Section 112(l) Proposal of the State of Florida's Rule Adjustment

to the National Perchloroethylene Air Emission Standards for Dry

Cleaning Facilities

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to

approve the adjustment of the ``National Perchloroethylene Air Emission

Standards for Dry Cleaning Facilities,'' (PERC) National Emission

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), delegated to the

Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). This PERC NESHAP

delegated to the State of Florida is approved through the section

112(l) procedures outlined in 40 CFR 63.92 and 63.91 of section 112 of

the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990. On April 9, 1999, the State of

Florida submitted a request for adjustment to the requirements of 40

CFR 63.10(b)5. The requested adjustment by FDEP would allow the

periodic startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports in 40 CFR

63.10(d)(5) of the General Provisions, to be retained on site at area

source PERC NESHAP affected facilities instead of submitting them to

the delegated agency. EPA has reviewed this 112(l) adjustment request

and determined that the FDEP has satisfied the necessary criteria of a

complete submittal as specified in 63.92 and 63.91.

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

approving the section 112(l) adjustment of Florida's delegated PERC

NESHAP 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 January 27, 2000.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Leonardo Ceron, 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.
