ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[Docket #OR-1-0001; FRL-5853-6]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants: Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the Section 111(d)/129 State Plan 
submitted by Oregon on December 31, 1996. The State Plan was submitted 
by Oregon to satisfy certain Federal Clean Air Act requirements. In the 
Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the 
State's Plan submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and 
anticipates that it will not receive any significant, material, and 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in 
the direct final rule and incorporated by reference herein. If no 
significant, material, and adverse comments are received in response to 
this proposed 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 this proposed rule. The 
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action.

DATE: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
August 11, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Catherine Woo, 
Environmental Protection Specialist, 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 day of the visit.
