Designated Facilities and Pollutants; State of Delaware; Control of

Emissions From Existing Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerator

(HMIWI) Units, Negative Declaration and Withdrawal of EPA Plan Approval

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State of Delaware's negative declaration and request for EPA withdrawal of its section 111(d)/129 plan (the plan) approval for HMIWI units. Submittal of a negative declaration or state plan revision is a requirement of the Clean Air

Act (CAA). In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State of Delaware's negative declaration and request for

EPA withdrawal of its plan approval for HMIWI units. 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by December 30, 2010.

    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the http:[sol][sol]www.regulations.gov index.
