40 CFR Part 52

[OK-13-1-7080b; FRL-5822-4]


State of Oklahoma; Approval of State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
Revision; Oklahoma Cotton Gin Emissions Control SIP Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to approve the SIP revisions submitted by 
the State of Oklahoma on May 16, 1994, to satisfy the Federal Clean Air 
Act requirements of section 110. The May 16, 1994, submittal adopts 
opacity rules for cotton gin operations in Oklahoma to control 
particulate matter and visible emissions. In the Rules and Regulation 
section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's 
request as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the EPA 
views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse 
comments. The 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 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 the proposed rule. The 
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before 
June 13, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be mailed to Thomas H. Diggs, Chief, Air 
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency Region 6, 
1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Copies of the State's 
petition and other information relevant to this action are available
