ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[DE030-1008b; FRL-5856-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
State of Delaware, General Conformity Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of Delaware for the purpose of 
establishing the requirements for determining conformity of general 
federal actions to applicable air quality implementation plans (General 
Conformity). In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA 
is approving Delaware's SIP revision as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views it as noncontroversial SIP 
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. If 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. 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 must be received in writing by August 14, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to David L. Arnold, Chief, Ozone/CO & 
Mobile Sources Section, Mailcode 3AT21, Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 
19107. Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available 
for public inspection during normal business hours at the EPA office 
listed above; and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources & 
Environmental Control, 89 Kings Highway, P.O. Box 1401, Dover, Delaware 
19903.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rose Quinto, (215) 566-2182, at the 
EPA Region III address above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the Direct 
Final action of the same title (Delaware General Conformity Rule) which

Register.
