[GA-42-1-9908b; FRL6321-2]


Implementation Plan and Redesignation Request for the Muscogee 
County, Georgia Lead Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to 
simultaneously approve the lead state implementation plan (SIP) and 
redesignation request for the Muscogee County, Georgia lead 
nonattainment area. Both plans dated September 28, 1998, were submitted 
by the State of Georgia for the purpose of demonstrating that the 
Muscogee County area has attained the lead National Ambient Air Quality 
Standard (NAAQS). In the final rules section of this Federal Register, 
the EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial revision amendment 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 
the 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 May 12, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Kimberly Bingham, at 
the EPA Regional Office listed below. The interested persons wanting to 
examine these documents should make an appointment with the appropriate 
office at least 24 hours before the visiting day. Copies of the
