ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 81

[FRL-5279-7]


Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Wyoming; 
Redesignation of Particulate Matter Attainment Areas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the EPA is proposing to approve the State of 
Wyoming's December 19, 1994 request to redesignate the Powder River 
Basin particulate matter attainment area to exclude the Kennecott/Puron 
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Baseline area, pursuant 
to section 107 of the Clean Air Act. EPA is also proposing to designate 
the Kennecott/Puron PSD Baseline area as a separate particulate matter 
attainment area. In the final rules section elsewhere in this Federal 
Register, the EPA is acting on the State's request in a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this action as 
noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed 
rationale for the action 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receives adverse comments, then the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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 document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
October 12, 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, 
Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, 122 West 25th Street, 
Hershler Building, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vicki Stamper, 8ART-AP, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region VIII, 999 18th Street, suite 500, Denver,
