SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules Section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal 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 rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should 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.

Ethylene Oxide Emissions Standards 

for Sterilization Facilities 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed decision; request for 

public comment. 

SUMMARY: On December 6, 1994, we 

promulgated Ethylene Oxide Emission 

Standards for Sterilization Facilities (59 

FR 62585). The national emission 

standards limit and control hazardous 

air pollutants (HAP) that are known or 

suspected to cause cancer or have other 

serious health or environmental effect. 

Section 112(f)(2) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) directs EPA to assess the risk 

remaining (residual risk) after the 

application of national emission 

standards controls and revise as 

necessary to protect public health. Also, 

CAA section 112(d)(6) requires us to 

review and to revise the national 

emission standards as necessary by 

taking into account developments in 

practices, processes, and control 

technologies. The proposal announces a 

decision and requests public comments 

on the residual risk assessment and 

technology review for the national 

emission standards. We are proposing 

no further action at this time to revise 

the national emission standards. 

DATES: Comments. Comments must be 

received on or before December 8, 2005. 

Public Hearing. If anyone contacts EPA 

requesting to speak at a public hearing 

by November 8, 2005, a public hearing 

will be held approximately 20 days 

following publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register.

Instructions: Direct your comments to

Docket A–88–03). The EPA’s policy is 

that all comments received will be 

included in the public docket without 

change and may be made available 

online at http://www.epa.gov/edocket, 

including any personal information 

provided, unless the comment includes

restricted by statute. Do not submit 

information that you consider to be CBI 

or otherwise protected through 

EDOCKET, regulations.gov, or e-mail. 

The EPA EDOCKET and the Federal 

regulations.gov Web sites are 

‘‘anonymous access’’ systems, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an e-mail comment directly 

to EPA without going through 

EDOCKET or regulations.gov, your email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the EDOCKET index at 

http://www.epa.gov/edocket. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

is not placed on the Internet and will be 

publicly available only in hard copy 

form. Publicly available docket 

materials are available either
