ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2006-0130-201111(b); FRL-9293-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: Florida; 
Prevention of Significant Deterioration

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to convert a conditional approval of 
provisions in the Florida State Implementation Plan (SIP) to a full 
approval under the federal Clean Air Act (CAA). On June 17, 2009, the 
State of Florida, through the Florida Department of Environmental 
Protection, submitted a SIP revision in response to the conditional 
approval of its New Source Review (NSR) permitting program. The 
revision includes changes to certain parts of the Prevention of 
Significant Deterioration construction permit program in Florida, 
including the definition of ``new emissions unit,'' ``regulated air 
pollutant'' and ``significant emissions rate'' as well as recordkeeping 
requirements. In addition, Florida provided a clarification that the 
significant emissions rate for mercury in the Florida regulations is 
intended to apply as a state-only provision. EPA has determined that 
this revision addresses the conditions identified in the

[[Page 20297]]

conditional approval, and is therefore approvable. In the Final Rules 
section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP 
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no 
adverse comments. This proposed action is being taken pursuant to 
section 110 of the CAA.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 12, 2011.
