SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    This document concerns the delegation of unchanged NESHAP to the 
Maricopa County Air Quality Department, the Nevada Division of 
Environmental Protection, and the Washoe County District Health 
Department, Air Quality Management Division. In the Rules and 
Regulations section of this Federal Register, EPA is amending 
regulations to reflect the current delegation status of NESHAP in 
Arizona and Nevada. 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. Section 7412.

    Dated: January 20, 2010.

Director, Air Division, Region IX.
