[EPA-R04-OAR-2006-0130-200714(b); FRL-8317-7]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: State of 
Florida; Prevention of Significant Deterioration Requirements for Power 
Plants Subject to the Florida Power Plant Siting Act

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On February 3, 2006, the State of Florida, through a State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) submittal addressing New Source Review Reform 
(NSR) requirements, requested that EPA grant it full approval to 
implement the State's Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) Prevention of 
Significant Deterioration program for electric power plants subject to 
the Florida Electrical Power Plant Siting Act. EPA is proposing to 
approve this specific request under section 110 of the Act. EPA intends 
to take action on all other portions of Florida's February 3, 2006, NSR 
Reform SIP submittal in a future rulemaking. In the Final Rules section 
of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's request as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial action 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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 on this document. 
Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at 
this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before June 25, 2007.
