ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OH106-1b; FRL-5808-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On November 12, 1996, USEPA received a State Implementation 
Plan (SIP) revision request from the Ohio Environmental Protection 
Agency (Ohio EPA). This revision request was in the form of an 
amendment to the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) which added an 
additional exemption from organic compound emission controls for 
qualifying new sources. In this action, USEPA is proposing to approve 
the State's SIP revision request. In the final rules section of this 
Federal Register, the USEPA is approving this action as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because USEPA views this as a 
noncontroversial action 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 
USEPA receives substantive adverse comments not previously addressed by 
the State or USEPA, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule 
based on the proposed rule. USEPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before May 
16, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    Copies of the State submittal and USEPA's analysis of it are 
available for inspection at: Regulation Development Section, Air 
Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 
5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Randolph O. Cano, Regulation 
Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 
Illinois 60604, (312) 886-6036.

final rule published in the rules section of this Federal Register.
