Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Maine; Plan For Controlling Total Reduced Sulfur Emissions From 
Existing Kraft Pulp Mills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve Maine's revised ``111(d) plan'' 
for the control of total reduced sulfur (TRS) emissions from existing 
kraft pulp mills into Maine's State Implementation Plan (SIP). The 
revised plan was submitted by the Maine Department of Environmental 
Protection (DEP) on April 27, 1994. The revised plan consists of a 
revised regulation entitled ``Chapter 124: Total Reduced Sulfur Control 
From Kraft Pulp Mills.'' The revised plan satisfies EPA's requirements 
for adoption and submittal of a plan to control TRS emissions from 
designated facilities in accordance with section 111(d) of the Clean 
Air Act (CAA).
    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 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 that direct final rule, no further 
activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 document. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received by November 3, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Linda M. Murphy, Director, Air, 
Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region I, JFK Federal Building, Boston, MA 02203.
    Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available for 
public inspection during normal business hours, by appointment at the

Protection Agency, Region I, One Congress Street, 10th floor, Boston,
