ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OH104-1b; FRL-5822-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio Ozone 
Maintenance Plan

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Ohio on July 9, 1996, and 
January 31, 1997, which would provide greater flexibility for the State 
of Ohio in selecting a volatile organic compound emission reduction 
measure or measures to address a future ozone standard violation. 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rule will be withdrawn and the public comments received will be 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 June 13, 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 Paskevicz at (312) 886-6084 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 Paskevicz, at (312) 886-6084.

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: April 23, 1997.
