ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OR66-7281a; FRL-6006-9]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve Oregon Department of Environmental 
Quality's (ODEQ) new sections to Division 30 as submitted on June 1, 
1995, and the revisions to Divisions 20, 21, 22, 25, and 30, as 
submitted on January 22, 1997, of their State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 
June 12, 1998.

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. 
EPA, Region 10, Office of Air Quality, 1200 6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 
98101 and ODEQ, 811 S.W. Sixth Avenue, Portland, OR 97204.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Catherine Woo, Office of Air Quality, 
EPA, 1200 6th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98101, (206) 553-1814.
