Pollutants for Source Categories; State of Arizona, Arizona Department 
of Environmental Quality, Pima County Department of Environmental

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 112(l) of the 1990 Clean Air Act, EPA 
granted delegation of specific national emission standards for 
hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) to the Arizona Department of 
Environmental Quality on June 4, 2008, and to the Pima County 
Department of Environmental Quality on June 16, 2008. EPA is proposing 
to revise the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect the current 
delegation status of NESHAP in Arizona.

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by September 15, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2008-0555, by one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document concerns the delegation of 
unchanged NESHAP to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and 
the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality. In the Rules and 
Regulations section of this Federal Register, EPA is amending 
regulations to reflect the current delegation status of NESHAP in 
Arizona. EPA is taking direct final action without prior proposal 
because the Agency believes this action is not controversial. If we 
receive adverse comments, however, we will publish a timely withdrawal 
of the direct final rule and address the comments in subsequent action 
based on this proposed rule. Please note that if we receive adverse 
comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that 
provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, we 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, please see the direct final action.

    Authority: This action is issued under the authority of Section 
112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 7412.

    Dated: July 25, 2008.
Amy Zimpfer,
Acting Director, Air Division, Region IX.
