ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[OH16-3-7264b; FRL-5439-5]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
proposes to approve a State revision to the Ohio sulfur dioxide State
Implementation Plan (SO2 SIP), submitted on October 16, 1991, and
supplemented on March 17, 1993. This revision revises the SO2
emission limitations applicable to Hamilton County. The SIP revision
was conditionally approved on August 23, 1994 (59 FR 43287), and the
condition has been satisfied.
In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is
publishing a full approval of the State's SIP revision request as a
direct final rule without prior proposal, because USEPA views this
action 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
these actions, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this
proposed rule.
If USEPA receives timely comments adverse to or critical of the
approval, which have not been addressed by the State or USEPA, 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so
at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before
June 14, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer,
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J),
United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
Copies of the State submittal and USEPA's analysis of it are
available for inspection at: Air and Radiation Division, Air Programs
Branch, United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77
West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Onischak, Environmental Engineer,
Air Programs Branch, (AR-18J), United States Environmental Protection
Agency, Region 5, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 353-5954.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information, see the direct
final rule published in the rules section of this Federal Register.
Dated: February 14, 1996.
