. If EPA 
receives relevant 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withdrawn, and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 document. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
September 20, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Wayne Kaiser, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Kaiser at [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: August 4, 1999.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region VII.
