ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[WA59-7134b; FRL-5708-4]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: 
Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Washington for the purpose of 
revising Regulations II and III of the Puget Sound Air Pollution 
Control Agency (PSAPCA) Regulations. The SIP revision was submitted by 
the State to satisfy certain Federal Clean Air Act requirements. In the 
Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the 
State'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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 based on 
this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period 
on this action.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
April 21, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston, 
Environmental Protection Specialist (OAQ-107), Office of Air Quality, 
at the EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents 
relevant to this proposed rule are available for public inspection 
during normal business hours at the following locations. The interested 
persons wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment 
with the appropriate office at least 24 hours before the visiting day.

Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, Office of Air Quality, 1200 
6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Montel Livingston, Office of Air
