[OH107-1b; KY94-9717b; FRL-5830-4]
Clean Air Act Promulgation of Extension of Attainment Date for
Ozone Nonattainment Area; Ohio; Kentucky
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The USEPA is proposing to extend the attainment date for the
Cincinnati-Hamilton interstate moderate ozone nonattainment area from
November 15, 1996 to November 15, 1997. This extension is based in part
on monitored air quality readings for the national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS) for ozone during 1996. In the final rules section of
this Federal Register, the USEPA is approving these actions as a direct
final rule without prior proposal because USEPA views these actions as
noncontroversial 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
USEPA receives substantive adverse comments which have not already been
responded to, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on
the proposed rule. USEPA will not institute a second comment period on
this action. 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 26, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Joseph M. LeVasseur at the USEPA
