ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[KS 008-1008(b); FRL-5556-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of 
Kansas

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 Kansas for the purpose of 
fulfilling the requirements set forth in the EPA's General Conformity 
rule. The SIP was submitted by the state to satisfy the Federal 
requirements in 40 CFR 51.852 and 93.151. In addition, the EPA proposes 
to approve a SIP revision submitted by the state pertaining to revision 
of the state's open burning rules.
    In the final rules section of the 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 document. Any parties interested in commenting 
on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
November 1, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Wayne Kaiser, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 726 Minnesota 
Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Kaiser at (913) 551-7603.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: August 2, 1996.
William Rice,
Acting Regional Administrator.
