[ND7-1-6882b; FRL-5618-7]


Clean Air Act Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation 
Plan for North Dakota; Revisions to the Air Pollution Control Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by the State of North Dakota with a letter dated 
December 21, 1994. The submittal addressed revisions to SIP Chapter 2, 
regarding delegatable authorities and asbestos law revisions, and 
revisions to air pollution control rules regarding general provisions; 
ambient air quality standards; new source performance standards (NSPS); 
and national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAPs). 
The submittal also addressed the following issues which were reviewed 
separately: revisions to the Title V permit to operate program; 
revisions to the Acid Rain program; and emission standards for 
hazardous air pollutants for source categories (MACT standards).
    In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is acting 
on the State's SIP revisions 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 
EPA's actions 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 and the direct final rule will become 
effective. 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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 this 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 in writing by 
November 7, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Amy 
Platt, 8P2-A, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the 
State's submittal and documents relevant to this proposed rule are 
available for inspection during normal business hours at the following 
locations: Air Program, Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, 
999 18th Street, suite 500, Denver, Colorado 80202-2405; and North 
Dakota State Department of Health and Consolidated Laboratories, 
Environmental Health Section, 1200 Missouri Avenue, Bismarck, North 
Dakota, 58502-5520.

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

    Dated: September 13, 1996.
