ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[WA61-7136, WA64-7139b; FRL-5869-9]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans:
Washington
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approves in part several
minor revisions to the state of Washington Implementation Plan (SIP).
Pursuant to section 110 (a) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Director of
the Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) submitted two requests to
EPA dated November 25, 1996 and April 7, 1997 to revise certain
regulations of a local air pollution control agency, namely, the Puget
Sound Air Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA). 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 action.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by
September 5, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston,
Environmental Protection Specialist (OAQ-107), Office of Air Quality,
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.
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, Office of Air Quality, 1200
6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101. The State of Washington Department of
Ecology, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, Washington 98504.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Jacobsen, Office of Air Quality
