ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[OH 118-1b; FRL-6353-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of revisions to the Ohio State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) for rules 3745-15-05 (De Minimis exemption) 
and 3745-35-02 (Permits to Operate) of the Ohio Administrative Code 
(OAC).
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State's request 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 
State's request is set forth in the direct final rule. The direct final 
rule will become effective without further notice unless EPA receives 
relevant adverse written comment. Should EPA receive such comment, we 
will publish a timely withdrawal informing the public that the direct 
final rule will not take effect and such public comment received will 
be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. If 
no adverse written comments are received, the direct final rule will 
take effect on the date stated in that document, and no further action 
will be taken. EPA does not plan to institute a second comment period 
on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before July 8, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), Region 5 
at the address listed below.

Protection Agency may be examined during normal business hours at the
