40 CFR Part 52

[OH73-1-6809, OH74-1-6810, OH75-1-6811; FRL-5174-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA is reopening the comment period for a proposed rule 
published on January 17, 1995 (60 FR 3361). On January 17, 1995, USEPA 
proposed to approve exemptions from the nitrogen oxides (NOx) 
requirements as provided for in Section 182(f) of the Clean Air Act 
(Act) for the following ozone nonattainment areas in Ohio: Canton 
(Stark County); Cincinnati (Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Clermont 
Counties); Cleveland (Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, 
Medina, Portage and Summit Counties); Columbus (Delaware, Franklin, and 
Licking Counties); Youngstown (Mahoning and Trumbull Counties); 
Steubenville (Jefferson and Columbiana Counties); Preble County; and 
Clinton County.
    The USEPA is reopening the comment period for this action to honor 
a request from the Ohio Sierra Club. The original request was for an 
extension of the public comment period by 90 days. The USEPA believes 
that additional time may be necessary to develop comments, but feels 
that an extension of 90 days, at this time, is not appropriate since a 
total of two adverse comments were received (and one supporting); and 
that no additional adverse comments are expected to be submitted by 
other entities. Therefore, USEPA is extending the original comment 
period by 45 days (until April 2, 1995).

DATES: Written comments on this action must be received by April 2, 
1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments must be submitted to: William L. MacDowell, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Enforcement Branch (AE-17J), 
USEPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Schleyer, Environmental 
Engineer, Regulation Development Section, Air Enforcement Branch (AE-
17J), USEPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 
60604, (312) 353-5089.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7601q.

    Dated: March 9, 1995.
David A. Ullrich,
Acting Regional Administrator.
