Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Alabama: 
Revision to the Alabama Department of Environmental Management 
Administrative Code for the Air Pollution Control Program

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 Alabama through the Department 
of Environmental Management on December 14, 1995, the State of Alabama 
through the Department of Environmental Management (ADEM) submitted a 
revision to the SIP submittal to amend the ADEM Administrative Code for 
the Air Pollution Control Program. The purpose of this submittal is to 
revise the definition of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) in Chapter 
335-3-1--General Provisions--Section 335-3-1-.02 (gggg), to ensure that 
the state regulation is consistent with the federal rule. In the final 
rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State 
of Alabama'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 that direct final rule, no further activity 
is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. The EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting 
on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by April 18, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
Kimberly Bingham, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of 
the documents relative to this action are available for public 
inspection during normal business hours at the following locations. The 
interested persons wanting to examine these documents should make an
