Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: Revisions to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) Administrative Code for the Air Pollution Control Program

Samenvatting

The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted on April 22, 1999, by the State of Alabama. These revisions were made to comply with the regulations set forth in the Clean Air Act (CAA). Included in this document are revisions to Chapter 335-3-1--General Provisions which establishes Credible Evidence regulations and Chapter 335-3-14--Air Permits which allows exemptions for projects which are found to be beneficial to the environment. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document s
