ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[085-1085a; FRL-6517-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of 
Kansas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by the state of Kansas. These revisions include 
revising and renumbering regulatory definitions, streamlining opacity 
requirements, expanding testing of gasoline delivery vehicles, and 
methods for calculating actual emissions.
    In the final rules section of the Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the state's SIP 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. 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 rule, no 
further activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 rule. 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.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by February 10, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Christopher D. Hess, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Hess at [phone] or 
[e-mail].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal 
Register.
