02-29180. Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans for Kentucky: Approval of Revisions to the Jefferson County Portion of the Kentucky State Implementation Plan

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Proposed rule.

SUMMARY:

On February 19, 2002, June 16, 2002, and July 15, 2002, the Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet (Cabinet) submitted revisions to the Jefferson County portion of the Kentucky State Implementation Plan (SIP). The EPA is proposing to approve these revisions to the SIP. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision 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 significant, material, and adverse comments are received in response to this rule, 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES:

Written comments must be received on or before December 19, 2002.

ADDRESSES:

All comments should be addressed to: Scott Martin, Air Planning Branch, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 4, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303-8960.
