ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OH101-1b; FRL-5631-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA is proposing to approve a Sulfur Dioxide State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision request submitted by the State of 
Ohio on July 18, 1996. This requested revision allows Ohio to revert to 
an emission limit from the Federal Implementation Plan for Ohio 
Edison's Sammis plant and tightens the emission limit for Ohio Edison's 
Toronto plant. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, 
USEPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the agency views this as a 
noncontroversial SIP revision 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. 
However, if the USEPA receives significant adverse comments which have 
not been previously addressed, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 
and the public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent 
final rule based on this proposed rule. The USEPA will not institute a 
second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by November 8, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the revision request are available for inspection 
at the following address: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 
5, Air and Radiation Division, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 
Illinois 60604. (It is recommended that you telephone Fayette Bright at 
(312)

    Written comments should be sent to: J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 
Illinois 60604.

Final action of the same title which is located in the Rules and 
Regulations Section of this Federal Register.
