40 CFR Part 52

[FRL-5224-9]


Determination of Attainment of Ozone Standard by Ashland, 
Kentucky, Northern Kentucky (Cincinnati area), Charlotte, North 
Carolina, and Nashville, Tennessee, and Determination Regarding 
Applicability of Certain Reasonable Further Progress and Attainment 
Demonstration Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to determine that the Ashland, Kentucky, 
Northern Kentucky, Charlotte-Gastonia, North Carolina, and Nashville, 
Tennessee, ozone nonattainment areas have attained the National Ambient 
Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone and that certain reasonable 
further progress and attainment demonstration requirements, along with 
certain related requirements, of Part D of Title I of the Clean Air Act 
are not applicable for so long as the areas continue to attain the 
ozone standard. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is making these determinations without prior proposal. A detailed 
rationale for the action 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, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule 
and address the comments 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 on this action must be received by July 24, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: Kay Prince, Regulatory 
Planning and Development Section, Air Programs Branch, Air, Pesticides 
& Toxics Management Division, Region 4 Environmental Protection Agency,
