Section 112(l) Approval of the State of Florida's Construction
Permitting Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule: Clarification.

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

SUMMARY: On February 1, 1996 (61 FR 3572), the Environmental Protection
Agency published in the Federal Register a direct final rule for State
Implementation Plan (SIP) and section 112(l) approval of the State of
Florida's minor source operating permit program so that Florida could
begin to issue federally-enforceable operating permits on a source's
potential emissions and thereby avoid major source applicability.
Today's action is taken to clarify that EPA's section 112(l) approval
of the Florida minor source operating permit program extended to the
State's minor source preconstruction permitting program as well as the
operating permit program to allow Florida to issue both Federally-
enforceable construction permits and Federally-enforceable operating
permits pursuant to section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) as amended
in 1990. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA
is clarifying that the section 112(l) approval of the Florida minor
source operating permit program extended to the State's minor source
preconstruction permitting program as well as the operating permit
program as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial action 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 action, 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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. 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: Written comments must be received on or before March 5, 1999.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Lee Page, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4, Air and Radiation Technology
Branch, Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia
30303; [email protected]. Copies of Florida's original submittal
and accompanying documentation are available for public review during
normal business hours, at the address listed above.

final rule which is published in the Rules section of this Federal
Register.

Dated: November 13, 1998.
