ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[RI-18-01-7262b; A-1-FRL-5427-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Rhode Island; Emissions Caps
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of Rhode Island. This revision approves
Air Pollution Control Regulation (APC) 29.3, entitled ``Emissions
Caps'' into the Rhode Island SIP. EPA is also proposing to extend the
federal enforceability of this regulation to hazardous air pollutants.
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 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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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. EPA will not institute a second comment period on
this proposal. Any parties interested in commenting on this proposal
should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 22, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Dave Fierra, Director, Office of
Ecosystem Protection, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region I,
JFK Federal Bldg., Boston, MA 02203-2211. Copies of the State submittal
and EPA's technical support document are available for public
inspection during normal business hours, by appointment at the Office
of Ecosystem Protection, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region
I, One Congress Street, 11th floor, Boston, MA and the Division of Air
and Hazardous Materials Department of Environmental Management, 291
Promenade Street, Providence, RI 02908.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ida Gagnon (617) 565-3500.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information, see the direct
final rule which is located in the Rules Section of this Federal
Register.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.
Dated: January 30, 1996.
