ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[KY-092-1-9649b; FRL-5653-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Revisions to the Commonwealth of 
Kentucky's State Implementation Plan (SIP)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky through the 
Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet 
submitted revisions to the Kentucky SIP. This revision exempts acetone 
and perchloroethylene (tetrachloroethylene) from the list of compounds 
regulated as volatile organic compounds (VOC) for ozone control 
purposes.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the Commonwealth of Kentucky'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 
that direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation 
to this proposed rule. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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. 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: To be considered, comments must be received by February 20, 
1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
Kimberly Bingham, at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of 
the documents relative to this action are available for public 
inspection during normal business hours at the following locations. The
