ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 70

[WY-001b; FRL-6234-2]


Clean Air Act Proposed Full Approval of Operating Permit Program; 
Approval of Expansion of State Program Under Section 112(l); State of 
Wyoming

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is taking direct final action to approve the operating 
permit program submitted by the State of Wyoming. Wyoming's program was 
submitted for the purpose of meeting the Federal Clean Air Act 
directive that states develop, and submit to EPA, programs for issuing 
operating permits to all major stationary sources and to certain other 
sources within the states' jurisdiction. In the ``Rules and 
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, the EPA is promulgating 
full approval of the Wyoming program as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
action and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for 
the approval is set forth in the preamble to the direct final rule. In 
addition, EPA is also approving the expansion of Wyoming's program for 
receiving delegation of section 112 standards to include non-part 70 
sources. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, 
no further activity is contemplated in relation to this 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. 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.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing on or before March 24, 
1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to: Richard R. Long, 
Director, Air and Radiation Program, Mailcode 8P-AR, Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA), Region VIII, 999 18th Street, Suite 500, 
Denver, Colorado 80202. Copies of the documents relevant to this action 
are available for public inspection during normal business at the above 
address. Copies of the State documents relevant to this action are 
available for public inspection at the Wyoming Department of 
Environmental Quality, Air Quality Division, 122 25th Street, Cheyenne, 
WY 82002.

Final rule of the same title which is located in the Rules section of
