[AR-2-1-5646b; FRL-5990-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Arkansas; 
Recodification of Air Quality Control Regulations and Correction of 
Sulfur Dioxide Enforceability Deficiencies

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This action proposes to approve Arkansas Department of 
Pollution Control and Ecology Regulation #19, ``Compilation of 
Regulations of the Arkansas State Implementation Plan for Air Pollution 
Control,'' as adopted by the Arkansas Commission on Pollution Control 
and Ecology on July 24, 1992, as a revision to the Arkansas State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). In the Rules and Regulations 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. The 
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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 
all public comments received during the 30-day comment period set forth 
below will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this 
proposed rule. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
May 11, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Air Planning Section, at the EPA Region 6 
office listed below. Copies of documents relevant to this action are 
available for public inspection during normal business hours at the 
following locations. Anyone wanting to examine these documents should
