40 CFR Part 52

[VT-006-01-1219b; A-1-FRL-5997-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Vermont; VOC Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by the State of Vermont on February 4, 1993, August 
9, 1993, and August 10, 1994. These SIP revisions establish 
requirements for certain categories of sources which emit volatile 
organic compounds. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the State's SIP revisions as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views these revisions as 
noncontroversial amendments and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this 
document, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this 
proposed rule. If EPA receives relevant 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 May 22, 1998.

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 Air Pollution Control Division, Agency of Natural Resources, 
Building 3 South, 103 South Main Street, Waterbury, VT 05676.
