[EPA-R07-OAR-2015-0733; FRL-9941-05-Region 7]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; Nebraska; Sewage Sludge Incinerators

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
the Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d)/129 negative declaration for the 
state of Nebraska, for existing sewage sludge incinerator (SSI) units. 
This negative declaration certifies that existing SSI units subject to 
sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA do not exist within the jurisdiction 
of Nebraska. EPA is accepting the negative declaration in accordance 
with the requirements of the CAA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse 
comments to this action. A detailed rationale for the approval is set 
forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are 
received in response to this action, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant 
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 action. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives 
adverse comment on part of this rule and if that part can be severed

[[Page 415]]

from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of 
the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional 
information, see the direct final rule which is located in the rules 
section of this Federal Register.
