01-11525. Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Kentucky: Approval of American Greetings Corporation Source-Specific State Implementation Plan Revision

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Proposed rule.

SUMMARY:

On March 30, 1999, the Commonwealth of Kentucky submitted, through the Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet, a source specific revision to the Kentucky State Implementation Plan (SIP). This source specific SIP revision allows American Greetings Corporation to have an alternative averaging period of 30 days for compliance determination. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the EPA 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 that 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting should do so at this time.

DATES:

To be considered, comments must be received by June 8, 2001.

ADDRESSES:

Written comments on this action should be addressed to Randy Terry at the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 Air Planning Branch, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8960.
