ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[AK6-1-6587b; FRL-5293-6]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Alaska

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Alaska implementing an 
oxygenated gasoline program in the Municipality of Anchorage. This SIP 
revision was submitted to satisfy the requirement of section 211(m) of 
the Clean Air Act, as amended (the ``Act''), which requires all carbon 
monoxide (CO) nonattainment areas with a design value of 9.5 parts per 
million or greater based generally on 1988 and 1989 air quality 
monitoring data to implement an oxygenated gasoline program. In the 
Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the 
State's SIP 

[[Page 54466]]
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 action.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
November 24, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston,
