ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[FRL-5644-1]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
West Virginia; SO2: New Manchester-Grant Magisterial District,
Hancock County Implementation Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of West Virginia. This revision
provides for, and demonstrates, the attainment of the national ambient
air quality standards (NAAQS) for sulfur oxides, measured as sulfur
dioxide (SO2) in the New Manchester-Grant Magisterial District,
Hancock County nonattainment area. In the Final Rules section of this
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 SIP revision 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
EPA receives
[[Page 60254]]
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 December 27, 1996.
