ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[LA-16-1-7165b; FRL-5522-7]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Plans; Louisiana;
Revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP); Addressing Ozone
Monitoring
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve a revision to Louisiana's SIP
for ozone. This action is based upon a revision request which was
submitted by the State to satisfy the requirements of the Clean Air
Act, as amended November 15, 1990, and the Photochemical Assessment
Monitoring Stations (PAMS) regulations. The PAMS regulations require
the State to provide for the establishment and maintenance of an
enhanced ambient air quality monitoring network in the form of PAMS by
November 12, 1993.
In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is
approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment
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 this proposed rule, no further activity is
contemplated in relation to this rule. If the 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public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
this proposed rule. The EPA 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 in writing by
July 19, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr.
Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), at the EPA
Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to this
proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal
business hours at the following locations. Interested persons wanting
to examine these documents should make an appointment with the
appropriate office at least 24 hours before the visiting day.
