ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

revisions to the Monterey Bay Unified

Air Pollution Control District

(MBUAPCD) portion of the California

State Implementation Plan (SIP). These

approve local rules to regulate these

emission sources under the Clean Air

Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the

Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal

must arrive by June 15, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

proposal addresses the following local

rules: MBUAPCD Rules 101 and 102. In

the Rules and Regulations section of this

Federal Register, we are approving

these local rules in a direct final action

without prior proposal because we

believe these SIP revisions are not

controversial. If we receive adverse

comments, however, we will publish a

timely withdrawal of the direct final

rule and address the comments in

subsequent action based on this

proposed rule. We do not plan to open

a second comment period, so anyone

interested in commenting should do so

at this time. If we do not receive adverse

comments, no further activity is

planned. For further information, please

see the direct final action.

Project XL Proposed Site-Specific Rule

for the International Paper

Androscoggin Mill Facility in Jay, ME;

Project XL Draft Final Project

Agreement for Effluent Improvement

Project at International Paper

Androscoggin Mill Facility in Jay, ME

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for

comment on proposed rule and draft

final project agreement.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) today is proposing this

rule to provide site-specific regulatory

flexibility under the Clean Water Act

(CWA) as part of an XL Project with

International Paper’s Androscoggin Mill

pulp and paper manufacturing facility

in Jay, Maine. The site-specific rule

would exempt International Paper

Androscoggin Mill from certain Best

Management Practices (BMPs) required

under CWA regulations. In exchange for

this regulatory flexibility, International

Paper Androscoggin Mill will

implement a series of projects designed

to improve the mill’s effluent quality

and will accept numeric permit limits

corresponding to the expected

improvements in effluent quality. The

terms of the International Paper XL

project are contained in the draft Final

Project Agreement (FPA), on which EPA

is also requesting comment.

DATES: Public Comments: Comments on

the proposed rule and/or FPA must be

received on or before June 15, 2000. All

comments should be submitted in

writing to the address listed.

ADDRESSES: Comments: Written

comments should be mailed to Mr.

Chris Rascher, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, One Congress St.,

Suite 1100, Boston, MA 02114. Please

send an original and two copies of all

comments.
