ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[WA56-7131b; FRL-5603-8]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: 
Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve in part and take no action in part 
to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State 
of Washington for the purpose of amending Regulations I and III from a 
local air agency, the Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency. The SIP 
revision was submitted by the State to satisfy certain Federal Clean 
Air Act requirements. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal 
Register, the EPA is approving certain sections and taking no actions 
on certain sections of 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 
October 23, 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.
The State of Washington, Department of Ecology, 300 Desmond Drive, 
Lacey, Washington 98504.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tamara Langton, Environmental 
Protection Specialist, Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107), EPA, 1200 6th

Final action which is located in the Rules Section of this Federal 
Register.

    Dated: August 19, 1996.
