ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[WV23-1-6421b, WV23-2-6422b FRL-5060-5]

 

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans and 
Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Redesignation 
of the Huntington, WV Ozone Nonattainment Area to Attainment and 
Approval of the Area's Maintenance Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to redesignate the Huntington, West Virginia area 
from moderate ozone nonattainment to attainment and proposes to approve 
the maintenance plan as a revision to the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial SIP 
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 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 6, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
Thomas J. Maslany, Director, Air, Radiation, and Toxics Division 
(3AT00), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut 
Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107. Copies of the documents
