ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[OK-12-1-7079b; FRL-5438-5]


Approval of Volatile Organic Compound Regulations for Oklahoma

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 Oklahoma for the purpose of 
removing equivalent test method and alternative standard language from 
the Oklahoma volatile organic compound regulations. In the final rules 
section of this Federal Register, the 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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public 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. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
May 9, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Air Planning Section, at the EPA Regional 
Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to this action 
are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the 
following locations. Interested persons wanting to examine these
