Clean Air Act Proposed Interim

Approval of Operating Permits

Program; San Diego Air Pollution

Control District, California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes interim

approval of the title V operating permits

program submitted by the San Diego Air

Pollution Control District (San Diego or

District) for the purpose of complying

with federal requirements for an

approvable state program to issue

operating permits to all major stationary

sources and to certain other sources.

Today’s action also proposes approval

of San Diego’s mechanism for receiving

delegation of section 112 standards as

promulgated.

In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, EPA is promulgating

interim approval of San Diego’s title V

program as a direct final rule without

prior proposal because EPA views this

submittal as noncontroversial 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 rulemaking. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all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 January

8, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to: Celia

Bloomfield, Operating Permits Section

(A–5–2), Air and Toxics Division, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency,

Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San

Francisco, CA 94105.

EPA’s Technical Support Document,

and other supporting information used

in developing the proposed approval are

Hazardous Waste Management

System; Identification and Listing of

Hazardous Waste; Proposed Exclusion

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule and request for

comment.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA or Agency) today is

proposing to grant a petition submitted

by Bethlehem Steel Corporation

(‘‘BSC’’), Lackawanna, New York, to

exclude (or ‘‘delist’’), on a one-time

basis, certain solid wastes contained in

a landfill from being listed hazardous

wastes. Based on careful analyses of the

waste-specific information provided by

the petitioner, the Agency has

concluded that BSC’s petitioned waste

will not adversely affect human health

and the environment. This action

responds to BSC’s petition to delist

these wastes on a ‘‘generator-specific’’

basis from the hazardous waste lists. If

the proposed decision is finalized, the

petitioned waste will not be subject to

regulation under Subtitle C of the

Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act (RCRA).

The Agency is also proposing the use

of a fate and transport model (the

‘‘EPACML’’ model) to evaluate the

potential impact of the petitioned waste

on human health and the environment,

based on the waste-specific information

provided by the petitioner. Specifically,

EPA proposes to use this model to

predict the concentration of hazardous

constituents that may be released from

the petitioned waste into groundwater if

the petitioned waste is delisted and then

disposed of in a Subtitle D landfill.

DATES: EPA is requesting public

comments on this proposed decision

and on the applicability of the fate and

transport model used to evaluate the

petition. Comments will be accepted

until January 22, 1996. Comments

postmarked after the close of the

comment period will be stamped ‘‘late’’.

Any person may request a hearing on

this proposed decision by filing a

request with the Director, Hazardous

Waste Identification Division, Office of

Solid Waste, whose address appears

below, by December 22, 1995. The

request must contain the information

prescribed in § 260.20(d).

ADDRESSES: Send three copies of your

comments to EPA. Two copies should

be sent to the Docket Clerk, Office of

Solid Waste (Mail Code 5305), U.S.
