ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[Region II Docket No. NY29-1-187b; FRL-6193-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New York

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is 
proposing to correct the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State 
of New York regarding the State's general prohibition on air pollution 
pursuant to section 110(k)(6) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the correction as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for approving the correction is 
set forth in the direct final rule. The direct final rule will become 
effective without further notice unless the Agency receives relevant 
adverse written comment on this rule. Should the Agency receive such 
comment, it will publish a document informing the public that the 
direct final rule did not take effect and such public comment received 
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed 
rule. If no adverse comments are received, the direct final rule will 
take effect on the date stated in that document and no further activity 
will be taken on this proposed rule. EPA does not plan to institute a 
second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 28, 1998.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Ronald J. Borsellino, 
Chief, Air Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region II 
Office, 290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007-1866.
    Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available at 
the following address for inspection during normal business hours: 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region II Office, 290 Broadway, 25th 
Floor, New York, New York 10007-1866.
