40 CFR Part 52

[ID5-2-7075b; FRL-5664-9]


Clean Air Act Promulgation of Reclassification of PM-10 
Nonattainment Areas in Idaho

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action identifies those nonattainment areas in the State 
of Idaho which have failed to attain the National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter 
of less than or equal to ten micrometers (PM-10) by the applicable 
attainment date of December 31, 1995. This action also proposes to 
grant a second one-year extension to the attainment date for the Power-
Bannock Counties PM-10 nonattainment in Idaho. In the Final Rules 
Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is granting this extension as 
a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views 
this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for granting the extension 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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. The EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action.

DATES: Comments on this proposal must be received in writing by January 
17, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
Montel Livingston, SIP Manager, Environmental Protection Agency, Office 
of Air Quality, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle Washington, 98101. Copies of 
the documents relevant to this action are available for public 
inspection during normal business hours at the same address.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven K. Body, Office of Air Quality, 
Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, 
Washington, 98101, 206/553-0782.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the Direct 
Final action which is located in the Rules Section of this Federal 
Register.

    Dated: December 5, 1996.
Chuck Clarke,
Regional Administrator.
