ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[OH93-1-7290b; FRL-5467-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the Particulate Matter contingency
measures State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the
State of Ohio on July 17, 1995. This submittal addresses the Federal
Clean Air Act requirement to submit contingency measures for
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a
nominal 10 micrometers (PM) for the areas designated as nonattainment
for the PM National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Contingency
measures are emission reductions which are to be implemented, with no
further action, in the event that an area fails to meet air quality
standards. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA
is approving this action as a direct final rule without prior proposal
because EPA views this as a noncontroversial action 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 EPA receives adverse comments, 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.
Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at
this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before
June 5, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer,
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J),
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson
