ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[AK13-7101b; FRL-5523-8]


Clean Air Act Attainment Extension for the Municipality of 
Anchorage Area Carbon Monoxide Nonattainment Area: Alaska

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed Rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to grant the one (1) year attainment date 
extension request for the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) carbon 
monoxide (CO) nonattainment area submitted by the State of Alaska on 
March 26, 1996. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, 
the EPA is approving the State's extension as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency 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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
July 29, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston, 
Environmental Protection Specialist (OAQ-107), Office of Air Quality, 
at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents 
relevant to this proposed rule are available for public inspection 
during normal business hours at the following locations. Interested 
persons wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment 
with the appropriate office at least 24 hours before the visiting day.

Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, Office of Air Quality, 1200 
6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101.
