ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[A-1-FRL-5901-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Connecticut; Reasonably Available Control Technology for Nitrogen 
Oxides

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of Connecticut. This revision 
establishes and requires reasonably available control technology for 
major stationary sources of nitrogen oxides. In the Final Rules Section 
of this Federal Register, 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 that direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in 
relation to this proposed 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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 proposal. 
Any parties interested in commenting on this proposal should do so at 
this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 5, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Susan Studlien, Deputy Director, 
Office of Ecosystem Protection (mail code CAA), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region I, JFK Federal Bldg., Boston, MA 02203. 
Copies of the State submittal and EPA's technical support document are 
available for public inspection during normal business hours, by 
appointment at the Office of Ecosystem Protection, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region I, One Congress Street, 11th floor, Boston, 
MA and the Bureau of Air Management, Department of Environmental 
Protection, State Office Building, 79 Elm Street, Hartford, CT 06106-
1630.
