[FRL-5868-2]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated

Facilities and Pollutants; States of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and

Nebraska

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve Municipal Waste Combustors (MWC)

111(d)/129 Plan negative declarations submitted by the states of Iowa,

Kansas,

[[Page 41907]]

Missouri, and Nebraska. These negative declarations certify that MWCs

subject to the requirements of section 111(d) and section 129 of the

Clean Air Act do not exist in these states. In the final rules section

of the Federal Register, the EPA is approving the states' negative

declarations as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the

Agency views this action as noncontroversial, 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 proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation

to this rule. If the 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 document. Any

parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this

time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by

September 3, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Aaron J. Worstell, Environmental

Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 726 Minnesota

Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Aaron J. Worstell at (913) 551-7787.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct

final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal

Register.

Dated: July 11, 1997.

Dennis Grams,

Regional Administrator.
