ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 60

[EPA-R08-OAR-2014-0272; FRL-9917-48-Region 8]

Automatic Delegation of Authority to the States of Colorado, 
Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming To Implement and 
Enforce New Source Performance Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action informs the public that on February 27, 2014, the 
EPA authorized automatic delegation to implement and enforce Clean Air 
Act New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) to the states of Colorado, 
Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming (hereafter 
Region 8 states). Also in this action, we propose to delete the 
delegation status table of NSPS for Region 8 states in the Code of 
Federal Regulations at 40 CFR part 60.4(c) and replace it with a Web 
page address reflecting current delegation status of Region 8 states.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is approving the revision as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the preamble to the 
direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not 
take further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse 
comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take 
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule 
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so 
at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an 
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may 
be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those 
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. 
See the information provided in the Direct Final action of the same 
title which is located in the Rules and Regulations Section of this 
Federal Register.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.
