40 CFR Part 52

[CT-18-1-6482b; A-1-FRL-5271-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation 
PlansConnecticut; PM10 Attainment Plan and Contingency Measures for 
New Haven

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing full approval of a State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Connecticut to satisfy certain 
federal requirements for the New Haven initial PM10 nonattainment area. 
The purpose of this action is to bring about the attainment of the 
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter 
with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 
micrometers (PM10). EPA also proposes full approval of reasonable 
available control measures (RACM) and contingency measures for the New 
Haven initial PM10 moderate nonattainment area as established in this 
SIP revision, since Connecticut has demonstrated implementation of RACM 
will attain and maintain the PM10 NAAQS. Additionally, EPA proposes 
approval of Connecticut's adoption of the PM10 NAAQS and emergency 
episode regulation. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial 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 that direct 
final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this 
proposed rule. If EPA does receive 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 proposal. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this proposal should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 11, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Susan Studlien, Acting Director, 
Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, EPA-New England, JFK 
Federal Bldg (AAA), Boston, MA 02203-2211. Copies of the State 
submittal and EPA's technical support document are available for public 
inspection by appointment during normal business hours at the Air,
