ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WA 66-7141a; FRL-5998-2]

 
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: 
Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
several minor revisions to the state of Washington Implementation Plan 
(SIP). Pursuant to section 110(a) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the 
Director of the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) submitted a 
request to EPA dated December 30, 1997, to revise certain regulations 
of a local air pollution control agency, namely, the Puget Sound Air 
Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA). 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 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 
May 21, 1998.

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. The interested 
persons wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment 
with the appropriate office at least 24 hours before the visiting day.
    Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, Office of Air Quality, 
1200 6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101. The State of Washington Department 
of Ecology, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, Washington 98504.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christi Lee, Washington Operations 
Office, EPA, 300 Desmond Drive, Suite #102, Lacey, Washington 98503,

Final action which is located in the Rules Section of this Federal 
Register.

    Dated: April 6, 1998.
