40 CFR Part 52

[DC24-1-6793b; FRL-5271-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
District of Columbia--Proposed Recodification of the District's Air 
Pollution Control Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the District of Columbia. This proposed revision 
consists of a revised format for the District's air pollution control 
regulations. Except as otherwise indicated, the proposed changes are 
administrative in nature, and do not substantively revise the current 
SIP. The intended effect of this proposed action is to ensure that the 
District of Columbia's current regulatory numbering format and the 
District of Columbia SIP numbering format are consistent with each 
other. This proposed action is being taken in accordance with section 
110 of the Clean Air Act.
    In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the District's SIP revision as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial SIP 
revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for 
the approval 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 EPA 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by September 27, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
Marcia L. Spink, Associate Director, Air Programs, Air, Radiation, and 
Toxics Division (3AT00), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 
III, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107. Copies of 
the documents relevant to this action are available for public 
inspection during normal business hours at the Air, Radiation, and 
Toxics Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 841
