ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve updates to the Code of Federal 
Regulations delegation tables to reflect the current delegation status 
of New Source Performance Standards and National Emission Standards for 
Hazardous Air Pollutants in Arizona and California.

DATES: Comments must be received by May 2, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R09-
OAR-2021-0962 at https://www.regulations.gov, or via email to

public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you 
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia 
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written 
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and 
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA will 
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this issue of the Federal Register, the EPA is approving updates to the 
Code of Federal Regulations delegation tables to reflect the current 
delegation status of New Source Performance Standards and National 
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants in Arizona and 
California. We are approving these updates in a direct final action 
without prior proposal because we believe this action is not 
controversial. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in 
the direct final rule. If we receive adverse comments, however, we will 
publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule and address the 
comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. Please 
note that if the 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, the EPA may adopt as final those 
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
    We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not 
receive adverse comments, no further activity is

planned. For further information, see please see the direct final 
action published in the ``Rules and Regulation'' section of this issue 
of the Federal Register.
