ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[FL-065-9623b; FRL-6167-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation 
of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; State of Florida

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Florida which revises the 
emissions budget for use in determination of Transportation Conformity 
in the Florida Southeast counties of Dade, Broward and Palm Beach. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 document. Any parties interested in commenting 
on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: To be considered, comments must be received by November 23, 
1998.

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