ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[TX-58-1-7256b; FRL-5557-9]
State of Texas; Approval of State Implementation Plan (SIP)
Addressing the Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Emission Limit; Site-Specific
Revision to the SIP for the Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA)
Facility in Rockdale, Texas
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve a September 20, 1995, request from
the State of Texas for a site-specific revision to the Texas SO2
SIP. This revision amends the SO2 emission limitations applicable
to the ALCOA facility in Milam County, Texas. In the final rules
section of this Federal Register, the EPA
[[Page 49717]]
is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without
prior proposal because the EPA views this action as noncontroversial
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 that direct final rule, no further activity
is contemplated in relation to this proposed 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 the proposed rule. The EPA 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: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before
October 23, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be mailed to Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Air
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency Region 6,
1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Copies of the State's
