Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and Operating Permits Program revisions submitted by the state of Kansas which align the state's rules entitled “Annual Emissions Fee” with the Federal Air Emissions Reporting Requirements Rule (AERR).

Dates

Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by February 26, 2014.

Supplementary Information

In the final rules section of the Federal Register , EPA is approving the state's SIP and Operating Permits Program revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse comments to this action. A detailed rationale for the 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 in relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed action. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on part of this rule and if that part can be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in the rules section of this Federal Register . Dated: January 8, 2014. Karl Brooks, Regional Administrator, Region 7.
