ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[AK6-1-6887b, AK5-1-6437b, AK3-1-5851b; FRL-5147-9]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Alaska

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve regulations from three submittals 
received from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation 
(ADEC): submittal dated July 17, 1990 requesting our action to address 
out-of-date sections found in 40 CFR 52.73-5296 relating to Alaska 
state implementation plan (SIP) deficiencies, and including the 
applicable Alaska statutes to support their request; submittal dated 
October 15, 1991 requesting approval of amendments to regulations 
dealing with Air Quality Control, 18 AAC 50, for inclusion into 
Alaska's SIP to assure compliance with Federal ambient air quality 
standards for airborne particulate matter, and submittal dated March 
24, 1994 requesting approval of additional amendments to 18 AAC 50, Air 
Quality Control, for inclusion into Alaska's SIP to assure compliance 
with new source review permitting requirements, the 1990 Clean Air Act 
Amendments (the Act), for sources located in nonattainment areas for 
either carbon monoxide or particulate matter. In the Final Rules 
Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving these SIP 
revisions 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 
March 20, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel 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.
