ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[AK-4-1-6027b, WA-7-1-5542b, WA-38-1-697b; FRL-5278-1]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Alaska 
and Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the 1 year attainment date 
extension for three nonattainment areas: Mendenhall Valley, Alaska; 
Spokane, Washington; and Wallula, Washington, for particulate matter 
with an aerodynamic diameter of less than or equal to ten micrometers 
(PM-10). In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA 
is approving the States' extensions 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 this proposed rule, no further 
activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. If the 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. The EPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this document.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
October 12, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston, 
Environmental Protection Specialist (AT-082), Air Programs Section, 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. The interested persons 
wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment with the 
appropriate office at least 24 hours before the visiting day.
