Utah, and Wyoming State Plans for

control of air emissions from existing

Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste

Incinerators (HMIWI). The plans

adverse comments in response to that

direct final rule, we plan to take no

proposed rule. If EPA receives

significant adverse comments, in

writing, which have not been addressed,

we will withdraw the direct final rule

and address all public comments

received in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. The EPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this action. Any parties

interested in commenting on this action

should do so at this time. Please see the

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

the Arizona State Plan for implementing

the emissions guidelines applicable to

existing hospital/medical/infectious

waste incinerators (HMIWIs). The Plan

was submitted by the Arizona

satisfy requirements of sections 111(d)

the Final Rules section of this Federal

State Plan as a direct final rule without

prior proposal because the Agency

views this as a noncontroversial action

and anticipates that it will not receive

any significant, material, and adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no significant, material, and

adverse comments are received in

response to this action, no further

activity is contemplated in relation to

this proposed rule. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all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 action.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing by July 24, 2000.
