ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[WA 67-7142b; FRL-6188-2]
Approval and Promulgation of State 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
including a variance to a permit issued to the U.S. Army for the
operation of three heat recovery incinerators located at Fort Lewis by
local air pollution control agency, the Puget Sound Air Pollution
Contol Agency (PSAPCA). In the Final Rules Section of this Federal
Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct
final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal 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 action, no further activity is contemplated. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 will not institute a second
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received in writing by December 21,
1998.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston,
Environmental Protection Specialist (OAQ-107), Office of Air Quality,
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.
