ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[KY 90-1-9735b: FRL6130-2]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans:
Kentucky: Adoption of General Conformity Rules
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposal rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On November 10, 1995, the Commonwealth of Kentucky Natural
Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet (KNREPC) submitted
revisions to the Kentucky State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning
the adoption of criteria and procedures for demonstrating and assuring
the ``Conformity of General Actions.'' In the final rules section of
this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the Commonwealth of
Kentucky's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 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 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting should do so at
this time.
DATES: Comments must be received by August 26, 1998.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Mr. Gregory Crawford
at the EPA Regional Office listed below.
Copies of the documents relative to this action are available for
public inspection during normal business hours at the following
