August, 18, 2010, 10:00 a.m.	The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) announces that a public hearing pursuant to the requirements of 40 C.F.R. 51.102 will be held, if requested, at the date, time and place posted. Any person wishing to request the public hearing must do so by notifying Ms. Lynn Scearce, Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Air Resource Management, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Mail Station 5500, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-2400, or Lynn Scearce [lynn.scearce@dep.state.fl.us], by letter or e-mail no later than August 6, 2010. The purpose of the public hearing is to receive comments on DEP’s proposal to amend its March 19, 2010, submission to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), of a revision to Florida’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) under the Clean Air Act, for its regional haze plan as required pursuant to sections 169A and 169B of the Act and EPA regulations at 40 C.F.R. 51.308, (Regional Haze Plan (Amended) for Florida Class I Areas). It is not necessary that the hearing be held or attended in order for persons to comment on DEP’s proposed SIP revision. Persons may submit comments by letter or e-mail to Ms. Scearce prior to the scheduled hearing August 18, 2010. The proposed amendments to the March 19, 2010, submission are in response to U.S. EPA comments with regard to the reasonable progress components of the regional haze plan. The primary amendment removes the Reasonable Progress Control Technology rule from the plan and addresses the adequacy of existing and proposed federal regulations for appropriately responding to the reasonable progress requirements. If no request for a public hearing is received, the hearing will be cancelled, and notice of the cancellation will be posted on this page. Persons also may contact Ms. Scearce to find out if the hearing has been cancelled.
