ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[KY 90-1-9735b: FRL6130-2]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans: 
Kentucky: Adoption of General Conformity Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposal rule.

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

SUMMARY: On November 10, 1995, the Commonwealth of Kentucky Natural 
Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet (KNREPC) submitted 
revisions to the Kentucky State Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning 
the adoption of criteria and procedures for demonstrating and assuring 
the ``Conformity of General Actions.'' In the final rules section of 
this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the Commonwealth of 
Kentucky'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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. The EPA will not institute a second 
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting should do so at 
this time.

DATES: Comments must be received by August 26, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Mr. Gregory Crawford 
at the EPA Regional Office listed below.
    Copies of the documents relative to this action are available for 
public inspection during normal business hours at the following 
locations. The interested persons wanting to examine these documents
