ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[MT23-1-6402b; FRL-5128-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Montana; State Implementation Plan for East Helena SO2 
Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to fully approve the State implementation plan 
(SIP) submitted by the State of Montana to achieve attainment of the 
primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for sulfur 
dioxide (SO2). The SIP was submitted by Montana to satisfy certain 
federal requirements for an approvable nonattainment area SO2 SIP 
for East Helena. 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 
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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
February 27, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Meredith A. Bond at 
the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant 
to this proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal
