40 CFR Part 52

[RI-18-01-7262b; A-1-FRL-5427-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Rhode Island; Emissions Caps

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. This revision approves 
Air Pollution Control Regulation (APC) 29.3, entitled ``Emissions 
Caps'' into the Rhode Island SIP. EPA is also proposing to extend the 
federal enforceability of this regulation to hazardous air pollutants. 
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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on 
this proposal. Any parties interested in commenting on this proposal 
should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 22, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Dave Fierra, Director, Office of 
Ecosystem Protection, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region I, 
JFK Federal Bldg., Boston, MA 02203-2211. Copies of the State submittal 
and EPA's technical support document are available for public 
inspection during normal business hours, by appointment at the Office 
of Ecosystem Protection, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 
I, One Congress Street, 11th floor, Boston, MA and the Division of Air 
and Hazardous Materials Department of Environmental Management, 291 
Promenade Street, Providence, RI 02908.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ida Gagnon (617) 565-3500.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information, see the direct 
final rule which is located in the Rules Section of this Federal 
Register.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.

    Dated: January 30, 1996.
