Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans
Kentucky: Approval of Revisions to the Louisville State
Implementation Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the Air Pollution Control
District of Jefferson County portion of the State Implementation Plan
(SIP) submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky through the Natural
Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet on November 12, 1993,
and amended on April 5, 1994, and June 30, 1997, which includes the 15
Percent Rate-of-Progress Plan (15 percent plan) for the Louisville
moderate ozone nonattainment area. This submittal was made to meet the
15 percent reduction in emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
requirement of section 182(b)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in
1990 (CAA).
In the Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the
[[Page 49426]]
Kentucky Plan submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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, no further activity is contemplated. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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. EPA will not institute a second comment period on
this action.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 13, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Scott Martin 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
