40 CFR Part 52

[OR-40-1-6396b, OR-41-1-6397b, OR-44-1-6543b; FRL-5023-6]

 

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Oregon for the purpose of 
reducing the National Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for carbon monoxide 
(CO). The SIP revision was submitted by the State to satisfy certain 
Federal Clean Air Act requirements for a basic motor vehicle inspection 
and maintenance (I/M) program in the Portland Metropolitan Service 
district and the Medford-Ashland Air Quality Maintenance Area. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 document.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
October 11, 1994..

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed toMontel Livingston, 
Environmental Protection Specialist (AT-082), Air Programs Section, 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.
