ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[OH102-1b; FRL-5675-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is 
proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 
submitted by the State of Ohio on August 30, 1996, which would provide 
Ford Motor Company an extended exemption from opacity limitations for 
start-up of coal-fired boilers at its Cleveland Engine Plant 1. This 
revision would extend the exemption from 3 hours to 6 hours after 
start-up. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, USEPA is 
approving this SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the agency views this as a noncontroversial 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and the public comments 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 does not plan 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 March 27, 1997.

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 John Summerhays 
at (312) 886-6067 before visiting the Region 5 Office.)
    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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Summerhays, at (312) 886-6067.

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

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.

    Dated: January 30, 1997.

Acting Regional Administrator.
