40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2013-0824; FRL-9928-34-Region 5]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Michigan; Part 3 Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving 
revisions to the Part 3 rules into the Michigan State Implementation 
Plan (SIP). On December 13, 2013, the Michigan Department of 
Environmental Quality (MDEQ) submitted to EPA for approval revisions to 
Part 3, Emission Limitations and Prohibitions--Particulate Matter (PM), 
for open burning and electro-static precipitators (ESPs). The revisions 
for open burning eliminate specific provisions to allow household waste 
burning, and add a provision to allow for burning of fruit and 
vegetable storage bins for pest or disease control with specific 
location limitations. The SIP request also removes rule 330 dealing 
with operation parameters for electrostatic precipitators because of 
redundancy, and rule 349 dealing with compliance dates for coke ovens 
because it is now obsolete. EPA is approving this SIP revision because 
it will not interfere with attainment or maintenance of the fine 
particulate matter (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality 
Standard (NAAQS).

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 2, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP submittal 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 rule, 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. 
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions 
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.
