ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 61

[FRL-5269-9]


Interim Approval of Delegation of Authority; National Emission 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Radionuclides; Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to grant interim delegation of authority to the 
state of Washington to implement and enforce two National Emission 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for radionuclides. The 
request for delegation was submitted by the state pursuant to 40 CFR 
63.91 for delegation of federal standards, as promulgated. In the final 
rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is granting interim 
approval of the state's request for delegation as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments. EPA's 
rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no 
adverse comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no 
further activity is contemplated in relation to this 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. Thus, any parties interested in 
commenting on this action should do so in the next 30 days.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
September 1, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Richard Poeton, EPA 
Region 10, AT-082, 1200 6th Avenue, Seattle, Washington 98191 and 
concurrently to Allen W. Conklin, Head, Air Emissions and Defense Waste 
Section, Washington Department of Health, Airdustrial Center Building 
#5, P.O. Box 47827, Olympia, Washington, 98504-7827. Copies of the 
material submitted to EPA are available for public inspection during 
normal business hours at the above locations.

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