ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[NE-9-1-7220b; FRL-5409-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Delegation 
of 112(l) Authority; Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department and 
City of Omaha (Nebraska)

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 Nebraska on behalf of the two 
local air pollution control agencies. The state has an approved program 
(published in the Federal Register on January 4, 1995), and the local 
agencies have adopted the state's regulatory framework. The state has 
made this request so that the local agencies may issue Federally 
enforceable Class II permits as an alternative to Title V.
    Like the state's program, this SIP revision includes the creation 
of a Class II operating permit program and adopts the state's Part D 
(nonattainment) new source review rule changes, SO2 rule 
corrections, and provisions for compliance and enforcement information. 
In the final rules section of the Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving this 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withdrawn, and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 document. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
March 15, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Christopher D. Hess, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Branch, 726 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, 
Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher D. Hess at (913) 551-7213.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: December 7, 1995.
William Rice,
Acting Regional Administrator.
