Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans


Kentucky: Approval of Revisions to the Louisville State 
Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the Air Pollution Control 
District of Jefferson County portion of the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) submitted by the Commonwealth of Kentucky through the Natural 
Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet on November 12, 1993, 
and amended on April 5, 1994, and June 30, 1997, which includes the 15 
Percent Rate-of-Progress Plan (15 percent plan) for the Louisville 
moderate ozone nonattainment area. This submittal was made to meet the 
15 percent reduction in emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 
requirement of section 182(b)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 
1990 (CAA).
    In the Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the

[[Page 49426]]

Kentucky Plan submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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, no further activity is contemplated. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 13, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Scott Martin at the 
EPA Regional Office listed below. Copies of the documents relevant to 
this proposed rule are available for public inspection during normal
