[MT-001-0002b, MT-001-0003b; FRL-5934-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Montana; 1990 Base Year Carbon Monoxide Emission Inventories for 
Montana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of the 1990 base year carbon 
monoxide (CO) emission inventories for Missoula, Billings, and Great 
Falls that were submitted by the State to satisfy certain requirements 
of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended in 1990. In the Final Rules 
Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's State 
Implementation Plan (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. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
January 14, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Richard R. Long, 
Director, Air Program (8P2-A), United States Environmental Protection
