ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 282
[EPA-R06-UST-2018-0702; FRL-10008-90-Region 6]
Louisiana: Final Approval of State Underground Storage Tank
Program Revisions and Incorporation by Reference
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA
or Act), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the State of Louisiana Underground Storage Tank
(UST) program submitted by the State. This action is based on EPA's
determination that these revisions satisfy all requirements needed for
program approval. This action also proposes to codify EPA's approval of
Louisiana's State program and to incorporate by reference those
provisions of the State regulations that we have determined meet the
requirements for approval. The provisions will be subject to EPA's
inspection and enforcement authorities under sections 9005 and 9006 of
RCRA subtitle I and other applicable statutory and regulatory
provisions.
DATES: Send written comments by July 6, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Submit any comments, identified by EPA-R06-UST-2018-0702, by
one of the following methods:
1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov. Follow
the on-line instructions for submitting comments.
2. Email: [email protected].
Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R06-UST-
2018-0702. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included
in the public docket without change and may be available online at
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through https://
[[Page 34396]]
www.regulations.gov, or email. The Federal https://www.regulations.gov
website is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means the EPA will not
know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the
body of your comment. If you send an email comment directly to the EPA
without going through https://www.regulations.gov, your email address
will be automatically captured and included as part of the comment that
is placed in the public docket and made available on the internet. If
you submit an electronic comment, the EPA recommends that you include
your name and other contact information in the body of your comment. If
the EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties, and
cannot contact you for clarification, the EPA may not be able to
consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or
viruses.
The index to the docket for this action is available electronically
at www.regulations.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Audray Lincoln, (214) 665-2239,
[email protected]. Out of an abundance of caution for members of
the public and our staff, the EPA Region 6 office will be closed to the
public to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19. We encourage the
public to submit comments via https://www.regulations.gov, as there
will be a delay in processing mail and no courier or hand deliveries
will be accepted. Please call or email the contact listed above if you
need alternative access to material indexed but not provided in the
docket.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. 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. If the 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 rule. The EPA will not institute a second
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time. For additional information, see the direct
final rule published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this
Federal Register.
