ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[NH-039-7166b; A-1-FRL-6416-1]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
New Hampshire; General Conformity
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve New Hampshire's General Conformity
Rule, incorporating it into the State Implementation Plan (SIP). In the
Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving New
Hampshire's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal
because we view it as noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse
comments. See the direct final rule for detailed rationale for the
approval. If EPA receives no adverse comments in response to this
action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA does receive
adverse comments, we will withdraw the direct final rule and respond to
all public comments received in a subsequent final rule based on this
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. If you
are interested in commenting on this action, you should do so at this
time.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 15,
1999.
ADDRESSES: You may mail comments to Susan Studlien, Deputy Director,
Office of Ecosystem Protection, EPA Region 1 (CAA), One Congress
Street, Suite 1100 (CAA), Boston, MA 02114. You may also email comments
to cairns.matthew@epa.gov.
You may review copies of the relevant documents to this action by
appointment during normal business hours at the Office of Ecosystem
Protection, EPA Region 1, One Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts;

Street, S.W., (LE-131), Washington, DC; and the Air Resources Division,
