Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of Carbon Monoxide 
Implementation Plan for the State of Washington: Puget Sound Emission 
Inventory

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the 1990 base year and 1995 
projected year carbon monoxide emission inventory portion of the Puget 
Sound carbon monoxide (CO) State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on 
September 30, 1994, by the State of Washington Department of Ecology 
(Ecology) for the purpose of bringing about the attainment of the 
national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for CO. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
September 9, 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. The 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. Washington State Department of Ecology,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephanie Cooper, Office of Air
