ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WA61-7136, WA64-7139b; FRL-5869-9]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: 
Washington

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approves in part several 
minor revisions to the state of Washington Implementation Plan (SIP). 
Pursuant to section 110 (a) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Director of 
the Washington Department of Ecology (WDOE) submitted two requests to 
EPA dated November 25, 1996 and April 7, 1997 to revise certain 
regulations of a local air pollution control agency, namely, the Puget 
Sound Air Pollution Control Agency (PSAPCA). In the final rules Section 
of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision 
as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views 
this as a noncontroversial revision amendment 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 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
September 5, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Montel Livingston, 
Environmental Protection Specialist (OAQ-107), Office of Air Quality, 
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 visiting day. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 10, Office of Air Quality, 1200 
6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101. The State of Washington Department of 
Ecology, P.O. Box 47600, Olympia, Washington 98504.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lisa Jacobsen, Office of Air Quality 
(OAQ-107), EPA, 1200 6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101, (206) 553-6917.

Final action which is located in the rules section of this Federal 
Register.

    Dated: July 17, 1997.
