ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[NV 015-MSWb; FRL-6440-5]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated

Facilities and Pollutants: Nevada

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

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

implementing the emissions guidelines applicable to existing municipal

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

Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) for the State of Nevada 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

Nevada 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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.
