ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WA39-1-7028b; FRL-5268-4]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: 
Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Washington for the purpose of 
forecasting and tracking vehicle miles traveled (VMT) for the Puget 
Sound Carbon Monoxide (CO) Nonattainment Area. The SIP revision was 
submitted by the State to satisfy certain Federal Clean Air Act 
requirements for Section 187(a)(2)(A) and Section 187(a)(3) of the 
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA). 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 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 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 document.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
September 22, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston, 
Environmental Protection Specialist (AT-082), Air Programs Section, 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. The interested persons 
wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the 
appropriate office at least 24 hours before the visiting day. U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, Air Programs Section, 1200 
6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101.
