Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated

Facilities and Pollutants: South Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the section 111(d) Plan submitted by

the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control

(DHEC) for the State of South Carolina on April 12, 1999, for

implementing and enforcing the Emissions Guidelines applicable to

[[Page 46166]]

existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. The Plan was submitted by the

South Carolina DHEC to satisfy certain Federal Clean Air Act

requirements. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA

is approving the South Carolina State Plan submittal as a direct final

rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial submittal and anticipates that it will not receive any

significant, material, and adverse comments. A detailed rationale for

the approval is set forth in the direct final rule and incorporated by

reference herein. If no significant, material, and adverse comments are

received in response to this proposed 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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. EPA will not institute a second comment period on

this action.

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

September 23, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Gregory Crawford at

the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant

to this proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal

business hours at the following locations. The interested persons

wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the

appropriate office at least 24 hours before the day of the visit.
