40 CFR Part 81

[MI39-01-6921b; FRL-5273-1]


Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; 
Correction of Designation of Nonclassified Ozone Nonattainment Areas; 
State of Michigan

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to correct erroneous ozone designations 
made in 1980 for the Allegan County (Allegan County), Barry County 
(Barry County), Battle Creek (Calhoun County), Benton Harbor (Berrien 
County), Branch County (Branch County), Cass County (Cass County), 
Gratiot County (Gratiot County), Hillsdale County (Hillsdale County), 
Huron County (Huron County), Ionia County (Ionia County), Jackson 
(Jackson County), Kalamazoo (Kalamazoo County), Lapeer County (Lapeer 
County), Lenawee County (Lenawee County), Montcalm (Montcalm County), 
Sanilac County (Sanilac County), Shiawassee County (Shiawassee County), 
St. Joseph County (St. Joseph County), Tuscola County (Tuscola County), 
and Van Buren County (Van Buren County) nonattainment nonclassified/
incomplete data areas and the Lansing-East Lansing (Clinton County, 
Eaton County, and Ingham County) nonattainment nonclassified/
transitional area. Pursuant to section 110(k)(6) of the Act, which 
allows the USEPA to correct its actions, the USEPA is proposing to 
correct their designations to attainment/unclassifiable for ozone.
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is 
correcting the designations in a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the 
correction 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 the 
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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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. Please be aware that 
the USEPA will institute another comment period on this action only if 
warranted by significant revisions to the rulemaking based on any 
comments received in response to the direct final rule. 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 
September 7, 1995. Public comments on this document are requested and 
will be considered before taking final action on this reclassification.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Carlton T. Nash, Chief, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Toxics and Radiation Branch (AT-
18J), United States Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois, 60604.
