[EPA-R09-OAR-2005-NV-0002, FRL-8040-9]

 
Revisions to the Nevada State Implementation Plan, Washoe County 
District Board of Health

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Washoe County 
District Board of Health (WCDBH) portion of the Nevada State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The WCDBH revisions concern particulate 
matter (PM-10) emissions from street sanding operations and from street 
sweeping operations. We are proposing actions on local rules under the 
Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by April 21, 2006.

2005-NV-0002, by one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: WCDBH Rules 040.031 and 040.032. In the Rules and Regulations 
section of this Federal Register, we are approving these local rules in 
a direct final action without prior proposal because we believe these 
SIP revisions are not controversial. If we receive adverse comments, 
however, we will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule 
and address the comments in subsequent action based on this proposed 
rule. Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions 
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
    We do not plan to open a second comment period, so anyone 
interested in commenting should do so at this time. If we do not 
receive adverse comments, no further activity is planned. For further 
information, please see the direct final action.

    Dated: February 16, 2006.
Wayne Nastri,
Regional Administrator, Region IX.
