[[Page 48027]]

SUMMARY: On February 21, 1997 the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency 
(Ohio EPA) submitted a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision request 
to USEPA which consisted of a number of rules and rule paragraphs 
formerly contained in the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) which had been 
incorporated in the Ohio SIP but which had been amended or removed from 
the OAC by the State. The State requested that these rules and rule 
paragraphs be removed from the Ohio SIP since they are no longer part 
of the OAC. The USEPA is proposing to approve the State's request. In 
the final rules section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is 
approving the State's request as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because USEPA views this action as noncontroversial and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for approving the 
State's request is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse 
written comments are received in response to that direct final rule, no 
further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If 
USEPA receives substantive adverse written comments which have not 
already been responded to, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 
all such public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent 
final rule based on the proposed rule. USEPA 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: Written comments on this proposed rule must be received on or 
before October 14, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), Region 5 
at the address listed below. Copies of the materials submitted by the 
Ohio EPA may be examined during normal business hours at the following 
locations: Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-
18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
