Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Utah; Forward and Definitions, Revision to Definition for Sole Source
of Heat and Emissions Standards, Nonsubstantive Changes; General
Requirements, Open Burning; and Forward and Definitions, Addition of
Definition for PM10 Nonattainment Area
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the Governor of the
State of Utah on July 11, 1994, for the purpose of establishing a
modification to the definition for ``Sole Source of Heat'' in UACR
R307-1-1, as well as to make a nonsubstantive change to UACR R307-1-4,
Emissions Standards. On February 6, 1996, a SIP revision to UACR R307-
1-2 was submitted by the Governor of Utah which contains changes to
Utah's open burning requirements to require that the local county fire
marshal has to establish 30-day open burning windows in order for open
burning to occur. Other minor changes are made in this revision to UACR
R307-1-2.4, ``General Burning'' and R307-1-2.5, ``Confidentiality of
Information.'' In addition, on July 9, 1998, SIP revisions were
submitted that would add a definition for ``PM10
Nonattainment Area'' to UACR R307-1-1. In the ``Rules and Regulations''
section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP
revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views these as a noncontroversial SIP revisions and anticipates
no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth
in the preamble to the direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse
comments, EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule. If
EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule
and it will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments 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 must do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing on or before April 26,
1999.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to Richard R. Long, Director,
Air and Radiation Program, Mailcode 8P-AR, Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, Denver,
