ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[TX90-1-7360b; FRL-6160-3]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan, Texas: 
Recodification of Regulations to Control Lead Emissions From Stationary 
Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving the recodification of the Texas State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) regulations controlling emissions of lead 
from stationary sources. The recodification consists of a renumbering 
of the sections and administrative changes to the rules. There are no 
substantive changes to the rules.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 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 the direct final rule, no further activity 
is contemplated in relation to this action. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn, and all public 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 action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time.
    Please see the direct final rule of this action located elsewhere 
in today's Federal Register for a detailed description of the Texas 
lead recodification.

DATES: Comments must be postmarked by November 20, 1998.
