ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[OH93-1-7290b; FRL-5467-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the Particulate Matter contingency 
measures State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the 
State of Ohio on July 17, 1995. This submittal addresses the Federal 
Clean Air Act requirement to submit contingency measures for 
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a 
nominal 10 micrometers (PM) for the areas designated as nonattainment 
for the PM National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Contingency 
measures are emission reductions which are to be implemented, with no 
further action, in the event that an area fails to meet air quality 
standards. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA 
is approving this action as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because EPA views this as a noncontroversial action 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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 the proposed 
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. 
Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at 
this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before 
June 5, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson

available for inspection at: Regulation Development Section, Air 
Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region
