[R06-OAR-2004-NM-0001; FRL-7858-6]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants: Bernalillo County, NM; Negative Declarations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a negative declaration submitted by the City of Albuquerque (Bernalillo County), New Mexico, certifying that there are no existing commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units in Bernalillo County subject to the requirements of sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA.

DATES: Written comments must be received by February 9, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically, by mail, by facsimile, or through hand delivery/courier by following the detailed instructions provided under the ``Public Participation'' heading in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of direct final rule located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Kenneth W. Boyce, Air Planning Section, Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 700, Dallas, Texas 75202-2833, at (214) 665-7259 or boyce.kenneth@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving a negative declaration submitted by the City of Albuquerque Environmental Health Department certifying that there are no existing applicable commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units subject to 40 CFR part 60, subparts CCCC and DDDD, under its jurisdiction in the City of Albuquerque, Bernalillo County (excluding tribal lands), within the jurisdictions of the respective State and local agencies. EPA is approving sections 111(d)/129 State Plans as a direct final rule without prior proposal because EPA views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. The EPA has explained its reasons for this approval in the preamble to the direct final rule. If EPA receives no relevant adverse comments, EPA will not take further action on 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 If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent direct final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

For additional information, see the direct final rule located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register.

Dated: December 21, 2004. Richard E. Greene, Regional Administrator, Region 6.
