ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2008-0389; FRL-8711-4]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Wisconsin; Approval of Rule Clarifications

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Wisconsin State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Wisconsin Department of 
Natural Resources (WDNR) on March 28, 2008. The WDNR has submitted for 
approval revisions to incorporate Federal regulations into the 
Wisconsin Administrative Code, to clarify construction permit 
requirements under general permits, to revise portable source 
relocation requirements, and to amend rule language to streamline the 
minor revision permit process to allow construction permits to be 
issued concurrently with operation permits. EPA is approving these 
revisions because they are consistent with Federal regulations 
governing State permit programs.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 21, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP 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 adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no 
further activity is contemplated. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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. 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 Federal Register.

    Dated: August 21, 2008.
