ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[NH-039-7166b; A-1-FRL-6416-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
New Hampshire; General Conformity

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve New Hampshire's General Conformity 
Rule, incorporating it into the State Implementation Plan (SIP). In the 
Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving New 
Hampshire's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because we view it as noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse 
comments. See the direct final rule for detailed rationale for the 
approval. If EPA receives no adverse comments in response to this 
action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA does receive 
adverse comments, we will withdraw the direct final rule and respond to 
all public comments received in a subsequent final rule based on this 
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. If you 
are interested in commenting on this action, you should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 15, 
1999.

ADDRESSES: You may mail comments to Susan Studlien, Deputy Director, 
Office of Ecosystem Protection, EPA Region 1 (CAA), One Congress 
Street, Suite 1100 (CAA), Boston, MA 02114. You may also email comments 
to [email protected].
    You may review copies of the relevant documents to this action by 
appointment during normal business hours at the Office of Ecosystem 
Protection, EPA Region 1, One Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts; 
the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, USEPA, 401 M 
Street, S.W., (LE-131), Washington, DC; and the Air Resources Division, 
Department of Environmental Services, 64 North Main Street, Concord, 
New Hampshire.
