[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 25 (Tuesday, February 6, 1996)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 4392] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-2227] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 52 [RT-16-01-6673b; A-1-FRL-5337-7] Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Rhode Island; NSR and PSD Revisions AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Rhode Island for the purpose of meeting requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990, with regard to New Source Review in areas that have not attained the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). In addition, EPA is proposing to approve revisions pertaining to the State's Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program and other miscellaneous requirements. In general, these revisions make the Rhode Island PSD program more consistent with current Federal requirements. 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 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 that direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this action serving as a proposed rule. 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 must be received on or before March 7, 1996. ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Susan Studlien, Acting Director, Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region I, JFK Federal Building, Boston, MA 02203.
