Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Alabama: 
Revisions to Several Chapters of the Alabama Department of 
Environmental Management (ADEM) Administrative Code for the Air 
Pollution Control Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of 
Alabama through the Department of Environmental Management. On March 5, 
1998, the State of Alabama through the Department of Environmental 
Management (ADEM) submitted a SIP submittal to revise the ADEM 
Administrative Code for the Air Pollution Control Program. Revisions 
were made to Chapters 335-3-1, 335-3-12, 335-3-14, and Appendix F. In 
the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving 
Alabama's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 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 the direct final rule, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. The EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this rule. Any parties interested in commenting on this rule should 
do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by October 14, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Kimberly Bingham, at 
the EPA Regional Office listed below. The interested persons wanting to 
examine these documents should make an appointment with the appropriate 
office at least 24 hours before the visiting day. Copies of the 
documents relative to this action are available for public inspection 
during normal business hours at the following locations.
