SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:
In
the
final
rules
section
of
this
Federal
Register,

EPA
is
approving
LDEQ's
request
for
delegation
of
authority
to
implement
and
enforce
certain
NESHAPs
for
all
sources
(
both
Part
70
and
non­
Part
70
sources).
LDEQ
has
adopted
certain
NESHAPs
into
Louisiana's
state
regulations.
In
addition,
EPA
is
waiving
its
notification
requirements
so
sources
will
only
need
to
send
notifications
and
reports
to
LDEQ.

The
EPA
is
taking
direct
final
action
without
prior
proposal
because
EPA
views
this
as
a
non­
controversial
action
and
anticipates
no
adverse
comments.
A
detailed
rationale
for
this
approval
is
set
forth
in
the
preamble
to
the
direct
final
rule.
If
no
adverse
comments
are
received
in
response
to
this
action
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withdrawn,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
on
this
action.
Any
parties
interested
in
commenting
must
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
3
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
published
in
the
Rules
section
of
this
Federal
Register.
