ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[WA56-7131b; FRL-5603-8]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans:
Washington
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve in part and take no action in part
to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State
of Washington for the purpose of amending Regulations I and III from a
local air agency, the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency. The SIP
revision was submitted by the State to satisfy certain Federal Clean
Air Act requirements. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal
Register, the EPA is approving certain sections and taking no actions
on certain sections of 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in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
October 23, 1996.
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. Interested
persons wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment
with the appropriate office at least 24 hours before the visiting day.
