ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[WA5-1-5539b; FRL-5309-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Washington for the purpose of 
bringing about the attainment of the national ambient air quality 
standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter 
less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM-10). The 
implementation plan was submitted by the State to satisfy certain 
Federal requirements for an approvable moderate nonattainment area PM-
10 SIP for Tacoma, Washington. In the Final Rules Section of this 
Federal Register, the 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 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 proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to 
this rule. If the 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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. The EPA does not 
plan to institute a second comment period on this action.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
November 24, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston, 
SIP Manager, Environmental Protection Specialist (AT-082), Air and 
Radiation Branch, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of 
the documents relevant to this proposed rule are available for public 
inspection during normal business hours at the following locations. The 
interested persons wanting to examine these documents should make an 
appointment with the appropriate office at least 24 hours before the 
visiting day.

Branch, 1200 6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101.
