    CONCURRING OPINION
    (by J.
    D.
    Dumelle):
    My reason for concurring
    is that the proposed rule does not
    contain
    a date by which
    it automatically ends
    (a “sunset”
    provision).
    All equipment has a useful
    life.
    The hot scarfing machine
    and its associated wet scrubber may be replaced
    in the near
    future.
    What is that date?
    A way to generate information on
    that point during First Notice
    is
    to insert a termination date
    for this rule
    6 or
    10 years from now.
    See R85—15, Decatur
    Site—
    Specific, and R84—13,
    Union Oil Company Site—Specific, proposals
    for First Notice.
    In the instant proceeding a new Federal
    rule, now out for
    public comment, may make reconsideration likely
    in
    a short
    period.
    The respirable particle ambient air quality standard
    proposed by USEPA would replace the total suspended particulate
    (TSP)
    standard here of concern.
    Data are not
    in this record
    as
    to the amount of respirable
    particles (below 10 microns in
    size) discharged by LTV Steel
    at
    this location.
    It may or may not be
    a significant discharger
    that will have
    to have further controls soon if the proposed
    standard becomes final.
