ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OH59-1-6376b; FRL-5077-9]

 

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA is approving, through direct final procedure, an 
Ohio State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision request for the purpose 
of implementing an emissions statement program for stationary sources 
within the State's marginal and above ozone nonattainment areas. 
Section 182(a)(3)(B) of title I of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 
1990 (CAA), requires States with areas designated nonattainment for the 
ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) to establish 
regulations for annual reporting of actual emissions by sources that 
emit VOC or NOx in the nonattainment area. These emissions reports are 
referred to as ``emissions statements.'' Sources in the following 
counties are subject to the emissions statement program requirements: 
Ashtabula, Butler, Clark, Clermont, Cuyahoga, Delaware, Franklin, 
Geauga, Greene, Hamilton, Lake, Licking, Lorain, Lucas, Mahoning, 
Medina, Miami, Montgomery, Portage, Stark, Summit, Trumbull, Warren, 
and Wood.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is 
approving this SIP revision request as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because USEPA views the action as noncontroversial 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 USEPA receives 
adverse public comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. USEPA 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 action must be received by October 28, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: William L. MacDowell, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Enforcement Branch (AE-17J), 
USEPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Illinois, 60604.
    Copies of the State submittal for this action are available for 
public inspection during normal business hours at the following 
location (it is recommended that you contact Gina Smith at (312) 886-
