40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2006-0619; FRL-8327-2]

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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Washoe County 
District Health Department (WCDHD) portion of the Nevada State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern opacity, emissions 
of carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) from wood stoves 
and fireplaces, and air emergency episode plans. We are proposing 
approval of local rules that help regulate emission sources under the 
Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments on this proposal must arrive by July 18, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2006-0619, by one of the following methods:

documents in the docket are listed in the index, some information may 
be publicly available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This proposal addresses the following local 
rules: WCDHD Rules 010.117, 040.005, 040.051, and 050.001. 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. 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.
    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.

    Dated: May 9, 2007.
Laura Yoshii,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.
