ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[OH87-1-7075b; FRL-5227-2]


Determination of Attainment of the Ozone Standard by the 
Cleveland, Toledo, Dayton and Cincinnati-Hamilton Interstate Ozone 
Nonattainment Areas and Determination Regarding Applicability of 
Certain Reasonable Further Progress and Attainment Demonstration 
Requirements; Ohio

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA is proposing to determine, through direct final 
procedure, that the Cleveland (which includes the Counties of 
Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage and Summit); 
Toledo (which includes the Counties of Lucas and Wood); Dayton (which 
includes the Counties of Clark, Greene, Miami and Montgomery); and the 
Ohio portion of the Cincinnati-Hamilton Interstate (which includes the 
Counties of Butler, 

[[Page 33782]]
Clermont, Hamilton and Warren) ozone nonattainment areas have attained 
the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. In the 
Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, USEPA is making these 
determinations without prior proposal because USEPA views this as 
noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed 
rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no 
adverse or critical 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 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 
USEPA will institute a second comment period on this action only if 
warranted by revisions to the rulemaking based on comments received. 
Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at 
this time.

DATES: Comments on this action must be received by July 31, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments must be mailed to: William L. MacDowell, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Enforcement Branch (AE-17J), 
USEPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    A copy of the air quality data and USEPA's analysis are available

Section, Air Enforcement Branch (AE-17J), USEPA, Region 5, 77 West
