ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[WY-001-0002b and WY-001-0003b; FRL-6344-3]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Wyoming
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve two revisions to the Wyoming State
Implementation Plan (SIP) regarding particulate matter. The SIP
revisions include clarification and revisions to the particulate matter
control requirements in section 25 of the Wyoming Air Quality Standards
and Regulations (WAQSR) for the FMC Corporation in the Trona Industrial
Area of Wyoming, and the addition of guidelines for best available
control technology (BACT) in the minor source construction permitting
requirements of section 21 of the WAQSR for large mining operations.
We are also revising 40 CFR 52.2620 to list subsections 21(a)(iv),
24(a)(xix), 24(b)(iv), and 24(b)(xii)(H) of the WAQSR in the
``Incorporation by reference'' section. We approved these subsections
in previous SIP approvals (on November 29, 1994 and on November 3,
1995, respectively) but we inadvertently neglected to identify those
subsections as incorporated into the SIP in the CFR.
In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, we
approve the State's submittals as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial action and
anticipate no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval
is set forth in the preamble of the direct final rule. If no adverse
comments are submitted, we will not take further action on this
proposed rule. If we receive adverse comments, we will publish a timely
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register and it will
not take effect. We will address all public comments in a subsequent
final rule based on this proposed rule. We 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 June 18, 1999.
ADDRESSES: You should mail your written comments to Richard R. Long,
Director, Air and Radiation Program, Mailcode 8P-AR, Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500,
Denver, Colorado, 80202. Copies of the documents relative to this
action are available for inspection during normal business hours at the
Air and Radiation Program, Environmental Protection Agency, Region
VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2466. Copies
of the State documents relevant to this action are available for public
inspection at the Department of Environmental Quality, 122 West 25th
Street, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the Direct
Final action of the same title which is located in the Rules and
Regulations section of this Federal Register.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.
Dated: May 7, 1999.
Jack W. McGraw,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region VIII.
