[MS23-200015b; FRL -6574-4]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans For Designated Facilities and Pollutants: Mississippi

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to apporve the Section 111(d) Plan for the State of Mississippi submitted by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) on May 5, 1999, for implementing and enforcing the Emissions Guidelines applicable to existing Hospital/ Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators. The Plan was submitted by the Mississippi DEQ to satisfy certain Federal Clean Air Act requirements. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the Mississippi State Plan submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency

[[Page 18267]]

views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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 that 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by May 8, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Michele Notarianni at the EPA Regional Office listed below.
