ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 70

[EPA-R05-OAR-2018-0285; FRL-9997-34-Region 5]

Air Plan Approval; Wisconsin; Title V Operation Permit Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve updates and revisions to the Wisconsin title V Operation Permit 
Program, submitted by Wisconsin pursuant to subchapter V of the Clean 
Air Act (Act), which requires states to develop, and to submit to EPA 
for approval, programs for issuing operation permits to all major 
stationary sources. The revision was submitted to update the title V 
program since the final approval of the program in 2001 and to change 
the permit fee schedule for subject facilities. The revision consists 
of amendments to Chapter Natural Resources (NR) 407 Wisconsin 
Administrative Code, operation permits, Chapter NR 410 Administrative 
code, permit fees, and Wisconsin statute 285.69, fee structure. This 
approval action will help ensure that Wisconsin properly implements the 
requirements of title V of the Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this issue of 
the Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's submittal as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. 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 
rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives such 
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time. Please note that if 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, EPA may adopt as final those provisions 
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 issue of the Federal Register.
