ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[TX-30-1-6527b; FRL-5069-7]

 

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Texas; Site Specific Particulate Control Plan for ASARCO, El Paso

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA in this action proposes to approve a revision to the 
Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) addressing a request for a waiver 
from certain industrial roadway paving for the ASARCO copper smelter in 
El Paso, Texas. Specifically, in lieu of paving, this action proposes 
to approve an alternate particulate control plan for certain industrial 
unpaved roads at the El Paso ASARCO copper smelter. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public 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. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
October 17, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Planning Section, at the EPA Regional Office 
listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to this action 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 twenty-four hours before the visiting day.
