27944 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 102 / Friday, May 26, 1995 / Proposed Rules

upon the proposed enhanced

monitoring rule and submitted it to the

Office of Management and budget for

interagency review under Executive

Order 12866. However, in order to

provide an opportunity to reevaluate

this rulemaking, on April 4, 1995, the

Environmental Protection Agency

withdrew the draft final enhanced

monitoring rule from further review by

the Office of Management and Budget.

In addition, the Agency has withdrawn

13 proposed example enhanced

monitoring protocols that had been

placed upon the Technology Transfer

Network in anticipation of promulgation

of final enhanced monitoring rules, in

order to avoid confusion.

One of the first steps the Agency is

taking in considering a possible

restructured rule is to hold the public

meeting on May 31, 1995. At this

meeting the Agency will continue to

work with representatives from

industry, State and local agencies, and

environmental groups in developing a

rule that meets the objectives of the

President’s Environmental Regulation

Reinvention effort. The meeting will

include a number of representative

stakeholders that will sit at the main

meeting table by invitation. The number

of stakeholders who will sit at the table

will be limited to 40; the Agency has

invited a broad representation of

industry, State and local agencies, and

environmental organizations to sit at the

table. Additional seating at the meeting

will be on a first come, first served

basis. It is important to note that the

Agency is seeking the opinions of all

individuals/organizations present and

not seeking consensus. There will be

opportunities for all parties present to

offer their views.

The purpose of the meeting will be to

explain the Agency’s underlying

principles and to solicit opinions from

stakeholders for formulation of new

approaches to enhanced monitoring

rules. One approach being considered

would be to issue a revised proposed

rule in the from of a Compliance

Assurance Monitoring (CAM) Rule that

would focus on improving current

operation and maintenance (O&M)

monitoring requirements. An enhanced

O&M monitoring protocol would require

that a source owner document operation

and maintenance of a control device or

process operation in accordance with

established, reliable operating and

maintenance practices and implement

any necessary corrective action to

ensure that emissions have been

reduced. The Agency is also considering

combining the periodic monitoring

requirements in 40 CFR part 70 with

this CAM rule so that all compliancerelated monitoring requirements would

be integrated in one set of requirements.

To facilitate that approach, EPA also

will consider the option of using any

proposed CAM rule (or publicly

released draft of the rule) as interim

Agency guidance for implementation of

the current periodic monitoring

provisions of part 70. EPA will also

consider other approaches as part of this

review.

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans; for the

District of Columbia—Emission

Statement Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the District of

Columbia for the purpose of establishing

an emission statement program for

stationary sources of volatile organic

compounds (VOCs) and/or nitrogen

oxides (NOx). In the final rules section

of this Federal Register, EPA is

approving the District’s SIP revision as

a direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial SIP revision and

anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for the 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 proposed 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. 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.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing by June 26, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to Thomas

Approval and Promulgation of State

Implementation Plans: Idaho

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

the State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the State of Idaho

on April 14, 1992 for the City of

Pinehurst PM–10 nonattainment area

(59 FR 43745 (August 25, 1994)) as

satisfying certain PM–10 planning

requirements for the area just outside

the City of Pinehurst which was

designated nonattainment in January

1994. In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, the EPA is approving

the State’s SIP revision as a direct final

rule without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

revision amendment and anticipates no

adverse comments. A detailed rationale

for the approval is set forth in the direct
