ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 63

[FRL-6014-6]


Delegation of National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants for Source Categories; State of Nevada; Nevada Division of 
Environmental Protection; Washoe County District Health Department

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA), 
the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) and the Washoe 
County District Health Department (WCDHD) requested delegation of 
specific national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants 
(NESHAPs). WCDHD also requested approval for its program for receiving 
delegation of unchanged NESHAPs applicable to sources not subject to 
Title V of the CAA. In the Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA 
is granting NDEP and WCDHD the authority to implement and enforce 
specified NESHAPs, and is

approving WCDHD's general program for receiving delegation of unchanged 
NESHAPs. The direct final rule also explains the procedure for future 
delegation of NESHAPs to NDEP and WCDHD. EPA is taking direct final 
action without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed 
rationale for this approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If 
no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this document, 
no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. 
If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will 
not take effect and all public comments received will be addressed in a 
subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this proposal. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this proposal should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
June 26, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: 
Andrew Steckel, Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San 
Francisco, CA 94105-3901.
    Copies of the submitted requests are available for public 
inspection at EPA's Region IX office during normal business hours
