ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MT25-1-6541b; FRL-5251-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Montana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the EPA is proposing action on the revisions 
to the Montana State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the 
Governor on May 17, 1994. The submittal included, among other things, 
revisions to the State's nonattainment new source review (NSR) and 
prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) permitting regulations 
and revisions to address other outstanding deficiencies. In the final 
rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is acting on the 
State's SIP submittal in a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because the Agency views this submittal as noncontroversial and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the partial 
approval/partial disapproval 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receives adverse comments, then the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this notice should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
August 17, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Vicki Stamper, 8ART-
AP, 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:
    Air Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 
999 18th Street, suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2466; and Air 
Quality Division, Montana Department of Health and Environmental 
Sciences, P.O. Box 200901, Cogswell Building, Helena, Montana 59620-

Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, suite 500, Denver,

final rule of the same title which is located in the Rules Section of
