ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[AZ 014-MSWb; FRL-6440-3]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated

Facilities and Pollutants: Arizona

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the Arizona State Plan for

implementing the emissions guidelines applicable to existing municipal

solid waste (MSW) landfills. The Plan was submitted by the Arizona

Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) for the State of Arizona to

satisfy requirements of section 111(d) of the Federal Clean Air Act. In

the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the

Arizona State Plan as a direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action 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. If no significant, material, and adverse

comments are received in response to this action, no further activity

is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives

relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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 must be received in writing by October 20, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Andrew Steckel,

Rulemaking Office (AIR-4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94105-3901.

Copies of the documents relevant to this proposed rule are

available for public inspection at EPA's Region IX office during normal

business hours. Copies of the submitted State Plan are also available

for inspection at the following location: Air Quality Division, Arizona

Department of Environmental Quality, 3033 N. Central Avenue, Phoenix,

Arizona 85012.
