[UT10-1-6700b; UT-001-0014b; UT-001-0015b; FRL-6314-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Utah; Forward and Definitions, Revision to Definition for Sole Source 
of Heat and Emissions Standards, Nonsubstantive Changes; General 
Requirements, Open Burning; and Forward and Definitions, Addition of 
Definition for PM10 Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the Governor of the 
State of Utah on July 11, 1994, for the purpose of establishing a 
modification to the definition for ``Sole Source of Heat'' in UACR 
R307-1-1, as well as to make a nonsubstantive change to UACR R307-1-4, 
Emissions Standards. On February 6, 1996, a SIP revision to UACR R307-
1-2 was submitted by the Governor of Utah which contains changes to 
Utah's open burning requirements to require that the local county fire 
marshal has to establish 30-day open burning windows in order for open 
burning to occur. Other minor changes are made in this revision to UACR 
R307-1-2.4, ``General Burning'' and R307-1-2.5, ``Confidentiality of 
Information.'' In addition, on July 9, 1998, SIP revisions were 
submitted that would add a definition for ``PM10 
Nonattainment Area'' to UACR R307-1-1. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' 
section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP 
revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views these as a noncontroversial SIP revisions and anticipates 
no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth 
in the preamble to the direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse 
comments, EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule. If 
EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule 
and it will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments 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 must do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing on or before April 26, 
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 hours at the Air 
and Radiation Program, Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII,
