ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[KY104-1-9818b; FRL-6152-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Commonwealth of 
Kentucky

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky which revises 
the emissions budget for use in determination of Transportation 
Conformity in the Edmonson and Owensboro ozone maintenance area. In the 
final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving the 
State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without a 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 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 
on this rule. Any parties interested in commenting on this rule should 
do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by October 5, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Kelly Sheckler at 
the Region 4, Environmental Protection Agency, Air Planning Branch, 61 
Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, Georgia 30303.
