[FRL-6925-4]


Clean Air Act Full Approval of Operating Permits Programs in
Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to fully approve the operating permits
program submitted by the State of Washington. Washington's operating
permits program was submitted in response to the directive in the 1990
Clean Air Act Amendments that permitting authorities develop, and
submit to EPA, programs for issuing operating permits to all major
stationary sources and to certain other sources within the permitting
authority's jurisdiction. In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the Washington operating permits program as
a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views
this as a noncontroversial action 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 action,
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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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 proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this
time.

DATES: Written comments must be received in writing by February 1,
2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Denise Baker,
Environmental Protection Specialist (OAQ-107), Office of Air Quality,
at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of Washington's
submittal, and other supporting information used in developing this
action, are available for inspection during normal business hours at
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, 1200 Sixth Avenue,
Seattle, Washington, 98101. Interested persons wanting to examine these
documents should make an appointment with the appropriate office at
least 24 hours before the visiting day.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Denise Baker, Office of Air Quality
(OAQ-107), EPA, 1200 6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101, (206) 553-8087.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information, see the Direct
Final rule which is located in the Rules section of this Federal
Register.

    Dated: December 15, 2000.
Ronald A. Kreizenbeck,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 10.
