SUMMARY:

the
section
111(
d)/
129
State
Plan
submitted
by
the
Mississippi
Department
of
Environmental
Quality
(
MDEQ)
for
the
State
of
Mississippi
on
August
29,
2002,
for
implementing
and
enforcing
the
Emissions
Guidelines
applicable
to
existing
Commercial
and
Industrial
Solid
Waste
Incinerators.
The
Plan
was
submitted
by
MDEQ
to
satisfy
Federal
Clean
Air
Act
requirements.
In
the
final
rules
section
of
this
Federal
Register,
the
EPA
is
approving
the
Mississippi
State
Plan
as
a
direct
final
rule
without
prior
proposal
because
the
Agency
views
this
as
a
noncontroversial
plan
and
anticipates
no
adverse
comments.
A
detailed
rationale
for
the
approval
is
set
forth
in
the
direct
final
rule.
If
no
adverse
comments
are
received
in
response
to
the
direct
final
rule,
no
further
activity
is
contemplated
in
relation
to
this
proposed
rule.
If
EPA
receives
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withdrawn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
rule.
The
EPA
will
not
institute
a
second
comment
period
on
this
rule.
Any
parties
interested
in
commenting
on
this
rule
should
do
so
at
this
time.
