40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2005-TX-0002; FRL-9920-33-Region 6]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Texas; Repeal of Lead Emission Rules for Stationary Sources in El Paso 
and Dallas County

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Texas 
which repeals lead emission rules which cover stationary sources in El 
Paso and Dallas county that are no longer in existence. This action is 
being taken under section 110(k) and part D of the Clean Air Act.

DATES: Written comments should be received on or before January 12, 
2015.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Guy Donaldson, Chief, Air 
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross 
Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may also be 
submitted electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following 
the detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final 
rule located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kenneth W. Boyce, (214) 665-7259, 
boyce.kenneth@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal repealing lead 
emission rules which cover stationary sources that are no longer 
operating in both El Paso County and Dallas County. We are taking this 
action 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 proposed approval is set forth 
in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received 
in response to this action no further activity is contemplated. If EPA 
receives relevant 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is 
located in the rules section of this Federal Register and the 
electronic docket found in the www.regulations.gov Web site (Docket ID 
No. EPA-R06-OAR-2005-TX-0002).

    Dated: November 19, 2014.
