[ND7-1-6882b; FRL-5618-7]
Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation
Plan for North Dakota; Revisions to the Air Pollution Control Rules
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan (SIP)
revisions submitted by the State of North Dakota with a letter dated
December 21, 1994. The submittal addressed revisions to SIP Chapter 2,
regarding delegatable authorities and asbestos law revisions, and
revisions to air pollution control rules regarding general provisions;
ambient air quality standards; new source performance standards (NSPS);
and national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAPs).
The submittal also addressed the following issues which were reviewed
separately: revisions to the Title V permit to operate program;
revisions to the Acid Rain program; and emission standards for
hazardous air pollutants for source categories (MACT standards).
In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is acting
on the State's SIP revisions 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
EPA's actions 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 and the direct final rule will become
effective. If 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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a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. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by
November 7, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Amy
Platt, 8P2-A, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the
State's submittal and documents relevant to this proposed rule are
available for inspection during normal business hours at the following
locations: Air Program, Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII,
999 18th Street, suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2405; and North

Environmental Health Section, 1200 Missouri Avenue, Bismarck, North
Dakota, 58502-5520.
