ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[AZ 42-1-6916b; FRL-5186-8]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Arizona 
State Implementation Plan Revision, Pinal County Air Quality Control 
District; and Section 112(l) Approval of Pinal County Air Quality 
Control District Program for the Issuance of Permits Containing 
Voluntarily Accepted Federally Enforceable Conditions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Arizona State 
Implementation Plan. The revisions concern synthetic minor permit rules 
from the Pinal County Air Quality Control District (Pinal or District). 
The intended effect of approving these synthetic minor regulations is 
to allow facilities to voluntarily accept federally enforceable limits 
on their potential emissions. This approval action will incorporate 
these rules into the federally approved SIP. In order to extend the 
federal enforceability of conditions in permits to hazardous air 
pollutants (HAP), EPA is also proposing to approve Pinal's synthetic 
minor regulations pursuant to section 112 of the Act.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the state's SIP revision and section 112(l) submittal as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for this approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this proposed 
rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. If 
EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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. The EPA will not institute a 
second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
June 1, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to: 
Regina Spindler, Operating Permits Section (A-5-2), Air and Toxics 
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne
