ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 58

[ORWA-010799-b; FRL-6220-4]


Modification of the Ozone Monitoring Season for Washington and 
Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA 
is approving these States' request to modify its current ozone 
monitoring season as a direct final rule without a prior proposal 
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal amendment 
and anticipates no adverse comments. EPA's approval of these revisions 
will change the ozone monitoring season for Oregon and Washington to 
May 1 through September 30. A detailed rationale for the approval is 
set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received 
in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If the 
EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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 on this 
action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received in writing by February 19, 
1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: Chris Hall, Office 
of Air Quality (OAQ-107), EPA Region 10, 1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, WA 
98101. Copies of the state submittal are available at the following 
address for inspection during normal business hours. The interested 
persons wanting to examine these documents should make an appointment 
with the appropriate office at least 24 hours before the visiting day.
