Clean Air Act New Source Review Operating Permit Program; Notice 
of Transfer of Permits to Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to grant Wyoming Department of 
Environmental Quality's (WDEQ) August 21, 2020 request to transfer to 
the State administrative authority over two federal permits that were 
issued by the EPA on June 26, 1973 under the federal new source review 
(NSR) permitting program. In addition, the EPA is proposing to agree 
with WDEQ's analysis in its August 21, 2020 letter demonstrating that 
the current Wyoming regulations still meet the requirements of the 
federal NSR permitting program. This action is proposing to transfer 
the 1973 federally issued permits to Wyoming. The EPA is proposing this 
action in accordance with the Clean Air Act and the Code of Federal 
Regulations NSR program requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and 
``our'' means the EPA.
    Proposed action: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register, the EPA is publishing a direct final rule without 
prior proposal of the EPA's intent to grant WDEQ's August 21, 2020 
request to transfer to the State administrative authority over two 
existing EPA issued permits that were issued by the EPA on June 26, 
1973 under the now superseded federal NSR permitting program for 
Wyoming. The EPA views this as a noncontroversial action and we do not 
expect adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the action is set 
forth in the preamble to the direct final rule. If the EPA receives no 
adverse comments, the EPA contemplates no further action. If the EPA 
receives adverse comments, the EPA will withdraw the direct final rule 
and will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based 
on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so 
at this time. For additional information, see the direct final rule of 
the same title which is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' 
section of this Federal Register.
