Approval of Delegation of Authority; National Emission Standards

for Hazardous Air Pollutants; Coke Oven Batteries; Utah

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to grant delegation of authority to the State of

Utah to implement and enforce the National Emission Standards for Coke

Oven Emissions. The Governor of Utah requested delegation from EPA

Region VIII in a letter dated August 18, 1994. In the Final Rules

Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State of Utah's

request for delegation as a direct final rule without prior proposal

because EPA views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no

adverse comments. EPA's rationale for the approval is set forth in the

direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to

this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to

this 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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a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. Any parties

interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

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

April 10, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be submitted to Patricia D. Hull,

Director, Air, Radiation & Toxics Division, Environmental Protection

Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, Denver, Colorado

80202-2466 and concurrently to Russell A. Roberts, Director, Division

of Air Quality, Department of Environmental Quality, 1950 West North

Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84114-4820. Copies of State of Utah's

submittal are available for public inspection during normal business

hours at the above locations.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: T. Scott Whitmore at (303) 293-1758.

action which is located in the Final Rules Section of this Federal

Register.
