Proposed Rules

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA)
40 CFR Part 81
[NE-012-1012b; FRL-5655-7]

Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; State of Nebraska

61 FR 64308

DATE: Wednesday, December 4, 1996
ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to correct a previous action published on November 6, 1991, that designated portions of Omaha, Nebraska, as nonattainment for the lead National Ambient Air Quality Standard (see 56 FR 56694). Specifically, this action corrects a mistake made in designating the southern boundary of that nonattainment area. This correction has no practical effect on the sources which are subject to the nonattainment provisions of the original designation.

In the final rules section of the Federal Register, the EPA is approving the correction 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 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 If the EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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 document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 3, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Josh Tapp, Environmental Protection Agency, Air Branch, 726 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh Tapp at (913) 551-7606.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal Register.

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.

Dated: November 14, 1996.

Dennis Grams, Regional Administrator.
